The features in Excel for iPad.
Here’s a look at the major features in Excel for iPad, looking over the five main tabs. The buttons will be familiar in most cases, though the underlying menus/galleries are different and limited compared to Excel for Windows or Mac.
Shameless plug:
Office for iPad: The Complete Guide is now available. Every tab, ribbon and menu in the detail that Microsoft’s own documentation/help misses out. Only $4.95 for Office-Watch.com readers and available to read today. Click here.
Below each image is a list of the buttons / menus from left to right.
