On your PC, try installing a PDF creator. Then "print" the spreadsheet to a PDF file(s). Then move that PDF file(s) to the tablet (assuming the table can read PDF files.
I use PDF Creator, but there are other free ones out there as well. http://www.pdfforge.org/ These type of programs actually create a new "printer". When you route any printouts to that "PDF printer", you will be prompted for a file name and location and, instead of physically printing, it creates a PDF file at the location specified. (Side note about PDF Creator: You will first get a dialogue box that pops up that you can pretty much ignore. There is a SAVE button on that box. Click SAVE and you will get a "more normal" "save as" dialogue box where you can "walk" to the location where you want it saved and actually key in the file name you want it saved as.)
