EASA completely eliminates this issue, as direct access by end users to the actual spreadsheet is eliminated. With EASA, the spreadsheet is rendered as a browser based application (much like a website page), which is connected to an instance of Excel running on a secure server. With a web app, you can control exactly which parts of the spreadsheet are visible, what data can be changed, and which users within your organization can view or use the app.
Unlike other approaches that require translating Excel spreadsheets into another format, EASA runs the original spreadsheet on a secure sever. This means included VBA and macros that perform calculations will continue to operate as is. It also means you don’t have to scrap your valuable spreadsheets to replace them with expensive new custom coded solutions, or manually rebuild the logic into a new software tool.
