Creating Excel (XLS) from Delphi


const

CXlsBof[4] := BuildNumber;
XlsStream.WriteBuffer(CXlsBof, SizeOf(CXlsBof));
end;

Great!

This is what I am looking for. I'll try this one.

Thanks!

Due to unicode support in Delphi 2009 the XlsWriteCellLabel function should use AnsiString instead of String.
Otherwise the document becomes corrupt an all kinds of chars start to appear in the cells.

Other than that, perfect piece of code that came in handy! :)

Tolle Proceduren vielen dank dafür.
ist genau das was ich gesucht habe.
sehr schnell und gut.

This is what i'm looking for so long. I move the constants to initialized variables and it works great.
Many Thanks for the post.

If you want to use it in unicode just add L := Length(AValue)*SizeOf(Char); in XlsWriteCellLabel procedure
