Boost Spreadsheet Data Analysis in .NET Applications

September 5, 2024
EPPlus v7.3.0 adds new functions to enable more complex statistical and mathematical operations, elevating its formula calculation capabilities.

EPPlus is a powerful and versatile .NET library for managing and manipulating Microsoft Excel files using the Office Open XML (OOXML) format. It is a lightweight and efficient library that is easy to use and can be integrated into a wide range of applications. It allows developers to create, read and modify spreadsheets without dependencies on any other library. Features include pivot tables, styling, VBA/Form controls, conditional formatting, charts, tables, formula calculation, data validation, pictures/shapes, and more.

The EPPlus v7.3.0 update introduces four new functions that are supported in formula calculations, enhancing the library's capability for data analysis within Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The GROWTH function enables exponential growth calculations, while DPRODUCT allows the multiplication of values in a field of a list or database based on specified criteria. The DSTDEV and DSTDEVP functions calculate the standard deviation of values in a field within a list or database, but they differ in their scope. DSTDEV is for samples, while DSTDEVP is used for entire populations. These functions allow developers to perform more complex statistical and mathematical operations directly within spreadsheet documents, significantly improving the efficiency of data-driven applications.
