Use GoExcel without Excel Application

Hello,

 

is it possible to use iLogic GoExcel functionalities without using the Excel Application in the Background? I've got some Problems with Inventor 2020 and Excel 2019. The Performance is really bad in this scenario and without Excel on a Client or Excel 2016, it's much faster and don't throw errors.

 

Thank you!

Best regards, Mike Schmitz.

Thank you for your Support. The solution was to set the UseLibXL environment variable to true. No Full Excel will be use for GoExcel.
