How to Embed Office Web Apps in WordPress:
You can’t embed an Office Web App on a WordPress.com blog, but you can embed it in WordPress by adding the <code> embed info </code> in the HTML editor of a post.
When it comes to embedding Excel files, you can choose to embed the whole file, a sheet or just a graph giving you a good deal of control. Another cool thing is that, unlike uploading a copy for your reader to download, the embedded version will stay up to date with any changes you make.
