Update :

Version 1.0.0.1
Optimized whole code, added redim step var.

Hi,
I had to create Excel files for my needs, but I wondered how to do it because xlsx files are not raw editable; so I searched for a way do it.

Excel can open multiple files type, and the XML is a good way to do it so here it is.

It creates an Excel XML file, with which you will be able to :
-Create Rows
-Create Cells and set it's color
-Set column width
-Set global text horizontal align
-Set XML author
-Set XML creation date
-Set XML compagny

And of course you can easily add features.

Here is an example :

#include "Excel_XML.au3"

$iRow = _ExcelXML_Row_Add()

_ExcelXML_Column_SetWidth(1, 100)
_ExcelXML_Cell_Add($iRow, "Row 1, Cell 1")

_ExcelXML_Column_SetWidth(2, 200)
_ExcelXML_Cell_Add($iRow, "Column width set to 200px")

$iRow = _ExcelXML_Row_Add()
$iCell = _ExcelXML_Cell_Add($iRow, "Cell color red")
_ExcelXML_Cell_SetColor($iCell, 0xFF0000)

_ExcelXML_Cell_Add($iRow, "Excel XML UDF")

$hFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\Excel_XML test.xml", 2)
FileWrite($hFile, _ExcelXML_Assemble())
FileClose($hFile)

_ExcelXML_Destroy()

And what you are waiting for : Excel_XML.au3
(Previous : 53 downloads)

Enjoy !

oh, I did not know this one.

Since his does more than mine, I don't see how it can be possible to combine them. Furthermore I make my projects by myself and this UDF must remain simple.

Br, FireFox.

Awesome, I just realized, recently, all the ways to read/write excel without the app...I think that there could be some major improvements using object microsoft.xmldom...I'll look into this later, but great example.

I'm having some namespace issues...where new cells and rows, when you load a file, include empty namespaces, causing excel to not display their data...outside of that, the basics are there
