Can Aspose help us?

Hello
We have been using Aspose.cells in an Web application for some years.

Our issue is that we want our users to download information from a Web application to a spreadsheet (about 20 columns and for some users up to 1500 rows with different information in each cell with multiple choices) and then yearly this information shall be updated by a responsible user (2000 different external users)

We don't want the user to change cell/spreadsheet format and it's neccesary that it's validation on each cell, because when the information is updated in the spreadsheet
then we want the user to upload all changes to the very same web application.

We are wondering if Aspose have any software (Aspose.cells og other) or other suggestions to help us solve this kind of problem?

Best regards

I think you may try to protect your sheets or workbook or password protect your Excel files according to your needs, see the topics (in the section/sub-section) for your reference:

http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/cellsnet/Encrypting+Files

Moreover, you may use data validation feature to apply your desired validation for the cells accordingly, see the topic for your reference:

Thank you.

Hi

Thank you very much - we will based upon your information start the process to develop an new solution.

Hopefully it's possibel for the user who has filled out the form to make an easy upload to the database, and we also will try to give them the possebility to paste information (different for instance copied from an local excel sheet)) to every cell in an column.

Best regards
