Why not just use VBA?

  Well, I have an Excel version of this: [1] When I order a part, I have to enter all of this data. Most of the parts I order are repeat orders; I have all of my previous ones on file. I have a program right now that makes a LaTeX document for another form I have to fill out; I put in the NSN, and it populates the form with all of the rest of the information. Up until now, I'd thought that I wouldn't be able to do the same thing with an Excel spreadsheet, and I haven't been able to build a table like that in LaTeX. So, this extension to Python seems to be the best option.

    so, you're willing to pay USD $500.00 just for that?

      Damn it, I thought it was freeware. That throws a monkey wrench in there...

        Look into xlrd3/xlwt3. They're free and platform independent, not as smooth interfacing as DataNitro though.

      sincere question - what do you value your time at?

  because there's a better, more powerful tool, which is also easier to use
