How to Embed an Interactive Excel Workbook from a Sky Drive in Windows Office Live!

For the past two or three months, I have been uploading the Excel Workbooks that I use during my video tutorials to my Sky Drive at Windows Office Live! – www.office.live.com Just this past week, I learned that I can also “embed” those stored files here – in a blog post – on my website! So, here is my first attempt to share an “interactive Excel Workbook” with you.

Embedded Excel Workbook

This Excel worksheet is one of the basic data sets that I use when I demonstrate how to create Excel Pivot Tables. Scroll horizontally or vertically to see the Pivot Table. Notice that you can use the drop-down filters in the Pivot Table!

Click the Icon in the lower right corner of the Excel WebApps frame and you will be taken to my Sky Drive online where you can view or manipulate the worksheet in Full Screen More. Or, you can choose to download this file to your computer to work on it with the full range of Excel commands.

What is an Interactive Excel Workbook? Please Vote

I created this short video for two reasons:

1)  To demonstrate what an “Interactive Excel Workbook” looks like. Interactive Excel files are “published” to an Internet or Intranet browser. You save an Excel Workbook as a “Web Page.” Adding “interactivity” is an option that you can select.

Notice that there are no Menus and there is only one toolbar. Also, you activate the other worksheets in a different way.

I am happy to make these Practice files available to you – if there is sufficient interest.

2) Please signify your level of interest by taking the POLL on the sidebar of this page. It is fast and easy – there is only one question; and only one choice, “Yes” or “No.”

I hope to hear from you!
