Excel look

I am trying to build an excel type look and feel onto a new custom object.  What I would like it to look like during an edit on the edit page is...

but then when I click save I would like it to look like this...

Is this possible.  If so how would I set this up.

You would use Visualforce to do this.

How would I create it in visual force. I need to have an edit button but then make the cells read only.

I would recommend that you start with Trailhead and the Developer documentation to start down how to write and understand Visualforce.  The forums are not meant to provide you complete code for your requirements, but we will absolutely help you if you try it first.

The images that you see on the post. I built using visualforce from scratch.

Sam,  I think the safest thing to do would be to build two visualforce pages (edit and detail) to override the standard edit/detail pages on the custom object.  Your delta column could just be formulaic so you don't need to worry about inputs for those.

I believe that is how I have it set up right now I a formula. The only part that Im not for sure of is how to specify if the visualforce page is an end versus a detail page.
