Title: Read xls files without excel
Post by: henrin on April 10, 2010, 10:07:30 AM

For processing data coming from a measurement system, I had to process big XLS files (> 50 MB).
Here is a DLL to do this.

Features:

- do not need EXCEL or other compatible spreadsheet software
- file types supported: BIFF8
- corresponding EXCEL versions:
. Microsoft Excel 97 (XL8),
. Microsoft Excel 2000 (XL9),
. Microsoft Excel 2002 (XL10),
. Microsoft Excel 2003 (XL11),
. Microsoft Excel 2007 (XL12)
- character set: standard ANSI
- sheets: data only
- formulas: result only
- numbers with full precision

Here you can find how to use and download xlsread.dll http://perso.numericable.fr/hserindat/xlsread/ (http://perso.numericable.fr/hserindat/xlsread/).
