Excel and Android tablet

Question

Is there a way to open  workbooks with Form controls in Excel on my Android tablet. Seems kinda useless right now if most of my files have something like this

Answer 1

Hello Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Office community.

The feature you are looking for is currently not available in Excel for Android tablet.

As mentioned in the following article, OLE objects or ActiveX control are not supported on Android device.

I really really hope the new update includes  Form Controls as I also find it very limiting in how I can put to use the tablet I purchased today. I am disappointed.

Answer 3

I understand that you cannot divulge when these updates will  be available but it seems to me that there are many people waiting on them. The Active X problem seems to have been cleared up in the last update, I urge you to please sort out the forms control issue ASAP.

Thanks
