This project intends to implement a wrapper of the NPOI assembly that allows MS Office files manipulation in LabVIEW (no MS Office installation required). I'm still exploring NPOI interface for capabilities and possibilities; trying different approaches, more like a PoC. In a second time, I'll try to implement a reliable , scalable, maintainable architecture. Feel free to let me know if you're interested in architecture or implementation contribution, I'll be more than happy!
##Whast is NPOI?
NPOI is a .NET version of POI Java Project. It is an open source .NET library to read and write Microsoft Office file formats formats (*.xls/xlsx, *.doc/docx, *.ppt/pptx). You can manually download the repository from GitHub or install from NuGet.
- Download the latest version of the LabVIEW NPOI VI Package from the release page.
- Use VIPM to install it on your LabVIEW version (2017+).
- Download and install the latest version of the LUT package available here.
Below is a simple example to show how to use the LabVIEW NPOI API to interact with Excel or Word document.
See CONTRIBUTING.md.
