As some of you may know I have been working on developing Version 3 of my FastExcel product for more years than I care to remember.
First there was the VB6 blind alley, then 64-bit and multi-threaded calculation and that ribbon thing, then I detoured into learning C++ and XLLs, then there was the inevitable scope creep, (and my consulting customers kept asking me to do things, and then there was the sailing) … you get the picture.

Anyway I finally pushed the release button on June 4 2014. Yippee!!!

The initial reaction has been great (no doubt helped by the introductory offer of 50% off).

So what is FastExcel V3?

There are 3 major products in the FastExcel V3 family, targeted at different types of use scenarios.
