Template vs. Application based Approaches
ExcelWriter offers two approaches to generating, processing and manipulating Excel documents: ExcelTemplate and ExcelApplication.
This tutorial will walk you through assigning the contents of a cell using ExcelTemplate and ExcelApplication. |
With ExcelTemplate, we can insert our data into a specially formatted excel file.
