Abstract

A method includes receiving a spreadsheet application that is executable using a spreadsheet program; converting the spreadsheet application into a data file that defines characteristics of a networked version of the spreadsheet application that was converted from the spreadsheet application by applying permissions that are set in the spreadsheet application and not applied in the spreadsheet application, wherein the characteristics are defined based on the permissions and include information defining cells of the networked version of the spreadsheet application that are displayable to a user of the networked version of the spreadsheet application; and transmitting the data file to a server to make the data file available to network users as the networked version of the spreadsheet application.
