    Hi! You need to save your Mac Mini files to OneDrive. Install OneDrive on your iPad and iPhone.

    On your Mac Mini, open the Apple Store > Download OneDrive > Sign in.

    If your Excel files created on a Mac Mini are not showing up on your iPhone or iPad, it could be due to a few reasons:

    1. File Syncing: Ensure that you are using a cloud service like OneDrive or SharePoint to save your files. If the files are saved locally on your Mac Mini, they won't automatically appear on your iPhone or iPad unless you upload them to a cloud service.
    2. App Compatibility: Make sure that you have the latest version of the Excel app installed on your iPhone or iPad. Sometimes, older versions may not sync properly with files created on newer versions of Excel.
    3. Network Connection: Ensure that both your Mac Mini and your iPhone/iPad are connected to the internet. Syncing issues can occur if there is a poor or no internet connection.
    4. iCloud Drive: If you are using iCloud Drive, ensure that the files are saved in the iCloud Drive folder on your Mac Mini. Files saved outside of this folder will not sync to your iPhone or iPad.
    5. File Format: Check if the files are saved in a compatible format that can be opened by Excel on iOS devices.

    By addressing these points, you should be able to find your Excel files on your iPhone or iPad.
