    Spreadsheet to program

    Hi!

    I've got a pretty extensive Excel document with genetic calculations, with lots of different calculations (on some sections it's in 16 000 rows across several hundred columns).

    The answers in all these cells change depending on what I write into only 28 original cells. Once all the calculations are done by Excel, the resluts will be presented in 1-16 cells.

    All I want now is for a program to convert the spread sheets into a simple little program or web app or something where someone can change the content of the 28 original cells and immediately see the result of the 1-16 cells. Is there a program that does this?

    This is basically all the information that I want to be visible in the resulting program, though all the calculations should be run in the background by the program. The yellow cells are the ones anyone should be able to change:

    Sincerely,
    Tina,

    Insert another sheet called (say USER)
    in col.1 with only 28 cells the user will change. (these feed the true sheet)
    then column 3 will show the referenced 16 cells.

    Thing is, though, that this dokument has become so massive that when I try to insert any data in the 28 cells, Excel lags. I need a program that does all the calculations faster than Excel.

    Re: Spreadsheet to program

    1 option *may* be to put all your basic data in a seperate workbook, and then just reference that with your formulas?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    You mean I have only the 28 cells where one can change the data and the 1-16 cells with the results in one document and then have all the other cells with formulas in another document and link them together? Will that also speed up the calculating process, or will it slow it down?

    Re: Spreadsheet to program

    There's no obvious answer.

    If the workbook uses formulas to arrive at its results (versus VBA), then you would have to convert all of that to code. Pick a language you like (Java would be a common choice for a web app), get a development environment, and have at it.

    That said, this is an Excel/VBA forum, so may not be the best place to ask.

    Thank you anyways, though. You've given me the first clues about what to do.
