Excel apps are available for many different devices. Each app offers a consistent experience to help you be productive. However, each one serves a slightly different purpose, depending on which device you're using.
For desktop computers
The Excel desktop applications are the fully installed versions of Excel. Download, install, or reinstall Microsoft 365 or Office 2024 on a PC or Mac. If you think you already have the app, find the application on your Windows PC. If you're using a Mac, find the app and add it to the dock.
For tablets and phones
You can use Excel on almost any mobile device, like a small tablet or a phone. The apps are touch-friendly and optimized for smaller screens. They have many, but not all, of the features of the desktop applications. They're best for light, on-the-go editing. Set up instructions for mobile devices are available here.
On the web
Excel for the web provides quick access to your OneDrive or SharePoint files in almost any web browser, no matter which device you're using. It has many, but not all, of the features of the desktop applications. However, you can always edit files in the Excel desktop app if it's installed. To access your OneDrive files by using Excel for the web, go to Excel Online. To access your SharePoint files, go to your organization's SharePoint site and upload a workbook.
