FormulaEngineer Docker CI Excel Write Demo

FormulaEngineer 3.0.2 generates a styled Excel workbook inside an offline Docker runtime using a read-only CI licence mount.

Overview

This repository demonstrates how to use FormulaEngineer 3.0.2 with .NET 8 and Docker to generate an Excel workbook.

Run with Docker

Set the path to your FormulaEngineer CI licence and run the container:

$env:FORMULAENGINEER_CI_LICENSE_PATH = (
    Resolve-Path "C:\path\to\formulaengineer-ci.lic"
).Path

docker compose run --rm --build formulaengineer-ci

The generated workbook is saved to:

output/customer-success-kpi-dashboard.xlsx

The licence is mounted read-only and is not copied into the Docker image.

Security

Never commit formulaengineer-ci.lic. The licence is supplied to the container through a read-only bind mount.
