I have just recently bought a 13" mac book pro and my dearest wife would like an ipad2 would excel be compatible across the iPad 2 and the MBP?

Hello people,
Need a little help here, I recently purchased my first ever MacBook Pro and my dearest wife is looking at using an iPad 2 to do some excel spreadsheets for her new cake enterprise.
The question i have is can excel for Mac be transferred over to and from these two devices.
Thanks in anticipation
Russ

There are several iPad apps that can read and write Excel files or Excel-compatible files. Numbers is one, and I use it on both my MBP and my iPad, though not heavily on either. I also use Excel on the Mac, and because I'm used to it, I prefer it to Numbers, which works a bit differently.
I would be leery of buying an iPad to use as a substitute for a computer. Typing on it is very inefficient unless you use an external keyboard, and no Mac or Windows software runs on it -- only iOS software. You must use a computer to move files onto and off it, organizing them on it is difficult, and if you don't have a network printer you can't print from it. I dearly love my iPad 2, but it's an adjunct to my heavily-used MBP, not a substitute for one.
