 * I have an excel file with a number of calculations in it. I want users of my 
   website to be able to use those calculations by inputting their own data but 
   I do not want them to know what the formula is (as it has taken a very long time
   to develop and will be ripped off immediately). I know that I can embed the file
   with MS Web App. I was thinking that it would be good if users could only input
   their figures on the interactive spreadsheet on the website but that the only
   way they could save it is as a pdf without the formulas. The ultimate target 
   for me is that users will only have to come back to my site each time they want
   to do the calculation rather than be able to do it on their own desktop with 
   my formula :(.
 * Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can achieve my goal here?
 * Many thanks

 * If you let users have access to an Excel spreadsheet somehow, they’ll be able
   to download it, and then they can probably get the formulas out of it.
 * If you want to do this the right way, the best thing that you can do is to create
   a PHP function/functions that will do the same calculation/calculations and use
   those on your site. That will keep everything server-side and guard your formulas.
