Java developers use SpreadsheetConverter to speed up software development. SpreadsheetConverter converts Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into accelerated and compact Java-programs. It can convert your spreadsheet into a Java class that calculates just as the spreadsheet. Need a website calculator, or an intelligent form, written in Java? No problem. Let a domain expert implement the calculations in Excel and test the calculator for all possible business cases. Then, let SpreadsheetConverter convert the spreadsheet into a complete JSP page with a separate JavaBean. All formulas and calculations have been thoroughly tested by thousands of other users. If the spreadsheet works, your web page works. SpreadsheetConverter produces better quality code at a lower cost. Note: SpreadsheetConverter Java is being phased out, and the information on this page may not be current anymore. Version 4 can be downloaded from our release archive. If you want to build advanced web components from Excel spreadsheets, consider converting to HTML/JavaScript, iPhone/Android, Node.js or ASP.NET instead. products-confounded-man-with-finger-450-172 See examples of what SpreadsheetConverter can do for you. Free offer: Send us a spreadsheet and we’ll send it back as a web page.

It’s so easy, you can do it yourself!

SpreadsheetConverter Java lets you connect your website to internal IT resources behind the firewall. Visualize complex information in attractive charts. Build a calculator that fetches daily interest rates from a database. Collect external data from web forms and store it in a secure database. A time-saving calculator makes your web site stand out from the competition. It’s so easy to put any existing form or calculator on the web: expense reports, surveys, quote generators, order forms, reservation forms, employment applications, financial calculators, engineering tools – the list is endless. We’re not only talking simple add-subtract-multiply-type spreadsheets here, we’re talking

  • all the graphical user interface widgets you could ask for
  • live charts that automatically update when values are changed
  • multi-choice options like dropdown lists and radio buttons
  • step-by-step wizards for complex forms
  • smart table lookup, complex data validation, interactive menus

The free form-to-Inbox service requires no installation, no programming skills and no configuration. Once you upload your first web form to your server, submitted forms start arriving at your Inbox. You are up and running within minutes. For a small monthly fee, we store submitted forms in a database for you until you visit our server to pick them up.

Features and benefits

SpreadsheetConverter is the perfect tool for creating calculating web forms and web pages that attract attention.

  • It’s easy even for non-programmers: SpreadsheetConverter turns your business users’ Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into scalable Java/J2EE applications.
  • The formulas are protected: All calculations are done on the server, so your formulas are totally hidden from the user.
  • It’s so easy to change: Just change the spreadsheet and re-run the conversion to regenerate the Javabean.
  • Everything is live and interacting with your visitors: The calculator or form updates dynamically when values are changed. Even the charts are live! Use calendars to select dates, stars to set ratings and sliders to vary data in real-time. Create forms with dropdown menus, checkboxes, radio buttons, large text fields, list boxes in a breeze. Design step-by-step wizards for complex forms.
  • It looks so good on the web: Normally, it takes a lot of time to make a web page look this well-designed. With Excel you just format the page the way you like. SpreadsheetConverter creates a web page that looks the same: borders, colors, fonts, checkboxes, dropdown lists etc work as they should, and numbers are formatted on the fly with decimals, thousand separators and currency symbols. Play with new layouts inside Excel before you convert them to web format, which saves lots of time (besides being lots of fun).
  • Automatic form-to-Inbox delivery: When users submit completed forms, SpreadsheetConverter delivers them directly to your e-mail Inbox. For a small fee, forms can be saved in a database for later retrieval, thanks to a hosted service that requires no local installation or server.
  • It’s so easy to change: Business rules frequently change, e.g. new prices, new discount options, new regulations etc. With hand-crafted web pages it’s hard to keep up with the frequent changes. With SpreadsheetConverter, you just change the spreadsheet, and regenerate the web page.
  • You get the source code: The Java server code is nicely formatted and completely self-contained. There are no library files or other external requirements.
  • It’s cost-effective: You need the SpreadsheetConverter program only when you perform the actual conversion from spreadsheet to web page format. You need one license for each PC on which you install the program to perform such conversions.

