| Ok just tried the add-in in Excel 2007, some comments: 1) Everything's really slow. Installation's very, very slow and not responsive and the add-in seems to add considerably to Excel start up time. 2) No ribbon, just three buttons on Add-Ins tab, it looks a bit unprofessional. 3) It doesn't really work - when I click on "Show sheet" it sends the browser to some local file slate.html in temp directory, which seems to have just: Need Help? + - Double click to show full tree again. There are no formulae on this sheet to display Contact support@slateforexcel.com for support queries or feedback. Loading... Where's the stuff I saw in the video? Was that Mac-only? 4) I'd look into using Excel-DNA/NetOffice instead of VSTO, which requires a runtime. That makes it easier for business units to subscribe directly without going through the IT and the whole procurement process, etc. |
At the moment, we are using the browser to render Slate view so that we could use available web technologies to draw the tree.
Good point about Excel-DNA: we will take a look at this.
We have had some compatibility issues with Excel 2007. Perhaps we could take this to email? I am fraser@useslate.com
