Tips and considerations
- Make sure the file is not too large to send via email. If it is, consider using a file-sharing service or compressing the file.
- Use a secure email client or file-sharing service to protect your file from unauthorized access.
- Consider converting the file to a PDF if you want to ensure that the recipient can view it without needing to have Excel installed.
- If you need to send a large number of files or collaborate with multiple people, consider using a cloud-based collaboration tool.
