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.

It's now very easy to build a report with the new Flexcel + Aurelius integration. It was so easy that I really thought I was doing something wrong. I will never go back to a report generator, Flexcel is way cooler and easier for reports.

We would like to thank you Bruno for giving us fantastic support.
Because of TMS components our ETL software is not only useful but also beautiful.

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.

We have been using TMS Software in Traffic Travis since the very first version. We purchased the Component Pack and found them to be of an extremely high standard, heavily relying on the TAdvStringGrid, TAdvGlowButton and TAdvOfficePageControl components in our software. Not only are the components great but the help that is given is top notch, from the PDF documentation and demo applications to email support - Bruno and the team are exceptionally helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending the component pack to any Delphi Developer.
