Real-World Use Cases: Financial Reports & Dashboards
Financial Reports:
- Generate monthly or quarterly summaries on demand
- Add formulas for totals and averages
- Apply formatting—bold headers, currency, conditional styles
Dashboards:
- Build multi-sheet workbooks with charts, KPIs, and pivot tables
- Automate data pulls from APIs or databases
- Visualize metrics with embedded charts
Example: Add a Formula and Format Output
sheet.Cells["A4"].Value = "Total";
sheet.Cells["B4"].Formula = "=SUM(B2:B3)";
sheet.Rows[0].Style.Font.Bold = true;
sheet.Columns[1].Style.NumberFormat = "$#,##0";
You get clean, maintainable code—and spreadsheets that look professional.
