Hi Richard, You could do either. If you want to take an existing QuantLib function and export it to Excel, you could make a pull request to QuantLibXL (the link I gave you). If you are adding new functionality to QuantLib then you would need to make a pull request to QuantLib in addition. All of this is unrelated to the "new" and "old" builds of QuantLibXL. The new build is on hold, the link that I gave you is the repo for the old build.
