LENEXA, Kansas, December 2 /PRNewswire/ --

Today, SpreadsheetGear LLC, a privately held software publisher,
announced that Microsoft has added a number of Excel based calculators to the
MSN Money Web site with SpreadsheetGear's Excel compatible spreadsheet
technology.

Using SpreadsheetGear for .NET, the MSN Money development staff was able
to create a number of Banking, Savings, Debt Management, Family & College
Finance and Retirement & Estate Planning calculators that will help MSN Money
users save time and money. The MSN Money development team uses
SpreadsheetGear for .NET in their ASP.NET web pages to load Excel based
models, plug in values and calculate the results which are then returned to
the browser and available to the site's users. Thanks to the use of features
like user defined names, these Excel models can be changed in Excel and
deployed with no changes to the underlying ASP.NET code.

"We are pleased to be renewing our contract again this year with
SpreadsheetGear," said Chris Donohue, Program Manager of MSN Money. "After
carefully evaluating Excel Services, SpreadsheetGear, and other 3rd party
options, we ultimately chose SpreadsheetGear for .NET because it is the best
fit for MSN Money."

"We are excited that MSN Money has chosen SpreadsheetGear for .NET to
deploy their Microsoft Excel based calculators," said Joe Erickson, Founder
and CEO, SpreadsheetGear LLC. "Many of the largest companies in the world
rely on SpreadsheetGear for scalable Excel Reporting, dynamic dashboards from
Excel charts and ranges, powerful Windows Forms spreadsheet controls,
comprehensive Excel compatible charting, the fastest and most complete Excel
compatible calculations and more."
