How to use Excel viewer

What it does

Opens Excel files (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV files and lets you browse them sheet by sheet. It only shows the file: nothing is changed or created.

Step by step

  1. Drop an Excel or CSV file onto the screen, or click to choose one. While the file opens, “Opening the document” is shown.
  2. Click a sheet name under the table to switch sheets. The table has column names (A, B, C) and row numbers, which stay in place as you scroll.
  3. Click a cell to see its address and value in the bar above the table. A cell with a formula shows “Formula” and “Value” separately. After clicking the table, you can also move between cells with the arrow keys, PageUp, PageDown, Home and End.
  4. Type in “Find in sheet” and every cell in the current sheet that contains the text is tinted. Press Enter for the next match and Shift+Enter for the previous one. The “Previous match” and “Next match” buttons do the same.
  5. In “File info” on the right, see the number of sheets, the rows and columns of the current sheet, and the file size.

Frequently asked questions

Can it open a password-protected Excel file?
No. It tells you “This file is password protected”. Remove the password in Excel, save the file again and upload it.
A formula result differs from what I saw in Excel.
Formulas are not recalculated; the value saved in the file is shown. A value that changed before the last save in Excel may not be included.
I can’t see colors or charts.
Formatting such as colors and fonts, charts and pictures are not shown. Only values, formulas, merged cells and column widths are read. If the file has charts or pictures, “File info” tells you how many.
