Challenges I ran intoĬommunication between Excel and Word/PowerPoint Easy-to-understand UI design and limited PowerPoint API functionality (required complex server-side OpenXML document manipulation) Accomplishments that I'm proud ofīuilt platform from scratch that individuals and businesses are now starting to count on to significantly improve productivity of a variety of document creation/updating tasks. Uses Office.js on the client side and C#, SQL Server, Azure, and OpenXML on the server side.

Here are a few:Ĭustomer business cases (from an Excel-based ROI/TCO Tool) This add-in can be used in a wide variety of document automation scenarios. It allows extensive user flexibility to create powerful documentation automation solutions (the Office suite), but also allows organizations to control user actions where desired (version control, access security). Office.js provides a great cross-platform solution that solves many of these limitations. I've used VBA, OpenXML, and various web technologies, but they all have significant limitations. I've helped businesses automate the creation of data-intensive documentation from Excel assessments for over 15 years. It is often used for information-intensive applications where Excel is used to capture, consolidate, calculate, analyze, or summarize data. The add-in can significantly improve productivity for scenarios requiring updating of recurring reports and documents that need to be customized/personalized multiple times. Users can update any new or existing Word or PowerPoint document with content from any new or existing Excel workbook. It also makes it easy to link/map the “dynamic” content to be updated. Updatable content includes text, tables, and charts. The Excel-to-Word Document Automation Add-in automates updating of Excel-based content into Word and PowerPoint documents.
