没有Excel的Excel功能

Question

Currently we have a system which we paid for that pushes information into Excel through a plugin and only into Excel. This is the way the product was designed. In a spreadsheet you enter a command which then pulls the appropriate data.

I wrote a few lines of code to save the data from excel into a SQL database and then push this information onto a webpage so it can be easily viewed.

The problem with this is that it requires Excel to be open 24/7. Every so often Excel will hiccup causing information to stop updating. This is easily fixed by restarting the Excel spreadsheet, but is tedious.

My question: is there any API which allows me to mimic Excel without having Excel open?

Answer 1

Are you looking for a spreadsheet component that can be embedded in an application. You can find a list here:

Answer 2

经过对此的一些研究，很明显我没有Microsoft提供的Excel API来允许不使用Excel的Excel进行访问。
