Hi Dhiraj. In general no.
There's the freeware Excel viewer from Microsoft. There's also OpenOffice.org and using filters other spreadsheet systems might also open Excel files. If macros are used it's preferable to have Excel. Maybe the Excel viewer ignores them. You should test this explicitly. In case of problems it's harder to distinguish which system causes it.
