We’re excited to announce the release of DataFlex LibXL Library 2.0.1, compatible with DataFlex 2025 and earlier.

With the DataFlex LibXL Library, you can read, write, and edit Excel spreadsheets directly from your DataFlex applications, all without needing Excel or any other spreadsheet software installed.

What is LibXL and why does it matter?

LibXL is a powerful native library that makes it easy to work with Excel files in your applications. For DataFlex developers, that means you can:

  • Generate reports or export data to Excel in just a few lines of code.
  • Read and process existing spreadsheets to import or update data automatically.
  • Work faster and more securely, since no external dependencies like COM or Office installations are required.
  • It’s a fast, lightweight, and flexible way to integrate Excel functionality directly into your DataFlex solutions. Perfect for automating business workflows and sharing data with users who rely on spreadsheets.

What’s new in version 2.0.1

This release includes the latest LibXL DLL (version 4.6.0) with several bug fixes and a security update. We recommend all existing users to upgrade to ensure optimal performance and security.
