For example, I often struggle to remember where freeze panes is in the desktop version but it's very obvious in the Android tablet version.
And also a lot quicker to find what you want. The sometimes overwhelming features and menus have been condensed with only the most important ones included, which makes it a lot more simple and straightforward to use. If you're already familiar with Excel (Office 2007 and onwards) then the ribbon interface will be very recognizable and you'll be able to easily flick between menus in the slick interface without problems. Support of other cloud services would be useful. There are also no page layout features, image editing options, and you can't import data from other sources or perform any automatic conditional formatting.Įxcel for Android tablets also falls down on its collaboration functionality.You can email a sheet as an attachment but not enable a document to be edited by multiple users at the same time.īut, on a positive note, you can sync your OneDrive and Dropbox accounts, allowing you to open documents from and save them to the cloud (as well as your device, if you prefer). This includes the ability to search for a certain type of formula and to create a formula from a certain selection, such as the top row or left column. While the most commonly used formulas have been included, there are a few features that make using Excel easier that haven't been included. So what can you do? You can format text, insert tables, pictures, charts and comments and change the way you view the spreadsheet. In fact, it feels like a very cut-down version, with only the most basic features included. Unsurprisingly, Excel for Android tablets is not as fully featured as its desktop sister version. In the preview version, there is no need to have an Office 365 account to download these apps a Microsoft email address is enough to sign up to this 'Freemium' version. But Microsoft is working on expanding it further, specifically to Intel-powered tablets. Given that Google's office suite has been out for some time, Microsoft is lagging behind in the touch-optimized productivity suite market, but it the company is hoping to find success from the many people who have already bought into its ecosystem.Ĭurrently Excel for Android tablets (along with Word and PowerPoint) is only available for ARM-based Android tablets with a 7" to 10.1" screen, 1GB RAM and running KitKat (4.4.x) or Lollipop (5.0).
