I have an excel spreadsheet that contains some formulas to calculate ROI for an upcoming product of a client. Is it possible to convert this into a php script whereby a user would type into some boxes and then submit it working out the same. The excel spreadsheet is here: http://www.solidcamxpress.co.uk/roi.xls

There is a software in the market which can convert the spreadsheet to active html/php with ease. You can get the software at the following url:

Even you can also convert the spreadsheet by yourself as it is simple to convert with scripts. but you can also this software for the conversion =)

You can use PHPExcel to read an existing spreadsheet and extract its data/formulas, but converting those formulas from Excel syntax to PHP is rather non-trivial.
Unless you're doing a generalized Excel->PHP converter, the time/effort required to write such a converter will be far greater than it would take you do analyze the one spreadsheet by hand and code up some PHP stuff to recreate it.

Sure, PHP can do math just like Excel's formulas. However, there is no magic method of converting Excel to a Web page, if that's what you're asking.
