Host an Excel template and share it as a link
Put an .xltx template online at its own address so a team always starts from the current version.
Drop your Excel template here
Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Free to use. Your XLTX file is live at your-name.99helpers.site in about ten seconds.
What is a .xltx file?
XLTX is the modern Excel template format. Opening one creates a new workbook based on it rather than editing the template, which is what keeps the master intact.
What people use XLTX files for
- Budget and forecast templates
- Expense claim and timesheet forms
- Reporting formats used across a team
- Data collection sheets
What opens a XLTX file
- Microsoft Excel
- LibreOffice Calc
- Google Sheets, with some formatting loss
How to host a XLTX file
- 1
Drop your XLTX file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: budget-template.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The file downloads, and opening it creates a new workbook from the template.
Why host a XLTX file instead of emailing it?
Spreadsheet templates suffer badly from copy drift. One address holding the current version fixes that with no extra software.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Protect the cells that shouldn't be edited before publishing.
- Republish to the same address when the template changes.
- Remove any sample data that isn't meant to be shared.
XLTX hosting questions
- What's the difference between XLTX and XLSX?
- Opening an XLTX creates a new workbook based on it; an XLSX is a workbook you edit directly.
- How do I keep a team on the current template?
- Host it at one address and share the link. Republish when it changes and everyone following the link gets the current version.
- Will it display in the browser?
- No, it downloads.
