Exporting to Excel with Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Fim.Spreadsheets.* classes

• It is possible to use these .NET components in batch on the server side
• Execution is way faster than that of the SysExcel* classes

• It looks like it is not possible to create more columns than there are letters in the English alphabet
• Less flexible comparing to standard SysExcel classes, so manual formatting will likely be needed in the end.
