    Convert Excel calculator to asp.net or php

    Hi,

    I am researching available products out there that will convert my excel based retirement calculator to a web app. My calculator uses macros and an inputs and expenses tab for user input. Then all the other tabs are generated outputs from the user inputs. I want the functionality to remain the same but for it to be a webapp. All my research thus far indicates:
    -limitations of 4000 cells
    -limitations on macros

    Any one successfully converted a complex workbook to a web app? I am not a software developer.

    Thanks
    Hank

    Hi Hank,

    Microsoft Access has some capabilities to move the desktop app function to the web. Read:

    As far as Excel, I don't think it will do what you want. Think of it this way. Microsoft sells (or rents as in Office 365) these programs. You want to put all this functionality on the web and bypass users from paying for Office/Excel.

    If you could write the functionality in an open source language like HTML then you are there. As for moving your Excel application to a browser - I don't think that is possible.

    You might try to market the functionality as a template or solution for those who already have Excel. That might be a method for you to get your retirement calculator in the marketplace.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Thanks,

    I found an Indian developer on Elance.com who is designing it for me. Will set it as SOLVED
