Yes, that's an improvement on my suggestion. I was thinking that with the PDF approach you'd get to skip opening Excel, but this gets you that as well, with no need to refresh a file.

If you are syncing with a mobile device, printing to PDF and embedding the file would get you the ability to review the data remotely, but you then need to update the file when the underlying spreadsheet changes. Avoid embedding too many attachments in your database to keep the size under control.
