Summary

A simplified version of Excel operation using Microsoft's OpenXML, specifically used for LabVIEW applications which only requires a small set of Excel functionalities to generate some data.

  1. set value to a specified cell, only 4 kinds of data, string, bool, number and date.
  2. create fill info usually with foreground RGB color and background indexed color
  3. create font info
  4. create cell format with specified fill info and font info, also with horizental alignment
  5. set cell format into some cells
  6. best fit the cell's column width

That's all, LabVIEW applications usually require only above functionalities, no need to delete fill, font or cell format.

This library uses OpenDocument DLL, very fast and efficient, higher performance than using Excel Interop.
