Excel Reports

Excel Reports is a helpful .NET component designed to enable developers to enhance their applications by integrating spreadsheet generation capabilities. Once implemented, the utility is capable of creating XLSX reports without needing Microsoft Excel to be installed on the host machine.

The library relies on .NET Framework, so the latter needs to be installed on your system for Excel Reports to function correctly. The downloadable package includes assemblies for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4,5.1, 4.5.2 and 4.6.

Excel Reports makes it possible to transform CSV strings, files and streams into Excel spreadsheets using a single line of code, and worksheets can be created from data tables and lists of class objects.

You can create your own templates and then perform a search and replace operation to insert new values, as well as save the results to a new file.

Excel Reports offers intelligent cell format defaults, and you can override the default column layout with Excel or .NET formatting. Columns are also resized automatically based on the largest item.

The software is written entirely in C#, and several useful code examples are provided in the included documentation to help you get up to speed. Detailed instructions are also given to help you get to grips with the supported functions and deploy the component.

A demo application is available in the downloadable package that shows you how the tool can be of assistance you once it is implemented, as it allows you to generate Excel reports using a custom data set.
