Another vote for Flexcel here, since the rewritten and updated Flexcel came out a year or two ago, I only use that. Mostly I use it to read XLS and XLSX files, which it does much faster and more flexibly than Excel automation, in my experience. If you also need to write XLS and XLSX files (which I do occasionally) Flexcel has the most amazing utility named 'ApiMate'. You can design your output report in Excel, including only a minimum of actual data, but with all the detailed formatting, headings, and column, row and cell properties you need. Then point ApiMate at the Excel file, and it generates a Delphi program to write the entire XLS file using the Flexcel API, with all the attributes matching those you created in Excel itself. It is then the work of a few moments to adapt the ApiMate-created functions to handle your real data. Magic! Flexcel support is prompt and helpful, too.

Having bought the full component package (TMS VCL Subscription) I cannot imagine how I've been able to work without it until today ! The TAdvGrid was our first requirement but all the other components give a great improvement to the tools we develop for our labs.
But the most incredible one remains the Scripter Studio . We've been maintaining our own scripter for years, but this one is really THE one we've been looking for. With Diagram Studio,it opens windows on possibilities that were unthinkable to realize up to now.
I couldn't finish this testimonial without saying a word on the support: the greatest. Answers in the day, when it is not in the hour.

Thank you for developing components where I can best describe it like this:
TMS components is a case where
"The wheels fit the car, and NOT the car fit the wheels".
Well done.
