Microsoft Excel Web应用程序

Question

I'm trying to figure out a way to embed the Microsoft excel web app in an iframe on my own webapp. I like how the Microsoft Web Apps work and would love to be able to send some data from my webpage that I have stored in a javascript object over to this app. Is there anyway that I can do that? Right now the only way I can seem to get any data into this app is to create a file on a skydrive and then open it in the app, but what I really want to do is just have it open some data into some cells and then let the user do whatever they want with the data and save it on their computer or own skydrive.

Does anyone know how I can go about doing this? Sorry I don't have any code but I haven't tried anything yet because I really don't know where to start and can't find documentation on if it is possible to open this app with external data?

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

It does not look like you can create one. The only option for right now would be to upload a blank document and use that.

Take a look at http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2010/09/23/embedding-excel-web-app-in-your-own-web-page-or-blog.aspx

If that is not to your liking, you can always try Google Docs which has an extensive API .

As an advice to help you! You should to know any server side scripting language such as PHP. Excel files may be saved as csv -commas separated values- and those files could be manipulated easily using PHP or any other server side scripting technology.
