Strata-Excel provides Excel bindings to OpenGamma's Strata open source analytics and market risk library.
Strata can be found at https://github.com/OpenGamma/Strata.
Strata-Excel uses Jinx, the Excel Java Add-in.
Jinx can be obtained from https://exceljava.com.
Once Jinx is installed the Strata-Excel JAR file must be added to the jinx.ini config file, along with the OpenGamma Strata library and dependencies.
[JAVA]
classpath =
<path of strata-excel JAR file>
<strata and dependencies>/*.jarPre-built jar files can be downloaded from https://github.com/exceljava/strata-excel/releases if you do not want to build the project.
The source code can be cloned using git from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/exceljava/strata-excel.git
The projects use Apache Maven as the build system. Version 3.5.0 or later is required. Simply run this command to compile and install the source code locally:
mvn install
Note that Strata-Excel is based on Java SE 8. Version 8u40 or later is required to compile the code.
Strata-Excel wraps the Strata types and methods to expose them to Excel.
These wrappers are generated automatically from the Strata source code via the Python script 'tools/generate_jinx_wrappers.py' and package 'tools/gencode'.
In order to add new types and methods to the Strata-Excel wrapper code, update the config files in 'tools/gencode/config' and run 'tools/generate_jinx_wrappers.py. The folder structure of the config directory mirrors the Strata source.
Python 3.6 is required to build the wrappers.
