Aspose.Excel Vs. Aspose.Cells

Hi All,

I work for a support project and the project used Aspose.Excel, now, as Aspose.Excel is not available, I need to go for Aspose.Cells.

The client has requested us to provide the additional features that Aspose.Cells provides compared to Aspose.Excel. I request you to kindly let me know.

Thanks,
Sushant.

Hi Amjad,

Thanks. The link provided by you mentions the modifications required in the code to use Aspose.Cells instead of Aspose.Excel.

However, my question was what additional features are provided in Aspose.Cells compared to Aspose.Excel i.e. why should I purchase Aspose.Cells instead of Aspose.Excel?

Thanks,
Sushant

The component is more reliable and enhanced related performance to work in the most diverse environments. Some of the accomplished and advanced features are available now (which may not be supported in the older Aspose.Excel):

e.g.., support for MS Excel 2007 features (.xlsx and .xlsm formats), conditional formattings, enhanced customized formattings related cells, grouping/ungrouping cells, creating List feature, enhanced validations (all types supported), data sorting, enhanced smart marker features (e.g.., subtotaling and grouping by data attributes supported now), enhanced auto-filtering features with all types of customization, enhanced named and cell range style manipulation, manipulation of the charts in the designer file, manipulating comments with customized and rich formattings, enhanced and advanced protection options, worksheet background setting, enhanced formula calculation engine which supports a long list of formulas now, enhanced searching cells options, support/manipulation of many drawing objects and controls, enhanced pivot tables support, new importing and exporting options to and from many .NET objects, managing advanced document properties, adding pictures to header and footers, moving and copying worksheets and many more.
