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