Has anyone tried this? It looks very interesting to create an Excel App on the web that can be consumed by a Web Page - and used by those who don't have Excel installed on the PC.
I don't have time to try it for a couple of months. It looks very interesting.
If someone has tried it, or has time to try it, please give some feedback.

Microsoft SkyDive is now OneDrive


The story starts with (bold underline are mine):
"Embedding a Range of Any Excel Workbook in a Web Page or Blog Post Back in February of 2011, I was in Redmond for my annual pilgrimage to Microsoft. On this trip, I was able to use a new feature that is available to you now."
Background: What is the Excel Web App?
The Excel Web app was introduced in Excel 2010. Anyone with a free account at Skydrive.Live.com could save their Excel files to a server on the Internet. You could view the Excel file on the web. Even better, you can edit the Excel file on the web, even if you have a computer that doesn't have Excel [I know, when would THAT ever happen??? Perhaps if you were visiting your grandmother...]. The version 1.0 release feels remarkably like Excel. You can use most formulas.
