Hi all,

 

I am not an IT expert but only a financial one.

I want to use the QuantlibXL library but it seems that the approach it quite close to Numerix (object oriented) so not transparent at all for a first-time user.

I was wondering if you have a kind of “Qucik start guide” or a complete manual/refernce to find my way around.

As the library seems to be very interesting, I would appreciate some help/recommandations to be quickly productive with this tool.

 

Thanks for your help.

Yes, you're not alone.  For anyone accustomed to a procedural interface such
as that of Excel, QuantLibXL's object-oriented design takes some getting used
to.

Quick start guide, no.  Reference manual, kind of.  The best places to start are:

- Example workbooks YieldCurveBootstrapping.xls and
  InterestRateDerivatives.xls

- The online docs:

    http://quantlib.org/quantlibxl/functional.html

I know the existing documentation and examples are not enough and I would love
to improve them but it's hard to find the time.  Thanks for your interest in
the project, good luck and don't hesitate to get back in touch if you need
more help.

Regards,
Eric
