$10 will get you Numbers, Apple's equivalent of Excel.

Stay tuned for more (free) solutions from other members.

The word is that MS is going to bring office to iOS early this year. In the meantime, you can go with Kevin's solution or try CloudOn or Onlive desktop.

Rumors also suggest that unless you are an Office 365 subscriber the MS apps will be view only. Also that they will not offer anything close to the feature set you get on the desktop version. From the descriptions I'm getting it may not be a whole lot better than Google Docs; other than hopefully have near perfect Office file compatibility. Which I admit is pretty key for many people.

But rumors are that, and I'm sure you need a solution now.

I'm pretty happy with Numbers myself; but if you decide you don't like the look of it here are a few of the other popular solutions. I don't use any of these, and it's been a while since I've read a review or comparison on them; so research, research, research.

Since iPad was born 3 years ago,many accessories,like keyboard cases,were born for iPad. E.G. Logitech iPad Keyboard and Clamcase iPad Keyboard Case are both pretty cool,yet not nood enough and way too expensive. The latest Sharksucker Keyboard Case for JSXL Technology is a great alternative with high quality and good price. can help for further assistance.
