Using excel template based approach to generate excel reports

Hi,
Does any of the Aspose product allows use of template base approach to generate excel reports.
Along with template base approach, we need foll. features also for excel reporting:
Data filter
Paning
Cell background color chnage depending on certain value
remove leading zeros from numbers except for the contact number present in the data at runtime
Adding new column at run time
Summation

Hi,
Thanks for considering Aspose.
Aspose.Cells is spreadsheet management library used to manipulate native excel files (xls, xlsx, xlsm, xltm, csv, txt, tab delimited, spreadsheetml, pdf etc.). Yes, you may manipulate existing excel files (template files), you can also create workbooks from the scratch. I think Aspose.Cells suits your needs very well.
For your queries:

Yes, the component provides this feature, you may exclude or include the leading zeros with the number for your need, try the following sample code:

Workbook excel = new Workbook();
Worksheet worksheet = excel.Worksheets[0];
Cells cells = worksheet.Cells;
//If you want to display the leading zero. Cell is A1
cells[0, 0].PutValue("00032353");
//If you do not want to display the leading zero. Cell is B1
cells[0, 1].PutValue("00032353", true);
excel.Save("f:\\test\\myouttput.xls"); 

Adding new column at run time

Hi,
Also can you please give URL reference of using excel template for generating reports.
Well, you will use Workbook.Open() method to use an existing file (template file), manipulate it (for your need) and then save it / save it as. e.g…,

Workbook excel = new Workbook();
excel.Open("f:\\test\\MyFile.xls");
Worksheet worksheet = excel.Worksheets[0]; 
Cells cells = worksheet.Cells;
