Num Sum
When sharing the Web spreadsheets that you created with this online tool, you will have two basic options to choose from. If you want to make your files visible to anyone, just do not modify anything, as they will be marked public by default. No one but you will be able to edit it if you choose this option. If you want to allow your classmates, co-workers or friends to edit your spreadsheet, you must click on the “share” link to send them email invitations. Note that in order to edit your files, your partners should have an account at Num Sum too.
In case you keep many spreadsheets saved at Num Sum, you will probably want to use its “tag” feature to keep yourself organized. Tags will also be very useful if your Web spreadsheets are publicly viewable and you want to make them easier to find.
This Web application is a good alternative for spreadsheet creators who need a simple online tool and who want to share their documents with either selected groups or the whole Internet.

I don’t see why you wouldn’t just use Excel to do all of this…?
