Build portals and tools powered by Microsoft Excel
Turn your Excel spreadsheets into custom apps, dashboards, and client portals, without code.
Connect your Excel workbooks.
Add Excel as a data source in your Softr workspace and sign in with your Microsoft account. Then combine Excel with other data sources in one app.
Control who can see your data.
Instead of sharing full workbooks, decide what each user can see. Use permissions to protect sensitive information, so nobody needs access to the whole file.
Design branded, full-stack apps.
Use blocks to build white-labeled portals, trackers, and dashboards. Customize layouts, add buttons, and match your brand, without code or design skills.
Bring Excel data to life
Stop emailing spreadsheets around. Build apps that fit your data and workflows.
Take Excel further with Softr
Permissions & client access
Share workbooks through OneDrive or SharePoint links.
Share secure interfaces that show only the data you choose.
Edit access gives people control over the whole workbook.
Control what each user group can see in the app, down to individual records.
Shared links either open the file to anyone with the link or need a Microsoft sign-in.
Invite clients, partners, or teammates to log in to your app, without a Microsoft account.
User experience & branding
Excel is built for working with numbers, not for client-facing experiences.
Create fully white-labeled portals with your own domain, logo, and layout.
Workbooks have limited styling and look the same for every user.
Use blocks to present Excel data in clean, branded interfaces.
Forms
Microsoft Forms collects responses with simple branching.
Build forms with conditional logic and your branding.
Responses land in one linked workbook.
Send form responses to Excel with Softr Workflows, or store them in another connected data source.
Pricing
Teams that collaborate in Excel usually pay for Microsoft 365 seats.
Your app users don't need Microsoft 365 seats. Excel is available on the Softr Business plan.
Dashboards & reporting
Charts and dashboards only use the data in that workbook.
Build dashboards that combine Excel data with sources like HubSpot or SQL databases.
