Creating 'xls' file
-
I want to create xls file. I am using this code:-
Void MainWindow::test(){QFile file("hello.xls");
if (file.open(QFile::WriteOnly|QFile::Truncate))
{
QTextStream stream(&file);
stream << "ID" << "\t" << "Date<< "\t" <<"SOFTWARE-Version"<< "\t"<<"UserName";
file.close();
}
}So it is creating file hello.xls but if I open this file then Excel is giving this error:
Excel has detected that 'hello.xls' is a SYLK file, but cannot load it. Either the file has error or it is not a SYLK file format. .....
What is correct way to make excel file with ',xls' format?
Thanks for help

Hi
XLS is a binary format and its complex to generate.this
stream << "ID" << "\t" << "Date<< "\t" <<"SOFTWARE-Version"<< "\t"<<"UserName";makes a CSV file
excel like tabs so it should just work.You cannot just change the file name to .XLS that can never work.

Do you want to create only xls file, not xlsx?
If you interesting to create xlsx files , just use very nice library QtXlsxWriter.
