Converting Your Full Flagged Excel Workbook / Workbooks to an Application

Hi,

Is there any way to convert our Excel Workbooks to a Standalone Application.

So that it can be distributed.


We all love the functionality Excel Provides, Charts, Formulas, Macros, Functions etc.


Is it possible ??


Thanks in advance.
 
I don't understand your question. Excel already is an application. If there's a set of code or something you've built, you could distribute it as an XL add-in I suppose. Please clarify what it is you are wanting to do.
 
Hi Amy,


Could you plz further explain what you are trying to mean by "standalone application" and "cant be distributed"?


Regarding distribution of workbook among other users, excel has the option to protect the workbook(password protected) from being opened.


Kaushik
 
Hi, amy6147!


First of all welcome to Chandoo's website Excel forums. Thank you for your joining us and glad to have you here.


As a starting point I'd recommend you to read the three first green sticky topics at this forums main page. There you'll find general guidelines about how this site and community operates (introducing yourself, posting files, netiquette rules, and so on).


Among them you're prompted to perform searches within this site before posting, because maybe your question had been answered yet.


Feel free to play with different keywords so as to be led thru a wide variety of articles and posts, and if you don't find anything that solves your problem or guides you towards a solution, you'll always be welcome back here. Tell us what you've done, consider uploading a sample file as recommended, and somebody surely will read your post and help you.


And about your question...


The nearest approach you might get is to develop the same features under .NET platform (I'd suggest in VB.NET), but anyhow you'll have to deal with a machine with Excel installed and the overload of handling communications with Excel Object Libraries, so I'm wondering if it'd be worthy to do that.


Of course there might be a lot of reasons that you didn't post, are there?


Regards!
