I've done things that are almost identical to what Neil suggests, and I've also done a lot of work on calling Haskell code from Excel via the Excel4 (XLL) API, but not so much work on calling COM from Haskell. It's all doable, but it's a lot of work. And the code I've written is proprietary, I'm afraid. -- Lennart On Apr 23, 2007, at 08:07 , Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

All,
I'm interested in automating Excel using Haskell. I'm writing a little program for my wife and it'd be nice to fill out an Excel spreadsheet for her (with formatting so I don't think CSV will cut it). A bit of Googling didn't turn up anything interesting.
Has any work been done on using Excel (or more generally, COM) from Haskell?
Thanks for any pointers!
Justin
p.s. I'm aware of the article "Spreadsheet for Functional Programmers" article and Neil Mitchell's post about HsExcel - but those go the wrong way :(
