Hi all,

Now I have no programing experience, I know very little about this, so please bear in mind.

I am trying to turn a particular excel spreadsheet I have made (the user inputs information and it creates a final answer(result)) and I want to be able to turn this simply into an application. So it is a seperate peice of software to excel.

Can anyone suggest how I can do this?

Thanks

Considering you have no programming expericence, any advice we give you would go for waste as you would have having no clue as to how to realize the idea. Learn a programming language of your choice. Maybe then you would be in a position to actually achieve something.

Yes, please try to keep it clean. Bad news, but for your information, its not possible. You could write a program to automate excel, or use VBA to write a GUI for it, but the person running it would require excel on theier pc.

Visual Basic?

you could do something like (for example to work out a simple bill)

 
Dim HoursWorked as Integer
Dim PayPerHour as Integer
Dim CalloutFee as Integer
Dim Total as Integer
 
CalloutFee = InputBox("What was the callout fee")
 
PayPerHour  = InputBox("Enter Pay Per Hour")
 
HoursWorked = InputBox("Enter Hours Worked")
 
Total = (PayPerHour * HoursWorked) + CalloutFee
 
Msgbox("Total cost is: $ " & Total & " for the work")

Believe it or not, Visual Basic has a learning curve. And it's made all the more evident when the programmer is impatient or gets angry at people who try to help him/her.

You could use visual web developer and ASP.NET ?
