Introduction: Excel Services is a new technology that ships as part of Shared Services and allows you to calculate
and display Excel spreadsheets using MOSS 2007 without necessarily having a copy of Excel on the client machines.
With Excel Services you can simply share a spreadsheet using the browser. Excel Services has a calculation engine
that supports calculating spreadsheets on the server in order to offload resource intensive calculations.

23.1 Step 1 - Create Document Library

First of all, to apply this article you have to create a document library in your MOSS web application.
Before that, you have to create a web application if you haven’t done so yet.

From MOSS central administration you will select Application Management > Create or extend Web
Application, and follow the steps. After you finish creating the web application you can create a
document library as the following.

1. Open your web application in the browser in our case we will use our SSP: SharedServices1:
