you can have a look at QAxObject
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qaxbase.html
It allows you to remote control Excel. (via automation)
Not sure you can get to be inside your widget.

QAxObject *excel;
excel = new QAxObject("Excel.Application", this);
excel->setProperty("Visible", 1);

Also read about automation here.
