My position now requires me to make spreadsheets.
For whatever reason they have, they want to see the results of my tests in a spreadsheet.
I have about 4 or 5 dozen spreadsheets to create, with similarities and differences among each one.
Do we have a group here on CodeProject that is focused on Spreadsheets ?

No, we all just ask our resident Excel expert[^].

I can't get E-mail during the day (company rule / stupid / but needed in this case)
Do we have a chat area ?
Lounge is not (as I understand it) appropriate for the nerd-sorts of questions.
|
|
|
|
|
Or try the Q&A[^] with appropriate tags and your specific problem  there should be nothing more appropriate than that.

Would you like my personal email address?
That way I am reachable w/o compromising either of our positions.

Don't know how we could trade them here. Is there a PM (Private Message) facility here on CodeProject ?

Ummm, I think Bob gives you a link marked Email, at least he does on mine that isn't publicly posted
so if you want to show him yours (ooh err Matron!) it goes privately...

Dammit, you were a bit faster than me

Faster, just tried a bottle of Jolt Cola for lunch for the first time

Click on "Email" at the bottom of Dave's message.

Thanks Marco, just did that.

But "our resident Guru expert" doesn't sound right.

What if I had studied Sikh Holy Men, would that count?

Were you trying to cure them, or just find out what made them unwell in the first place?

Well, as our spreadsheet Guru, perhaps you should start a column?
I didn't plan on creating a row if this is too much of a burden.

Have a look at an open source library called Spreadsheet Light[^].
I have used it to programmatically generate several types of Excel Spreadsheets with great ease using C#.NET.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you, way overkill.
I'm just trying to learn how to click the buttons and type into the cells and stuff.

|
Oh... Well alright then, ask Dalek Dave.

You know that all you have to do is dump the results into a tab-separated file, don't you?
Open a plain-text file, list each set of details (separated with tabs) in a single line, bung a header row at the top, save it as .TSV, open it in Excel, and you've got yourself a spreadsheet.

These two languages now are linked so they get updated at the same time by the same people. Why do I think one is going to reach it's limit of supportable life sooner than the other. If history is a teacher my bet would be C# as Microsoft have made more money from BASIC over the years my guess would be C# dies first, but what of the Java people. Make me recall an interview I went to some years ago "we use J# rather than any other language as it will have support for longer as it is Java based"...

Looking at this[^] inaccurate picture, I draw the conclusion that no conclusion can be drawn just yet.
MS has done some effort to move people from VB to C# though, so I'm not going to bet against C#.
As for J# though, it is deader than a married man's soul.
|

Well that's good, some one thinks the same as me, The J# job I missed a bullet with that one I couldn't get over the arrogance of the "...well it will be supported longer".
