Excel Spreadsheets

Asked this morning to set up the decision screens in the factories to produce Excel spreadsheet versions of the historical data to help the students "reflect" on how the exercise has gone. (I think "reflect" might be a euphemism for identifying the guilty...). Compared to some of the weird requests I am asked to make, this was a piece of cake. Just used ExcelLibrary (http://code.google.com/p/excellibrary/) to dump database tables into Excel spreadsheet files on the server then put links into the ASP.NET website. The files are enormous, so that should keep the students occupied for an hour or two.
