Documentation: http://qtxlsx.debao.me QtXlsx is a library that can read and write Excel files. It doesn't require Microsoft Excel and can be used in any platform that Qt5 supported. The library can be used to * Generate a new .xlsx file from scratch * Extract data from an existing .xlsx file * Edit an existing .xlsx file ## Getting Started > * For linux user, if your Qt is installed through package manager tools such "apt-get", make sure that you have installed the Qt5 develop package *qtbase5-private-dev* ### Usage(1): Use Xlsx as Qt5's addon module #### Building the module > **Note**: Perl is needed in this step. * Download the source code. * Put the source code in any directory you like * Go to top directory of the project in a terminal and run ``` qmake make make install ``` The library, the header files, and others will be installed to your system. > ```make html_docs``` can be used to generate documentations of the library, and ```make check``` can be used to run unit tests of the library. #### Using the module * Add following line to your qmake's project file: ``` QT += xlsx ``` * Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code ```cpp #include int main() { QXlsx::Document xlsx; xlsx.write("A1", "Hello Qt!"); xlsx.saveAs("Test.xlsx"); return 0; } ``` ### Usage(2): Use source code directly The package contains a **qtxlsx.pri** file that allows you to integrate the component into applications that use qmake for the build step. * Download the source code. * Put the source code in any directory you like. For example, 3rdparty: ``` |-- project.pro |-- .... |-- 3rdparty\ | |-- qtxlsx\ | | ``` * Add following line to your qmake project file: ``` include(3rdparty/qtxlsx/src/xlsx/qtxlsx.pri) ``` > **Note**: If you like, you can copy all files from *src/xlsx* to your application's source path. Then add following line to your project file: > ``` include(qtxlsx.pri) ``` > **Note**: If you do not use qmake, you need to define the following macro manually > ``` XLSX_NO_LIB ``` * Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code ```cpp #include "xlsxdocument.h" int main() { QXlsx::Document xlsx; xlsx.write("A1", "Hello Qt!"); xlsx.saveAs("Test.xlsx"); return 0; } ``` ## References * http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm * http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail?csnumber=51463 * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee908652%28v=office.12%29.aspx * http://www.datypic.com/sc/ooxml/ ### General * https://github.com/jmcnamara/XlsxWriter * http://openpyxl.readthedocs.org * http://officeopenxml.com/anatomyofOOXML-xlsx.php * http://www.libxl.com * http://closedxml.codeplex.com/ * http://epplus.codeplex.com/ * http://excelpackage.codeplex.com/ * http://spreadsheetlight.com/ ### Number formats * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff529356%28v=office.12%29.aspx * http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/excel-custom-number-formats.htm * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/894805/excel-number-format-what-is-409 * http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/create-a-custom-number-format-HP010342372.aspx ### Formula * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff533995%28v=office.12%29.aspx * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd906358%28v=office.12%29.aspx * http://homepages.ecs.vuw.ac.nz/~elvis/db/Excel.shtml * http://ewbi.blogs.com/develops/2004/12/excel_formula_p.html
