Document Solutions for Excel API empowers your .NET applications with advanced data analysis through built-in Excel functions.

Document Solutions for Excel, .NET Edition (DsExcel, previously GcExcel) is a high-speed, small-footprint, server-side spreadsheet API that requires no dependencies on Excel. With full .NET support, you can generate, load, modify, and convert spreadsheets in .NET, .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono, and Xamarin. Apps using the spreadsheet API can be deployed to cloud, Windows, Mac, or Linux. Its powerful calculation engine and breadth of features means you'll never have to compromise design or requirements. The interface-based API is modeled on Microsoft Excel's document object model which means you can import, calculate, query, generate, and export any spreadsheet scenario.
