@NogDogJan 21.2019 — #You could simply get a Google G Suite business account, and you're basically good to go, outside of setting up user accounts. https://gsuite.google.com/pricing.html @NogDogJan 21.2019 — #@KevinRoach#1600244
Google Sheets and other Google Docs allow you to provide different levels of access (from read-only to full editing access) to other users. But if that does not work for you and you want a more custom solution, I'd personally probably take a database-driven approach -- initially populated by saving the spreadsheet as a CSV and then loading that into the DB. You may be able to find some ready-made solutions, perhaps as a feature/plug-in for a CMS, or a stand-alone web app. It all depends on how much customization you want/need, your ability to write/adapt the code on both the server and client sides, etc. First thing a quick google search I tried found:https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/spreadsheet/ 
@cootheadJan 22.2019 — #Hi there KevinRoach,
can you supply a link to the _Excel_ file
so that we can experiment with it?
_coothead_@cootheadJan 22.2019 — #Hi there KevinRoach,
why can' t you upload it to your webpage
which is hosted for multiple users ? ?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, then. I was thinking you wanted multiple users to be able to edit it, which means the data needs to persist somewhere on the server. Whether that's in a DB or a file...*shrug*.
Excel To A Webpage
I have an excel file we use for keeping track of technicians and they want to use it for more than one location, which means it needs to goto a webpage and hosted for multiple users. What would be the best way to do this?
