    C Compiler which targets Excel (MS Office)

  • hyperformula

    HyperFormula is an open-source headless spreadsheet for business web apps. It comes with over 400 formulas, CRUD operations, undo-redo, clipboard support, and sorting. Built in TypeScript, supported by the Handsontable Team.

    • There was a time when we used Excel Services in SharePoint to meet some of our business user needs. I wouldn’t use Excel again, but back then it seemed to be a good trade-off between time-to-market and usability (meaning performance for most of the time).

    Anyhow, we use https://github.com/handsontable/hyperformula to run calculations in our other components these days.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • xll

    Excel add-in library

    • This is quite clever, and probably a joke that I'm not getting, but the Excel C SDK lets you call C/C++ from Excel and vice versa. This is one of my bread and butter tools, and I like nice tools, so I wrote a C++ wrapper around the SDK. It also lets you embed C++ objects in Excel: https://github.com/xlladdins/xll
