Upon suggestion this question has been amended to the following;

Does anyone here know about Baan as a system and if so how compatible (if at all) is it with Excel from a developer's point of view? I need to pull reports from Baan to populate Excel workbooks and be able to take certain portions of data into other workbooks without bringing in the whole code and sifting through it.

Answer 1

This is really 3 independent questions:

1. How do I parse a BaaN report in C#? (You may have some trouble with this, unfortunately.)

2. How do I read an Excel file in C#?

3. How do I generate an Excel file in C#?

Answer 2

if you are looking the pull data from data source into excel that is just tabulate format. so what you need to learn is excel inter-op with C# and that is very simple i can provide you some of samples. as like.

and if you are looking to pull complex data and matrix values from the Data Source then i suggest you to read about the EXCEL DNA its an open source having power to play around the Excel widely.
