Excel API

[Clive]

Hi,

I have an ASP.NET app that does some calculations.

I want to use the built in functions i n Excel e.g Price
etc and other various financial functions rather than
write them.

So all I want to do is use teh Excel API / Object Library
in .NET.

Do I need Excel installed on my web server to do this, as
I won't be using the Excel Application. I just want to
use the API?

In terms of performance, would this pose an issue with
loads of users accessing my site?

Thanks,
Clive.

Yes, Excel must be installed.

Yes it probably would, compared to if you would write the functions
yourself in managed code.
