Excel for mobile​

Open shared files on Android devices (Insiders)

We're extending the ability for recipients of shared files using their personal Microsoft account to open and view them in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Android without signing in. To make edits or leave comments, they will still need to sign in with a Microsoft account.

This means that you can now confidently share documents, worksheets, and presentations, from your personal Microsoft account, and make them available for review with others while giving recipients an effortless way to open and view the content on their mobile devices. Read more here >
