What works the same as Excel

  • The Excel way of working: ribbon, name box, formula bar and the familiar shortcuts.
  • Opens and saves .xlsx and .xlsm files that move to and from Excel without conversion.
  • 480 functions, including dynamic arrays like FILTER, SORT and UNIQUE.
  • Runs Excel VBA macros and UserForms, with a VBA editor.
  • Conditional formatting, tables, filters, charts and sparklines.

What is missing

  • Macros can't touch files, other programs or the network.
  • There are no ready-made downloads: it has to be set up on a server.

How to get started

  1. There's no installer: it runs on a server of your own and you use it in the browser.
  2. Install Python 3.11 or newer and Poetry, then download the project together with reflex_ddns_auth.
  3. In the project folder, run poetry install and then poetry run ./reflex_rerun.sh.
  4. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the workbook list.
