7. Excel Services I: The basics Save a workbook to your SharePoint site Say you’re in charge of an Excel report, like the Adventure Works sales data here. You need to put the data on your SharePoint site so that other people can use it for their various needs. You want people to be able to look at and work with the data, but you don’t want them editing the original data in Excel because your workbook is the master version, and should not be compromised. What’s a good solution to this problem? Excel Services.
8. Excel Services I: The basics Introducing Excel Services Here’s the same workbook in Excel Services on a SharePoint site. But what is Excel Services? Excel Services is an interactive Web view for spreadsheets — a way for people to see data in their Web browser instead of using Excel. What they see looks like the Excel program, but it’s not. In fact, to look at a worksheet in Excel Services, people don’t even need Excel installed — just a Web browser.
