Migrate Excel package to PhpSpreadsheet

Open ilianiv opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hello guys! Are you going to migrate the Excel package to PhpSpreadsheet because PHPExcel is deprecated and not maintained?

PHPExcel last version, 1.8.1, was released in 2015. The project is no longer maintained and should not be used anymore.

Greetings,

Hi!

I know you must be very busy but, is there any update on this?

Hi Victor, nothing yet but it is on the plan. Currently PHPExcel still does a good job to read and write Excel file. Changing to PHPSpreadSheet, we will keep the interface of Excel package so virtually you will not recognize the difference. I will keep you update.

Hi all,

We have successfully moved the Excel package from using PHPExcel library to the newer PhpSpreadsheet one. It will be published in the next release of KoolReport Pro. Thanks for all your valuable feedback!
