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

• Note QZipWriter and QZipReader which live in gui-private is used in this library. 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 ; if you Qt is built from source by yourself, or download from qt-project.org directly, nothing need to do.

• Note: Perl is needed if you want to build this library as Qt5's module, aka. Usage(1) .

Usage(1): Use Xlsx as Qt5's addon module

• Download the source code.

• Put the source code in any directory you like. At the toplevel directory run

    qmake
    make
    make install

The library, the header files, and others will be installed to your system.

• Add following line to your qmake's project file:

    QT += xlsx

• Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code

    #include "xlsxdocument.h"
    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)

• Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code
