Question

Which andriod application can allow excel form validation?

Dec 14, 2012 12:39AM PST

Hi

I am looking for a Android application that can edit excel that are created using laptop.
Basically this excel uses the excel features like form validation.
e.g http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html

I am using officeSuite pro but the form validation (which i created using a laptop) does not work when i open it in andriod office Suite pro application.

Any advise for a suiteable andriod appl?

Thanks.

I can't guess how long you've been around the small machines such as the Palm Pilot to present day but they are not PCs and features like that don't exist for now.

You should try Microsoft's Surface 8 RT and see if that works and then there's our solution. We write an app tailored for collecting the information.

.....Quick Office for Android. Not sure if it will work, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

How could it destroy all copies of the file? Has anyone mentioned to you about backup copies?

Install the "e-Droid-Cell TRIAL (No Save)" if you need more time to test, but remember TRIAL has limited number of rows/columns, and NO Save option...
