ExcelFromList 1.0.3

ExcelFromList

Straightforward and easy way to create stylized excel workbooks from lists. Add an image, title, subtitles and overal cell styles/formats. This uses the EPPlus engine, you can check them out at: https://github.com/EPPlusSoftware/EPPlus

In the below examples outputFileName is a string identifying a full path file name and shelfLifeData is a list of ShelfLife type objects.

You can run these same examples in the Testing project.

Default styles (no style object provided)

  var wb = new ExcelWorkBook();
  wb.AddSheet("Shelf Life", shelfLifeData);
  wb.SaveAs(outputFileName);

For the rest of the examples a style object has been provided

With title and subtitles

  var wb = new ExcelWorkBook();
  var style = new ExcelStyleConfig
  {
      Title = "Product Shelf Life List",
      Subtitles = new string[]
      {
          "As of 2/1/06",
          "Compiled by the Food Bank",
          "From National Manufactures"
      }
  };

  wb.AddSheet("Shelf Life", shelfLifeData, style);
  wb.SaveAs(outputFileName);

With title, subtitles and image

  var wb = new ExcelWorkBook();
  var style = new ExcelStyleConfig
  {
      Title = "Product Shelf Life List",
      Subtitles = new string[]
      {
          "As of 2/1/06",
          "Compiled by the Food Bank",
          "From National Manufactures"
      },
      Base64Image = "iVBORw..." // string trucated for brevity of example
  };

  wb.AddSheet("Shelf Life", shelfLifeData, style);
  wb.SaveAs(outputFileName);

With title, subtitles, image, two sheets and cell stylings

  var wb = new ExcelWorkBook();
  var sheetOneStyle = new ExcelStyleConfig
  {
      Title = "Product Shelf Life List",
      Subtitles = new string[]
      {
          "As of 2/1/06",
          "Compiled by the Food Bank",
          "From National Manufactures"
      },
      Base64Image = "iVBORw..." // string trucated for brevity of example
  };
  var sheetTwoStyle = new ExcelStyleConfig
  {
      Title = "Food Nutrient Information",
      Subtitles = new string[]
      {
          "List of EDNP products",
          "Audited by category"
      },
      Base64Image = "iVBORw..." // string trucated for brevity of example
      ShowGridLines = false,
      BorderAround = true,
      Border = true,
      BorderColor = Color.CadetBlue,
      HeaderBackgroundColor = Color.Yellow,
      HeaderFontColor = Color.Black
  };

  wb.AddSheet("Shelf Life", shelfLifeData, sheetOneStyle);
  wb.AddSheet("Food Nutrients", foodInfoData, sheetTwoStyle);
  wb.SaveAs(outputFileName);
