run an Excel macro on Tungsten E

My first Palm unit. Trying to download Excel spreadsheet with a macro. How do I run the macro on the Palm Tungsten E?

That may be a question for the Documents To Go support people as the Palm OS does not provide any support for Excel files, that ability is provided by Documents To Go. DTG may not have support for macros.

I believe there are two types of macros, one where the keystrokes are remembered and one where an actual program is written using Visual Basic for Applications.

All macros Excel are VBA. When recording keystrokes, the software converts the effect of each keystroke to VBA commands. When creating macros, I often start by recodeing keystrokes and then edit the VBA code for fine-tuning.

Setting up an extract area in the spreadsheet (criteria, data, and copy to areas). I want to enter criteria, and the run the macro to extract and copy results to the "copy to area". Easy in Excel, but I am not familiar with Palm unit
