    Host Excel Workbook?

    I have an Excel Workbook with Macros and live data (imported via Yahoo Finance). I want to find someone or a company who can help me in hosting this type of Excel Spreadsheet so that I can publish it on the web and it will update automatically/real-time rather than just taking screenshots from my machine and posting them. Any ideas if this is possible and who could fulfill this request?

    macros will not work on the Internet. Google Docs might be possible, but I think the code would be Java Script.
    Hope that helps.

    What about using SharePoint?

    I will contact SharePoint to see if they can help. I don't think Google Docs is robust enough and/or too time consuming to start over. Ideally, I'd like to keep the spreadsheet in its current state, just re-present it on a website, real-time

    Mordred, sorry to burst your bubble, but SharePoint is just a platform to develop and host web sites. The much glorified Excel Services in SP Server 2010 does nothing but display an Excel sheet in the browser. Anything but the most basic funtionality will not work. Even relatively simple things like like data validation drop-downs don't display, nevermind VBA.

    My company is just deploying a SP Server 2010 Enterprise farm, and I was deeply disappointed with that feature.
