XSLX

Introduction

xlsx is a library to simplify reading the XML format used by recent version of Microsoft Excel in Go programs.

Some, minimal, writing of XLSX files is now planned, but not yet completed.

Usage

Here is a minimal example usage that will dump all cell data in a given XLSX file. A more complete example of this kind of functionality is contained in the XLSX2CSV program:

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/tealeg/xlsx"
)

func main() {
    excelFileName := "/home/tealeg/foo.xlsx"
    xlFile, error := xlsx.OpenFile(excelFileName)
    if error != nil {
        ...
    }
    for _, sheet := range xlFile.Sheets {
        for _, row := range sheet.Rows {
            for _, cell := range row.Cells {
                fmt.Printf("%s\n", cell.String())
            }
        }
    }
}

Some additional information is available from the cell (for example, style information). For more details see the godoc output for this package.
