How to create/edit Excel Spreadsheets on the iPad?

Hi
My mom has an iPad which she wants to  use to create and edit spread sheets. However the Numbers app on the app store does not seem to be compatable with Excel. Are the 3rd Party apps any good? If yes, which is the best one? Also, is apple going to make the app fully compatable with Excel?

I use Documents to Go, but infrequently. QuickOffice is another (perhaps more) popular one. None of these have the full functionality of Excel, however, so you might want to ask about specific ways your mom uses spreadsheets to see if they can handle it.
Also, is apple going to make the app fully compatable with Excel?
Possibly, but nobody here would know for sure until Apple announces it. There is persistent speculation that Microsoft is developing Office for the iPad, but nothing concrete yet.

    How can I get an excel spreadsheet onto the iPad and make changes to it during my meeting this afternoon?

    I just bought splashtop, you have to have your home computer online,and download the pc version.  I have used it ot watch movies and to "go to work" on my ipad.  It controls the desktop through the ipad.  Whiteboard by splashtop does that and more and is on sale.  The education director at the hospital I work at is using that one.
    Splashtop 4.99 remote desktop(or laptop) control. Whiteboard 9.99 is remote control and more 9.99

  • How can I edit events in on the iPad syncing with mobileme beta version?

    We use MobileMe to sync events in Cal between an iMac, a MacBook and 2 iPhones. We just migrated to the beta version of Calendar in Mobile me and it works fine. We share calendars between our machine successfully using MobileMe (Beta).
    We just got a brand new iPad (WiFi 16GB) and configured it without problem except one. All the events are visible but cannot be edited on it. We can create a new event on the iPad but it won't show on the iMac.
    This issue does not exist with the Contacts or the Mails
    I guess this requires a specific parameter setting in MobileMe in this case. What do we need to change?
    Thank you in advance for helping.

    Actually we just found how to configure the iPad in the information provided by Apple in the MobileMe page (Calendar Beta for iPad)

  • How to create an excel spreadsheet?

    Hello,
    Im interested how to create the *.xls file with NI Library. I cant find the right function. Usually, Im using following code (ODBC):
    CDatabase database;
      CString sDriver = "MICROSOFT EXCEL DRIVER (*.XLS)"; // exactly the same name as in the ODBC-Manager
      CString sExcelFile = "c:\\demo.xls";                // Filename and path for the file to be created
      CString sSql;
      TRY
        // Build the creation string for access without DSN
        sSql.Format("DRIVER={%s};DSN='';FIRSTROWHASNAMES=1;READONLY=FALSE;CREATE_DB=\"%s\";DBQ=%s", sDriver,sExcelFile,sExcelFile);
        // Create the database (i.e. Excel sheet)
        if( database.OpenEx(sSql,CDatabase::noOdbcDialog) )
          // Create table structure
          sSql = "CREATE TABLE demo (Name TEXT,Age NUMBER)";
          database.ExecuteSQL(sSql);
          // Insert data
          sSql = "INSERT INTO demo (Name,Age) VALUES ('Bruno Brutalinsky',45)";
          database.ExecuteSQL(sSql);
          sSql = "INSERT INTO demo (Name,Age) VALUES ('Fritz Pappenheimer',30)";
          database.ExecuteSQL(sSql);
          sSql = "INSERT INTO demo (Name,Age) VALUES ('Hella Wahnsinn',28)";
          database.ExecuteSQL(sSql);
        // Close database
        database.Close();
      CATCH_ALL(e)
        TRACE1("Driver not installed: %s",sDriver);
      END_CATCH_ALL;
    I looked for the function with parameters like sExcelFile but i cant find the right. Do You have any idea How to work with NI Library and Excel files. If it will be possible, send me a procedure or example.... Thank you very much for help and advice.

    There are two examples that ship with Measurement Studio that demonstrate how to use the Measurement Studio C++ classes to interface to Excel. The examples are installed to the following locations by default:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\VCNET\Examples\Office\ExcelAdvanced
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2003\VCNET\Examples\Office\ExcelReport
    The top level class that you use in this API is CNiExcelApplication. You should be able to find this through the Index in the Measurement Studio help.
    One point to note that this API controls the Excel application through its ActiveX automation interface. This is different than the approach you are using above and so will require that you write different code to accomplish your task.

  • How to create an excel workbook using the excel toolkit

    I've starte working with the excel toolkit combined with the GOOP toolkit. After finding out that the GOOP Toolkit apparently has problems working with LabView 5, with which I developed my application, I changed to LabView 6. My first step was to open an existing excel workbook. Here I was successful. On the other hand I could not create a workbook using the excel open vi. Did I miss something?

    There's an input to the excel open that chooses "open workbook from file" or
    "open new workbook" which should do it. Unless you meant 'worksheet' in
    which case there is another function in the tookit to do that.

  • To create a mailbox in mail the ipad manual says tap edit in the mailbox list. There is no edit in the mailbox list. How do I create a new mailbox?

    To create a mailbox in mail the ipad manual says tap edit in the mailbox list. There is no edit in the mailbox list. How do I create a mailbox?

    An IMAP configuration will NOT allow one to create mailboxes on one's iPad - from personal experience - one requires a POP account.  Briefly, the Apple Mail app for iOS 6 (iPad, iPhone) has no capability to add mailboxes to the original ones that are included as part of the app - if (and only if) the email account is configured as IMAP.  So... Keniff is correct: One must go to one's laptop/desktop, open a browser, and add the mailboxes desired for your IMAP account. Unfortunately, one seems to have little choice for the account configuration.  Apple's iOS does the configuration quite automatically with one's account provider. For example, my Charter mail is IMAP while my Gmail account is POP.  The latter allows edit/add for new or existing mailboxes on my iPad 2.

    I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

  • Creating/editing Excel files(.xls)

    hi,
    does anyone knows java opensource library for produce/modify excel files?
    I need a very simple library because i'have not a lot of time for my activity. moreover i need to produce simple excel report from a ResultSet with simple basic formatting infos.
    for example i need to bold the header fields,etc...

    Imagine if the forum had an extra layer between the "Post" button and actually posting the thread.
    It would automatically search the forum (google too perhaps) based on identified key words (create edit excel) in this case and suggest a list of existing threads.
    That would give the originator the chance to find the answer they were looking for without starting a new thread.
    We know that some of these users can't be bothered to search (the beauty of the internet...) so why not do it for them.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
    Soft reboot :
    1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
    - Alt
    - Right Shift
    - Delete
    2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
    Hard reboot :
    1) your Blackberry device is on
    2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
    3) Put the battery back
    4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
    Please tell us if it works for you.

  • How do I download a excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to my Mac Pro laptop

    how do I download an excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to Mac Pro. the tech at the store showed my how to upload but not down load.

    It kind of depends on how it is setup to sync. You can try to reverse his steps.
    If you have icloud and use numbers - it will be done by icloud and you don't need to do anything
    If he used file sharing in itunes, you need to drag that document backwards.
    You can also email it.
    And perhaps there are other ways as well.
