THE PROBLEM

Why I Built SheetXL

For years, I kept ending up in the same frustrating role:
full-time data-grid maintainer.
I was stuck in the Data Grid Trap.

Data-grid components

A Rigid Column List
Easily Embed but lacks cell-level flexibility.

Spreadsheet apps

A Walled Garden
True spreadsheet power but closed to integration.

My teams needed to solve business problems, yet we spent our time on endless rewrites of spreadsheet features.

...so I built SheetXL. To give you both power and embeddability.
