Aspose.Cells Recensioni

We are designing system which would allow you to automate your business flows. To process all that information we need to be able to process documents of different types. When we looked at Aspose components, the first thing I noticed was its well-built API. It's intuitive, clear and well documented. Also, it is amazing at reading 'edge-case' documents (i.e. documents with some specific version of format or non-trivial documents). It allows you to process many different file formats, including images, Visio diagrams, Outlook mail, OneNote, GIS files, and - except for a few cases - performance is very fast. The components are self-sufficient, requiring no other external dependencies, and they do indeed parse the document according to format specification. I'd recommend Aspose as one of the best components for documents processing

We were very disappointed when new upgrades of Microsoft Office now meant that one must debug, or rewrite implemented macros in Excel. We needed a way to work with Excel spreadsheets but to avoid using VB. Luckily for us, I encountered the trial version for Aspose.Cells for Java. We used the trial version to clean data from multiple *.csv files, accrue them into one file, sort them, perform statistics on the data and show the stepwise cumulative results over multiple worksheets in one Excel workbook (spreadsheet). Our next plan is to use visuals in our spreadsheets and Aspose.Cells for Java has this ability. Overall, we are pleased with the following features:

1. Fidelity: Aspose has been able to convert all the *.csv files into *.xls or *.xlsx from the same code base in chosen fonts. Formulas were accurately executed and sorting at 3 levels were precise just like in Excel.
2. Speed: Aspose has been able to work with multiple files (our goal is 1500+ files) for repetitive cleaning, accruing, sorting and data analysis in seconds versus extensive time processing the data manually. We didn’t do a comparison with our Excel macros currently due to compatibility and other issues with the new MS Office implementation.
3. Reliability: Aspose has been able to reliably work with all our datasets to produce results in a consistent and verifiable manner.

Bottomline, Aspose.Cells for Java works very well for us. Great job Aspose!

Aspose Cells for .NET converting HTML to native Excel

Our Cloud Business Software suite Exact Online includes functionality to export overview pages to Microsoft Excel. Exact Online is used by nearly 300.000 companies in seven countries: Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain. An example of the exportation of overview pages can be that a customer wants to export his invoice history to Microsoft Excel.

The way we solved this in the past was by exporting the HTML of that overview page directly to Microsoft Excel. Something that was supported by Microsoft Excel at the time we created this functionality. Over the past years Microsoft made several improvements to Excel and the technology that we used became legacy Excel functionality. Therefore, we decided to take a new approach and also wanted to support the latest XSLX format for our customers.

With Aspose Cells for .NET we have the opportunity to keep functionality in place as known by our users, which is important as we don’t want to interfere with the way our customers use the software too much. Thanks to Aspose we have been able to create a truly native Microsoft Excel export of our overview pages, without going through too much effort. Obviously, changes to a business critical application will always trigger questions from customers, but this way we have been able to contain that concern.

During our trial period we had several contact moments with Aspose in order to better understand the component and the best way to integrate it. Their support and sales department are very quick in responding. Often even within minutes. This was of great value to us as we could almost instantly continue with our development process.

Wow, we bought our 2nd Aspose product - Cells for .NET and it worked great for us. We are using it as part of a very complex reporting system for our clients. It allows us to automate the creation of a very large set of spreadsheets that then tie to a 100+ slide PPT file that is published on our client's website. It saved us weeks of development! Great product and now we're looking at purchasing a 3rd of their products. Great job!
