Jexcel has been renamed to Jspreadsheet.

Jspreadsheet CE Use Cases

Jspreadsheet CE is an extensible framework for building sophisticated data-oriented interfaces with Excel-like controls. By bringing familiar spreadsheet features to your application, you can drastically reduce development time while delivering an interface that users already know how to use, leading to faster adoption and increased productivity. You can use Jspreadsheet in many different applications, such as:

  • An editable data grid-based interface to simplify inventory management and production planning in a manufacturing company's ERP system.
  • At an educational institution, Jspreadsheet powers grade management systems where teachers can efficiently import and modify student data.
  • A logistics company uses Jspreadsheet to create dynamic delivery route planning tables with real-time updates.
  • In a research laboratory, scientists use Jspreadsheet to collect and analyze experimental data with custom validation rules.
  • At a retail chain, managers use Spreadsheet-based tools to coordinate staff schedules across multiple locations.
