by Knowledge Dynamics - Product Type: Component / Add-In / ASP.NET WebForms / .NET Class / 100% Managed Code / COM Add-in for Office 2000 / Java Class

Generate enterprise web applications and executive dashboards from your Excel spreadsheets, including active charting, high-speed calculations, and rich interfaces. KDCalc converts your Excel spreadsheets into client or server applications that run without Excel. KDCalc compiles your Excel cell formulas and data into high-speed calculation engines, and also generates ASP.NET, ASP Classic, JSP, and HTML user interface applications that have the same look and interactivity as your formatted spreadsheets, now including forms controls and live charting! The most common use of KDCalc is to execute Excel spreadsheet models as server applications, free from the scalability and throughput limitations of Excel. KDCalc has built-in features that facilitate failover, load balancing, and XML-based recalculation. Designing, Building, and Testing your complex business applications and dashboards with Excel and KDCalc can be as much as 50 times faster than hand-coding in Java, C#, or VB.NET.

The KDCalc Designer installs right into the Excel toolbar - one click compiles your spreadsheets into complete business applications with high-speed calculations and interactive user interfaces. Choose 100% managed .NET or 100% pure Java for your runtime platform.

The KDCalc Engine is thread safe, lightweight, and far more scalable than Excel. If your application has no user interface or if you develop one by hand, you can use the KDCalc Engine to execute the business logic you've developed in Excel. Simply pass input data into the compiled spreadsheet and retrieve recalculated results through the intuitive API. The KDCalc Engine supports large (>20MB) spreadsheets and massively parallel calculations.

KDCalc turns your business users' Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into highly scalable enterprise applications.

Banks, Insurers, Governments, and Academic Institutions around the world use KDCalc to speed development of all kinds of mission-critical systems. If your company has become reliant on Excel workbooks for business decisioning, but needs to migrate the Excel-based business logic into server side applications for scalability, compliance, auditing, and management reasons, KDCalc will help you go directly from Excel to server applications. Your Business logic is still maintained in Excel and you will preserve your investment in your Excel-based intellectual property. End-users will benefit from having the same look and feel that they are familiar with as KDCalc faithfully transforms the formulas, charts, formatting, data, and UI controls into web applications.

KDCalc can generate complete web applications from your Excel spreadsheets using pre-defined templates for ASP.NET, JSP, and HTML. With any web editor, you can easily customize the application templates to include your own logos, security, authentication, logging, and live data access.

Or you can create your own user interface using any UI technology, including Flash, Director, VB.NET, C#, or Java. An intuitive API allows consistent access to your spreadsheets' business logic and calculations at runtime. Simply call SetCellValue(Row, Col, Value) to put values into data cells, and call GetCellValue(Row, Col) to get results out of formula cells. You can also communicate via named cells with the SetNamedCellValue(Name, Value) and GetNamedCellValue(Name) methods.

KDCalc supports over 200 of Excel's built-in functions. With Excel functions like LOOKUP, OFFSET, IF, SUMPRODUCT, etc, you can create remarkably sophisticated systems in record time. Business users can have seamless visibility into your application's core functionality. KDCalc includes tabbed spreadsheet controls (for both Java and .NET) for instantly integrating a tabbed spreadsheet grid into your applications.

Customers have deployed KDCalc-based applications with over 1,000,000 formula cells.

Download the 'Spreadsheet Programming' white paper to learn how KDCalc can help you create a web service to calculate sales tax globally, or try any of the numerous full-source demos to see how KDCalc can work for you.

input values for multiple cells and
requests for recalculated results from multiple cells, and
