Despite the Excel Viewer being free, there’s obviously a few things it cannot do.
Such as:
Such as:
- You can’t edit data within the spreadsheet
- You can’t save changes to a workbook
- You can’t create a new workbook either
Sometimes, you don’t even need Excel Viewer…
With Microsoft’s recent introduction of Windows OneDrive, viewing Excel files has become even easier.
OneDrive includes a so-called “Excel Web App”. As the name indicates, this web app works online and makes you able to view Excel files directly from your browser.
If you access the file through OneDrive, you’re able to even edit the Excel file (depends on what privileges you’ve been given by the person who shared the file with you).

IMPORTANT: Excel Viewer also works on newer systems
I downloaded the Excel Viewer running Windows 10 (and Windows 8) and it worked perfectly.
Further, I opened an Excel file created in Excel 2016 and that went smooth as well.
So even though Windows 7 is the latest official supported version, later versions of Windows will run the Excel Viewer fine too.
