QAxBase::setControl: requested control Excel.Application could not be instantiatedThis is the error message which matters. It indicates
Excel.Applicationcould not be instantiated.You can Google for
QAxBase::setControl: requested control Excel.Application could not be instantiatedto see others reporting similar. One suggestion is:The control requested in QAxBase::setControl() is not installed on this system, or is not accessible for the current user.
The control might require administrator rights, or a license key. If the control is licensed, pass the license key to QAxBase::setControl as documented.
Your issue seems to be reported in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67901747/qaxwidget-is-in-use-and-an-error-occurs-when-reading-excel-in-qt-creator, I don't know whether you are the author of that question.
One small thought is: how do you create/what kind of Qt application?
You might try finding and passing the desired GUID/CLSID in place of
Excel.Application, just in case.I believe PowerShell allows you to do Automation? I would try that, or something similar, to verify you can connect successfully from a non-Qt application on the failing machine.

The problem has been found. However, it cannot be initialized without software installed, which is more limited -
@mrjj
Yes, this problem is very strange. You must install Microsoft Excel, but you can't install other Excel software -
@duncan98
Well its clear it needs Excel.
But what do you mean by
"l, but you can't install other Excel software"You mean rest of the office or what other software ?

@mrjj
I mean you can't initialize it with any other Excel processor installed.
Can you take a look at this for me? Thank you

@duncan98
So you mean with another version of Excel installed, the same code no longer works? -

To use ActiveX of course you have to have the target application installed! It would help if you had mentioned this, the problem has nothing to do with Windows 7 vs Windows 10 and would have shown up if you had tried communicating with it from any other non-Qt application, as I suggested you do.

Can this Excel component be referenced independently? I want to package it into the installer -

The "Excel component" is called Microsoft Excel. I am sure that Microsoft will allow you to bundle a copy of Microsoft Excel inside your application if you send them enough legal paperwork and money ;)
There are other ways to generate a file that Microsoft Excel, or another spreadsheet program, can open. These range from writing simple CSV files to OpenDocument or Office Open format XML. There are also some third-party libraries that can generate these formats (or subsets) or the older XLS. What will work for you depends on the end goal.

In debugging, I found the same code that workbooks created in windows10 but not in windows7
@duncan98
At the frist make sure that your office excel is activated then use
CoInitialize(nullptr);
befire taking export.
this function can find in #include <objbase.h>
