    So the reason it was not working was that you did not have excel installed ?

    Yes, this problem is very strange. You must install Microsoft Excel, but you can't install other Excel software

      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 ?

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

          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

                    What Excel component? What "referenced independently"?

                    If you want to use ActiveX/Automation you need Excel on the target machine. You can't give your end users/distribute Excel, they need to install it themselves.

                      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.

                        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>
