I supose it is posible to show a spreadsheet, fx. Excel, in Drupal, but which module do I have to use for that purpose??

xls is proprietary and I don't think this is possible.

You could "Save as html" in Excel and copy/paste from that.
Or you could "Save as csv" (comma delimited text files) and write some code to convert it to html tables.
Or something similar saving as XML.
Or you could upload the xls files to a service such as docs.google.com and link to them or display them in an iframe.

In Drupal 5, there is also a nodeimport modules which can upload csv files and map the columns to cck fields, in case your table structure is completely standardized.

I am new user of Drupal...
Thanks...I made that, but in that way I see the whole google site in my iframe, and that is not what I want...is it posible to only see the document in the iframe? Fx by converting the spreadsheet to a pdf file or...?

There are a few people working on OpenOffice.org interfaces, and it's very easy to import Excel into OpenOffice. I wonder whether the Drupal community might be able to nudge Sun into getting us an OpenOffice module? It would be a great WYSIWYG editor as well as a handy tool.
