There has been the C++ project BasicExcel for quite some years now. It is very useful to read and write Excel sheets in .xls format. However, it contains only very basic functionality. There are missing features like text formatting using fonts, and display formats and formulas are not yet supported. This article covers this additional functionality. The new, derived project ExcelFormat is based on the old BasicExcel code, and just adds what I was missing for my own needs. If you want to see where I am using the new library, you can look at the Export functions of Service Manager and Uninstall Manager.
