Formula One/NET

Thank you for taking the time to evaluate Formula One/NET. This page will show you several examples of how you can use embedded spreadsheets with a browser.

If your page displays "broken images" rather than spreadsheets, the Plugin is not installed correctly.See our Troubleshooting Page.

Empty Workbook

Behind each of the follow examples is a full featured spreadsheet. You can enter data or formulas into cells, resize columns and rows, even save the spreadsheet to disk. To access the advanced features of Formula One/NET, right mouseclick in the worksheet window and select the Workbook Designer.

Below is sample workbook. Click in the workbook window to activate in-place editing.

Interactive Table with Embedded URLs

Quite often the content you want to send to a client requires collecting information from the client first via a form. Rather than scripting a cgi and supporting several or many hits to a server for client changes, why not give the client a model that they can interact with?

The following example demonstrates how a spreadsheet, with embedded formulas, can be used in this fashion. Although it may look like a table, by clicking in the "Amount to Invest" field and entering a value you can extrapolate (using historical data) how much an investment could be worth in any of the following mutual funds.

Formula One/NET also supports embedded buttons connected to URLs. So in this example, simply click a fund name and you are transferred to the corresponding page on Fidelity Investments Web site.

Interactive Form

In many applications you want to provide a form-like interface for user interaction with some data. Unfortunately, you don't the client to come back to the server for each different iteration of selections.

This example shows how a loan agency could publish their daily rates and provide value add to a potential customer. This agency could close more loans by showing a customer what their payment would be based upon an interest rate and term.


Interactive Table & Form

Here is a combination of both an Interactive form and a calculating table. One of the hardest parts of any "do-it-yourself" project is a list of materials. This form with accompanying spreadsheet allows the user to configure how he would like to finish the room and the bill of materials calculates quantities and prices. Want to check how much it would cost to finish the room, that is also calculated for you.