  • There are no errors: The calculator doesn’t need any testing, since thousands of users already have tested our calculation engine.
  • Excel isn’t needed: Once the web page is created, Excel is not required. Your web server doesn’t need Excel, and your users don’t need Excel. Even if Excel is all around, not all employees have it, and private persons seldom have it.
  • It’s free to distribute: With the Professional Edition, you can make the calculator part of a product that you sell.
  • You take no risk: Every purchase comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and six months of free e-mail support.

Make Java and JSP developers more productive

  • Using the product you can create the following three types of output:
    1. A JSP page + Java Bean where all the calculations are done on the server by the Java Bean. [Reformatting on client]
    2. Just a Java Bean, that can be used inside any Java-program.
    3. A self-contained webpage. [Calculation + formatting on client]
  • Good-looking calculating JSP-page from Excel. Separate JavaBeans with full source.
  • The JSP-page with the JavaBeans can be used inside any JSP-enabled web server, for example Tomcat, or J2EE-server like IBM WebSphere, Bea WebLogic or JBoss.
  • Built-in edit-debug-compile-test cycle for Tomcat. Generate and test within one minute.
  • The JavaBeans can be used in any Java-project.
  • All calculations are done on the server, your formulas are totally hidden from the user.
  • Advanced analysis makes generated code very efficient, no unnecessary boxing-unboxing, and all unneeded formulas are ignored.
  • JSP-pages work both on Windows and Unix
  • Covers 165 functions of Excel. Currently all but a few advanced financial and statistical functions are supported.

SpreadsheetConverter delivers the best value

Only SpreadsheetConverter Java/JSP generates full source code. No JAR-files with proprietary software. This makes the generated code easy to extend and maintain.

Only SpreadsheetConverter has royalty-free distribution. No extra per-server fees.

 

Fast, stable and secure

Live, calculating web pages like these are very expensive to develop by hand with all the programming, testing and debugging that takes a lot of time even for a specialist.

By developing your expense report, order form or shipping calculator in Excel, you save a lot of time already at the design stage. Your calculator works and can be tested even before we turn it into a web page for you.

The converter turns the spreadsheet formulas into blocks of standard program code that have been meticulously tested by thousands of users.

The web pages are responsive and adapt to the screen width. On the narrow screen of the tablet, there is only room for two blocks side-by-side.

 

Our selection of flavors

  • Our basic product converts Excel spreadsheets to HTML with embedded JavaScript that can be used with any web server. All calculations are performed in the browser, without any help from the web server.
  • SpreadsheetConverter can also generate HTML5 web apps for iPhone and Android smartphones. These make it easy to collect data with mobile devices, select or configure products or do spreadsheet calculations in a smartphone. Web apps can be delivered through an app store and you can charge for them.
  • Special server products generate program code for Node.js, web servers. Since this flavor keep the formulas on the server and perform all calculations there, your business formulas are hidden from the end user. Running the formulas on the server also makes it much easier to add back-end integration, for example for saving and restoring values to a database. Communication with the server is minimal and the web calculator updates itself quietly in the background while the user is busy entering data into the next cell. Your technical people refer to this technology AJAX.

If you need help, don’t hesitate to contact our Help Desk. We guarantee free of-course-we’ll-get-you-up-and-running support during your free trial and for at least six months after you purchase a license. Expect an answer by the next business day, often within the hour.

We first released SpreadsheetConverter in 2002, and have added more and more value to the product in many releases since then. Our update policy gives you free updates within the same major version, e.g. if you have a version 10 license you get all version 10.x updates for free.

We have three support centers in Europe, America and Asia that provide almost around-the-clock support during workdays. Technically competent support engineers will answer your e-mails and solve your problem. Most of them are programmers or web developers with long experience.

With any error report, we beg you to include the spreadsheet that’s causing you problems. Yes, we know they often contain terribly important information, but we need to recreate your problem in order to solve it, and it may be so difficult unless we have exactly the same data as you have.
