Why You Should Turn Excel Spreadsheets into Apps | Web Based Excel
Summary
An errant input, an inconsistent or incorrect data format (such as a date) or an overwrite of a formula or logic can result in at best wasted time and inefficiency, and at worst financial implications worth millions or even billions of dollars. Despite being so widely used, and created by one of the giants of the software industry, Microsoft Excel is a program which is full of security holes, making it virtually impossible to fully protect. Creating a web app from your Excel spreadsheets, on the other hand, keeps the underlying document hidden, running as the logic engine behind your very own unique browser-based application. Automating data exchange and running other programs can be difficult or impossible to do within Excel, forcing this inefficient additional effort. EASA, in contrast, enables process automation where data can be generated by running other programs or querying databases – without the user having any involvement.
