Try TAdvStringGrid from www.tmssoftware.com I find it absolutely indespensible...and for the price, its hard to find anything matching.

We would like to thank you Bruno for giving us fantastic support.
Because of TMS components our ETL software is not only useful but also beautiful.

Another vote for Flexcel here, since the rewritten and updated Flexcel came out a year or two ago, I only use that. Mostly I use it to read XLS and XLSX files, which it does much faster and more flexibly than Excel automation, in my experience. If you also need to write XLS and XLSX files (which I do occasionally) Flexcel has the most amazing utility named 'ApiMate'. You can design your output report in Excel, including only a minimum of actual data, but with all the detailed formatting, headings, and column, row and cell properties you need. Then point ApiMate at the Excel file, and it generates a Delphi program to write the entire XLS file using the Flexcel API, with all the attributes matching those you created in Excel itself. It is then the work of a few moments to adapt the ApiMate-created functions to handle your real data. Magic! Flexcel support is prompt and helpful, too.

I work with Delphi since the first version, and searching for components is a hard work (I think you know). I've tested tons of components, even the "best-sellers", in my eyes, there are two things importants to look for a component: the "look" (for visual components of course), and the most important:
It need to be easy to understand, to programming, and to find information when it is needed (help/manual/demos)
In all of these points your job is really good! Congratulations for you and your team.

Hi Bruno
Just want to drop you a line about how great your presentation was today.
We often fail to point out to someone when they do a great job!
You did a great job, you gave me a lot of ideas, and you answered my question very well.
THANK you for your great products & super support.
