Įxcel looks gorgeous on iOS, and its subset of features seems well chosen for the kind of work that it makes sense to do on a tablet. But Excel for iPad does a surprisingly good job of reducing the risk, especially when you work on a high-powered tablet like the iPad Pro ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) with its Smart Keyboard. A phone or tablet sounds, therefore, like a dangerous place to edit a spreadsheet containing anything more serious than your to-do list or cake recipes. In a worksheet, an input error could bankrupt your company or destroy your scientific results. When you work on a spreadsheet, it's not using like a word processor, in which you can make a typing error and your meaning will (probably) still be clear. The most impressive thing about the Excel iPad app isn't any one particular feature-it's the fact that it exists at all.
