Excel and CF, Options and Techniques

This presentation will take us through the various methods of interacting with Excel spreadsheets through ColdFusion.  Using the example of importing a large, multi-sheet data collection spreadsheet, we will look at the various methods for getting the data into the system and explore the advantages and limitations of each method.  On the export side, we will explore various methods with an eye towards flexiblity in formatting and embedding formulas.  This presentation will look at methods that work in CF7/8 as well as investigating the new cfspreadsheet tag that is coming in CF9.
