I remember MexicanCustard suggesting a API for dealing with excel a couple of times so I did a search and dug it which was ClosedXml (https://closedxml.codeplex.com/) and glad he did because I probably would of used OpenXml but this API is easy, quick and useful.
Thanks again MexicanCustard a very useful library.

That one is not free. The two mentioned above do not cost anything and have most features that I will need.

Yeah, with Syncfusion going the free route I'm going to try their version. I'm also going to try switching from iTextSharp to Syncfusion's PDF version too.

I'm about to put together a project which has a fair bit of Excel stuff so I've been looking into this, so far Epplus looks like the front-runner. As much as I'd like to try the Syncfusion tool I really like having the source code for the library available so I can see what it is doing and fix and issues I find (and submit them back, of course). Epplus also supports Linq, which is nice.
If you're using Epplus, http://www.paragon-inc.com/resources/blogs-posts/easy_excel_interaction_pt8 has a couple of interesting gotchyas. There other posts in that series are pretty good too.
I'll let you know how I go...
