Product Background / Overview
INSIGHT® is a real-time productivity tool designed to optimize the customer’s JD Edwards or Oracle eBusinessSuite system for improved business performance. Operations such as real-time reporting, data reconciliation, integrity management and entire process optimization are achieved quickly and easily with this powerful, end-user tool. For example, INSIGHT’s General Ledger module helps users produce their key financial reports and provide continual real-time access to answer all their important financial questions. Accountants are able to close the month-end quicker and business managers are able to gain greater financial insight.
An important feature is the ability to be able to take numbers displayed in the Insight product and allow them to be displayed in Microsoft Excel. This is where Aspose.Cells for .NET comes in.
Requirements Scenario
The worksheet generation engine needed to be able to:
- Handle many thousands of rows of data and do so very quickly.
- Accurately reflect the cell formatting set up in INSIGHT®.
- Output many reports to a single Excel Workbook.
- Support Excel 2003 & Excel 2007.
Solution Implementation
From a user perspective, we simply use an Export button on the product ribbon. When it is clicked the content is recreated as an xls or xslx file and then opened for viewing in Excel. From a coding perspective, Aspose.Cells for .NET follows the Microsoft Excel object model very closely, so porting the code of our previous solution to use Aspose.Cells was straight forward.
Benefits
The most obvious benefit was a huge boost in performance. Aspose.Cells can generate very large xls files extremely quickly and using a fairly small memory footprint. In a product that can provide many thousands of rows of data, this is vitally important.
Conclusion
The Aspose.Cells for .NET product is extremely fast, reliable, operates in a fairly small memory footprint and from observation seems bug-free – generating large and complex workbooks with consummate ease.
The implementation process was straightforward using the sensibly laid out API.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aspose.Cells for .NET to users who require a very high-quality Excel generation solution.
