Excel App for the iPad and QI Macros
Downloaded and installed Excel for the iPad. It’s provides basic Excel functionality. As expected, it will handle QI Macros charting templates, but won’t run macros. https://www.qimacros.com/store/?cat=14
To get the full functionality of the QI Macros or to run any Visual Basic addins, you’ll need a Windows 8 tablet running Excel 2010 or Excel 2013.
I tried several Win 8 tablets.
The Surface Pro is fast, but heavy and runs warm because of the I5 processor. I didn’t love the keyboard.
I tried the Samsung, but it had an idiot light that blinked when closed that ate 5% of the battery every day.
I finally ended up with the HP Envy X2. The tablet is about the same weight as an iPad and the keyboard feels good. There’s a battery in both the tablet and keyboard which extends battery life to about 14 hours which is plenty, even for the longest flights.
