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.

Best regards
Iñaki

Hi Koldo,

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

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
