This is awesome! Thank you very much for creating this. Exactly what I needed without having to dive into all the XML.

I tried for a full week to get openXML to work. When I did get it to work it was extremly slow. Not sure what I was doing wrong.. This library saved me. GREAT Job.

I am very impressed with this project, creating an API is always brilliant, this is a great project. Thanks for sharing this with us, much appreciated

Amazing Library.. A MUST have for any .NET developer.

Any chance of the docs above being placed into a DOCX or PDF file for simple downloading/printing ?

How can I print the document programmatically.

Wanted to mention that this is a great resource! I was up and running with exactly what I wanted to do in mere minutes. Many nice methods included which make it super intuitive for a beginner such as me. Thank you very much!

Amazing piece of work. This project looks very promising. Highly recommended for those who want to avoid the complexities of messing around with OpenXML SDK.

After bashing my head against the OpenXML API for way too long, I stumbled on this gem. GREAT API! Very clean, easy to code against. Very clear and concise. I really appreciate you took the time to make this and make it available under a permissive license. Great stuff!

ClosedXML allows VBA people to write OpemXML applications without learning OpenXML. I think ClosedXML has tremendous potential. I tried real scenario and it works. Parsed 1200 page text report from mainframe and put each page (cost centre) into separate worksheet. Takes about 10 seconds for the lot. If user would want only few outlets it is very fast.

Great name, fantastic product! This is how I was imagining OpenXML in Visual Studio. Amazing productivity in coding OpenXML. Thanks for the vision and determination.
