Data in Excel 2007

Spreadsheet data in Excel 2007.

Have you been in this situation? You are in charge of an Excel report, like the Adventure Works sales data in the picture. You need to put the data on your SharePoint site so that other people throughout the company can use it for their various needs. For example, Accounting will use it as a basis for calculating bonuses, and Marketing will use it to help decide how to spend advertising dollars.

So you want people to be able to look at and work with the data, but you don't want them editing the original data in Excel because your workbook is the master version, and should not be compromised.

What's a good solution to this problem? Excel Services. Click Next to learn more.
