Excel add-in library.

Keith A. Lewis
I thought the Quantlib Excel developers might be interested in
http://xll.codeplex.com. The Excel interface to Quantlib is  quite
sophisticated and already very well developed, but perhaps if all that is
needed is a lightweight one-off wrapper to a couple of Quantlib functions
this might come in handy.

I don't want to solve your problems. I have my own problems to solve.

Hi Keith,

What's the difference between xlw (http://xlw.sourceforge.net/) and yours ?
Any support for excel 2003 ?

connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?

Re: Excel add-in library.

25.7MB - 1.05MB. :-)

Seriously though, xll is the shortest distance between your C++ code and
Excel. The library lets you hook up functions and classes using a couple of
lines of straight C++ code. There is no automatic code generation or C#
bindings or all the other marvelous things xlw does a great job of doing. I
haven’t tested this in a while, but it should work all the way back to Excel
97, when years had only two digits.

This is something I've been developing over the past 10 year for use with my
clients. They live in Excel but they also need platform independent code
that can be integrated into their middle and back office system. I've also
been using it for the past couple of years in the derivative securities
course I teach at NYU. Giving a trader an add-in that solves a problem gets
you a front row seat to where the action is.

Try both and use what works best for you.
