    Are we allowed to ask... Is there a tablet that can run excel macros?

    I am doing some design work in Excel and have created a data input file that uses the drop down consolidate functions to populate lists of repeatable activities. However, each event requires a separate data entry so I wrote a simple "Add Sheet" macro with a form button to activate it. Ultimately I want the data to be entered in real time, so I am thinking of a tablet application that would run excel vbs. (i.e. macro enabled work book)

    Does anyone have experience with using macros on a tablet platform? Any recommendations would be appreciated. It won't be used for any other applications or function so the most bare bones (cheapest) is what I am looking for.

    I'm hopeful that someone has tried to do this before me.

    MODERATORS: I apologize if this is not an appropriate topic - but would appreciate any guidance on where to go ask the question

    Macros definitely don't work on iPads.
