Hello,

has somebody used libxlsxwriter with U++? https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter

I am having problem with zlib that is mandatory for this library.
We have different plugin/z. I tried several but I got always complain from compiler.
Which is the U++ package equivalent of zlib ?

Thanks,
Luigi

Hi Luigi

I don't know about libxlsxwriter but if you want you can try XLNT in UppHub.

Hi Koldo,

XLNT is even better. I was not aware of it.
Thanks!

I can compile it and do basics things.
It is very hard (for me) to format a cell defining the border.
The library is non longer mantained by his author and now is mantained
by a community https://github.com/xlnt-community/xlnt

Thank you Luigi for the information.

Please confirm if you want to save an xlsx file indicating the borders of each cell.

Best regards

Hello,

today i compiled on linux the same app that worked under Windows and I got this error


/home/luigi/Documenti/upp/.config/u++/theide/UppHub/Xlnt/Xln t/Xlnt.cpp (4): In file included from /home/luigi/Documenti/upp/.config/u++/theide/UppHub/Xlnt/Xln t/Xlnt.cpp:4:
/home/luigi/Documenti/upp/.config/u++/theide/UppHub/Xlnt/Xln t/Xlnt.h (13): error: unknown type name 'Grid'
/home/luigi/Documenti/upp/.config/u++/theide/UppHub/Xlnt/Xln t/Xlnt.cpp (20): error: unknown type name 'Grid'


the error comes from:

#include <plugin/Xlnt/include/xlnt/xlnt.hpp>
#include <Functions4U/Functions4U.h>

namespace Upp {

String GetCell(int col, int row);

void XlsxFill(xlnt::worksheet &ws, const Grid &g, bool removeEmpty);
	
}


any idea?
Thanks,
Luigi

I checked it and It works fine on my linux setups.

Probably the problem is installed version of Functions4U. Grid class is added to the package in Jan 26, 2024.
Did you update that to its latest version?


Best regards,
Oblivion

Thanks Oblivion,
