    Might be. What format is your music in (tip : don't say MP3 )

    No idea. There doesn't seem to be a huge demand for musical spreadsheets... Just try it and see I suppose.

    Hi penzer

    Yes, but is your source file a .wav file or a midi file? Excel will play either of those, but the same code (you have to use a macro utilising APIs - it's not a native Excel thing) will not do both. If it's an mp3 file, I'm not sure whether it can be done, so it would need converting.

    Not if you want to maintain full functionality. You can save any workbook as a HTML file, so it will open under Explorer (or any other browser), but all your functionality within formulae and such will be lost.
