QtXlsx is a library that can write Excel files. It doesn't require Microsoft Excel and can be used in any platform that Qt5 supported.

Getting Started

Usage(1): 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

    #include "xlsxdocument.h"
    int main()
    {
        QXlsx::Document xlsx;
        xlsx.write("A1", "Hello Qt!");
        xlsx.saveAs("Test.xlsx");
        return 0;
    }

Usage(2): Use Xlsx as Qt5's addon module

Note: Perl is needed.

• 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 the feature file will be installed to your system.

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

    QT += xlsx

• Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code
