Hi,
I believe the following could be a great idea:
Imagine a bank showing their interest rates and an example calculation of what one would have to pay given some parameters. It would be so much better for the bank to use Zoho to present this calculation so the users could modify the sheet in any way they wanted. This would enable users to try different scenarios that might be more complicated than the basic calculation.
There are two features that are needed in order to make this easy for the websites:
1. Enable publishing as "calculator". EditGrid(.com) has this feature already and it means that there is a master sheet that cannot be changed by others than the administrator of the sheet. The viewers of the sheet are able to modify their own copy of the sheet to test verious scenarios out.
2. Enable parameters of a sheet like the following:
https://sheet.zoho.com/home.do?param1=100
Then one needs a function in the relevant sheet like the following:
=input_param("param1")
This function would catch the number 100 from the url that was used. In this way the same sheet could be reused with different input parameters. This is relevant for example if a banking customer should be able to play with numbers that are relevant for his/her specific scenario.
