macro excels on IPAD

Is there any application for opening/viewing Excel documents which are macro enabled in IPADs?

iPad 2, iOS 10

No, MS macros cannot run under iOS.

See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Why-can-t-I-open-my-Excel-file-2daa6bd6 -8db5-4521-9f37-7e23b3e4bdab

It it looks like with recent Excel for iOS you should at least be able to open and edit a macro-enabled file but the macros won't run. Things like macro templates and so forth cannot even be opened. I have not tried this yet in Excel for iOS though and I think the changes in that link are fairly new. Excel is free in the App Store.
