I embedded an Excel file into a WordPress page via OneDrive, but I can’t edit the cells on smaller screen devices. A PC with a mouse or touchscreen works fine. A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 also works, though it requires multiple taps / double-taps to select the cell (shows white circle anchors at the NW/SE corners), change to a cursor mode, and then open the Android keyboard. But with a Galaxy S4 or S6 phone it's extremely difficult getting past the white circle anchors stage. It sometimes works after 50-100 random taps/double-taps for no obvious reason – not a viable user experience. Zooming in to the target cell doesn’t seem to help. Rotating to the wider landscape orientation maybe helps a little. Symptom occurs on both Chrome and Samsung default browsers.


An example is here: EmbdExcelTest - Texas Power Guide

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to Embed an interactive spreadsheet into a webpage? (Excel was embedded per these instructions: https://support.office.com/en-us/ar...OneDrive-804e1845-5662-487e-9b38-f96307144081)

Thanks in advance for any help! P.S.: Longtime fan/user of MrExcel.com. I asked this on answers.microsoft.com with no response yet, so now I'm turning to the big guns. :)
