    @hskoglund Hello, I have used your code to read an excel file by using QAxobject and it worked perfect, but in my case, the chart has many merged cells. I need to know the number of rows which a merged cell occupies. What should I do? Thank you so much.

    Qt QAxObject just lets you interact with ActiveX/Excel etc. It does not document what you can do in them. You must read Excel VBA documentation/examples for any questions like this, e.g. start from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/overview/excel/object-model

      If you want to read any excel file then use QSqlDatabase For It

      my personal experience saying that QAxObject take Lot's of time for read any kind of Excel file
      And QAxObject Very complicated Concept

      you can see my code for Read Any Kind Of Excel File

      QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC", "xlsx_connection");
          db.setDatabaseName("DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=" + QString(FilePath) + "");
          if(db.open())
              qDebug() << "Excel Is Connected";
          else
              qDebug() << "Excel Is Not Connected";
      
          QSqlQuery query(db);
          query.prepare("SELECT * FROM [" + QString("Sheet1") + "$]"); // Select range, place A1:B5 after $
          if(query.exec())
          {
              while (query.next())
              {
                         ///// Your Code
              }
          }
      

      for this You must have to Install Mysql Driver For Excel

        If one does it this way, the issue then is where do you find details on what tables/columns/links/operations etc. can you perform?

        I can see one might start by exploring down from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/microsoft/microsoft-excel-driver-programming-considerations . Does that sound right, or do you have a better resource for what/how you can do to Excel across SQL/ODBC?

          Yes i can perform all are the operation like select Particular Columns or etc..

          In My case i am using this Solution And it give me complate solution

          You can see

          @Ketan__Patel__0011 said in QAxObject and Excel:

          query.prepare("SELECT * FROM [" + QString("Sheet1") + "$]"); // Select range, place A1:B5 after $

          Here I am using "Sheet1" As My table and i am fatching All Columns data of My Table
          So You can simply Get the Data from pass columns index like this "Follow My code"

              if(query.exec())
              {
                  while (query.next())
                  {
                      QString column1= query.value(0).toString();
                      QString column2 = query.value(1).toString();
                      QString column3 = query.value(2).toString();
                      QString column4 = query.value(3).toString();
                  }
              }

            Yes indeed, for an example of "select some adjacent columns and fetch their values".

            But have a look at, say, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/microsoft/sqlgetinfo-returned-values-for-excel?view=sql-server-ver15. Or, how do you set up an Excel Pivot table? What about the manipulations available of all the various object types described in the VBA Excel reference? That sort of thing is what I was thinking one needs documentation for.

              I have not work with Some Advanced level.
              So I can't explain much more for it.

              but you can use this concept for read simple excel file and fatch the data from your excel sheet table.

              And I Will Start the work on Excel Pivot table and other Advanced concepts.
              Then i will drop the solution.

                Hi Ketan.
                No need for you to actually find solutions to what I wrote, they are just examples of what a user might want. Your suggestion of using SQL/ODBC instead of ActiveX is interesting. All I was saying is that if the OP wishes to go down that route they might use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/microsoft/microsoft-excel-driver-programming-considerations as a starting point for documentation. That was all.

                  Thank you for your complement

                  I Didn't get the any message from User(newbieQTDev ) so he Actually want Solution for Excel file Reading using ActiveX Then i Will Drop the solution for it.

                  I have both way solution for it But SQL/ODBC Nice And easy way for Excel file reading.

                  And you are Agree with my Concept then Mark My Post As The Correct Answer.

                    Even if he does want only ActiveX, do not drop your SQL/ODBC solution here! It is a very useful alternative way of going about things, depending on what is wanted. Even if it is not right for this user, it is useful to read for others coming to this topic :)

                                      If you want to read any excel file then use QSqlDatabase For It

                                      my personal experience saying that QAxObject take Lot's of time for read any kind of Excel file
                                      And QAxObject Very complicated Concept

                                      you can see my code for Read Any Kind Of Excel File

                                      QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QODBC", "xlsx_connection");
                                          db.setDatabaseName("DRIVER={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=" + QString(FilePath) + "");
                                          if(db.open())
                                              qDebug() << "Excel Is Connected";
                                          else
                                              qDebug() << "Excel Is Not Connected";
                                      
                                          QSqlQuery query(db);
                                          query.prepare("SELECT * FROM [" + QString("Sheet1") + "$]"); // Select range, place A1:B5 after $
                                          if(query.exec())
                                          {
                                              while (query.next())
                                              {
                                                         ///// Your Code
                                              }
                                          }
                                      

                                      for this You must have to Install Mysql Driver For Excel

                                      @Ketan__Patel__0011 I agree with you. AxObject is very slow especially in Save Data.

                                          Is it possible to get the cell's address using SQL/ODBC? I can get the column easily from

                                          QSqlQuery::value
                                          

                                          but how to obtain the row's number?
