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.

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.
