Excel formula to wordpress

    I have an excel file with a number of calculations in it. I want users of my website to be able to use those calculations by inputting their own data but I do not want them to know what the formula is (as it has taken a very long time to develop and will be ripped off immediately). I know that I can embed the file with MS Web App. I was thinking that it would be good if users could only input their figures on the interactive spreadsheet on the website but that the only way they could save it is as a pdf without the formulas. The ultimate target for me is that users will only have to come back to my site each time they want to do the calculation rather than be able to do it on their own desktop with my formula :(.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can achieve my goal here?

    Many thanks

  • If you let users have access to an Excel spreadsheet somehow, they’ll be able to download it, and then they can probably get the formulas out of it.

    If you want to do this the right way, the best thing that you can do is to create a PHP function/functions that will do the same calculation/calculations and use those on your site. That will keep everything server-side and guard your formulas.
