Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Open Google Sheets, File > Import > Upload the .xlsx. Dropdowns, formulas and formatting carry over. Every formula is Sheets-compatible; there are no macros.

Can I change the currency or tax rules?

Yes. Amounts use a standard currency format you can change in two clicks. Tax applies to materials only, everything, or nothing, chosen in Settings.

Is anything locked or hidden?

No. Every formula is visible and editable. Input cells are marked in yellow so you know what to touch.
