Introduction

xlsx is a library to simplify reading and writing the XML format used by recent version of Microsoft Excel in Go programs.

Current status

Before using this library please read this: https://github.com/tealeg/xlsx/discussions/663

Different versions of this project

Prior to v1.0.0

You don’t want these versions ;-)

It’s hard to remember exactly, but work on this library started within a month of the first public announcement of Go, now more than a decade ago. It was essentially a quick hack to get data out of XLSX files at my workplace. Nobody but me relied on it, so it was fine to use this brand new language for this task. Somewhat later I decided to share the code, and I know it was well established as an open-source project by the time I left that job in late 2011.

Although I did do some “release” tags, versioning in Go in the early days relied on tagging your code with the name of the Go release (i.e. go1.2) and then `go get` would fetch that tag, if it existed, and if not, it’d grab the master branch.

Version 1.x.x

Version 1.0.0 was tagged in 2017 to support vendoring tools.

As of October 8th, 2019, I’ve branched off v1.x.x maintenance work from master. The master branch now tracks v2.x.x.

If you have existing code, can live with the issues in the 1.x.x codebase, and don’t want to update your code to use a later version, then you can stick to these releases. I mostly won’t be touching this code, but if something really important comes up, let me know.

Version 2.x.x

Version 2.0.0 introduced breaking changes in the API.

The scope of these changes included the way `Col` elements and `DataValidation` works, as these aspects have been built around incorrect models of the underlying XLSX format.

See the https://github.com/tealeg/xlsx/milestone/5 for details.

Version 2.0.1 was tagged purely because 2.0.0 wasn’t handled correctly with regards to how go modules work. It isn’t possible to use 2.0.0 from a Go Modules based project.

Version 3.x.x

Version 3.0.0 introduces some more breaking changes in the API. All methods that can return an `xlsx.File` struct now accept zero, one or many `xlsx.FileOption` functions as their final arguments. These can be used to modify the behaviour of the resultant struct - in particular they replace the `…WithRowLimit` variants of those methods with the result of calling `xlsx.RowLimit` and they add the ability to define a custom backing store for the spreadsheet data to be held in whilst processing.

StreamFileBuilder has been dropped from this version of the library as it has become difficult to maintain.

Full API docs

The full API docs can be viewed using go’s built in documentation tool, or online at godoc.org.

Contributing

We’re extremely happy to review pull requests. Please be patient, maintaining XLSX doesn’t pay anyone’s salary (to my knowledge).

  • XLSX files produced by this library need repair by Excel.

    XLSX files produced by this library need repair by Excel.

    Excel 2013 is prone to give this warning: "We found a problem with some content in [generated file name.xlsx. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can ?" But nothing appears to be broken - the generated data had made its way into the file.

    I suspect this issue is due to the incomplete style information exported currently.

  • Proposal: add method for reading structs from rows

    Proposal: add method for reading structs from rows

    Problem

    Reading structs from a row which has a well-known structure is a bit repetitive, because you will have to iter over the cells, check for the desired type to be obtained, checking for errors and filling the struct.

    Current approach

    If you want to read a whole file (or a single sheet) and convert it to a slice of structs, you have to take any of these two paths:

    • Use FileToSlice iter over the slices and handle the type-casting for yourself
    • Iter over the Sheets of the file, then over the rows and filling the structs by yourself

    Proposal

    Currently we have a method in *Row to Write a struct , so maybe we can define a symmetric method like (*Row).ReadStruct(interface{}) error that receives a struct pointer to be filled.

    To know the relation column <-> field we can use struct tags that defines the index of the cell to be dumped in the field, like so:

    type structTest struct {
    	IntVal     int     `xlsx:"0"`
    	StringVal  string  `xlsx:"1"`
    	FloatVal   float64 `xlsx:"2"`
    	IgnoredVal int     `xlsx:"-"`
    	BoolVal    bool    `xlsx:"4"`
    }
    

    I'm wondering if would be better to use a name for the column, but I sincerely don't know how this would work.

    I have a very simple implementation of the proposal using the tags in a forked repo:

  • Interrupting a program without saving a file corrupts it / no close function

    Interrupting a program without saving a file corrupts it / no close function

    This is not the issue by itself, the issue is that I HAVE to call Save() to properly close a file while I could be willing to discard it upon program interruption, for example with defer file.Close(). We need a proper function on the File struct to close it without saving.

  • Upgrade CodeSee workflow to version 2

    Upgrade CodeSee workflow to version 2

    CodeSee is a code visibility platform.

    This change updates the CodeSee workflow file to the latest version for security, maintenance, and support improvements (see changelog below).

    That workflow file:

    • runs CodeSee's code analysis on every PR push and merge
    • uploads that analysis to CodeSee.
    • It does not transmit your code.

    The code analysis is used to generate maps and insights about this codebase.

    CodeSee workflow changelog:

    • Improved security: Updates permission to be read-only.
    • Improved future maintenance: Replaces the body of the workflow with a single github action: codesee-action. This makes it significantly easier for CodeSee to introduce future improvements and fixes without requiring another PR like this.
    • Improved Python support: The action now properly supports Python 3.11, and will continue to support new Python versions as they are released.

    Security protection is recommended for functions OpenReaderAt and OpenFile.

    The functions OpenReaderAt and OpenFile are added to prevent bomb attack (limiting the total number of files). The restrictions on the number of sheets, size of a single file, and size of the total file are added to prevent security attacks caused by opening files with high compression ratios.

    v3: got empty string in some cells with content

    I got a strange xlsx file from one of my clients. Content of some cells in this file cannot be accessed correctly. Instead, empty strings were returned.

    However, v1 works corretly on this file. You can remove comments to see the difference.

    Here's my testing code.

    Issues resolved in this release - see v3.2.1 milestone :

    • Empty cells are filled by the first column name - v3.2.0 #594
    • High memory usage while creating a xlsx file and xlsx.UseDiskVCellStore not working #596
    • Fixes internal links #620
    • Combine cells in the same sheet and set the droplist. Excel is damaged #610

  • v3.0.0(Apr 27, 2020)

    Summary

    Version 3.0.0 of the xlsx library fixes a significant number of issues, but breaks backwards compatibility in order to do so. For a full list of changes see the milestone.

    DiskV backend

    You can now optionally pass the UseDiskVCellStore operation to all methods that open, or create an xlsx.File. Selecting this option will result in much lower memory usage when handling large sheets, but will run slightly slower than the default in-memory cell store backend.

    Streaming support removed

    If you were previously using the StreamFileBuilder you should use V2 of this library of earlier.

    Sheet.ForEachRow and Row.ForEachCell accept options.

    You can indicate that you'd like to SkipEmptyRows or SkipEmptyCells.

  • v2.0.1(Nov 14, 2019)

  • v2.0.0(Nov 2, 2019)

    This release breaks an important, but bad, assumption that there should be a 1-to-1 mapping between the cells in a sheet and the column definitions. This model simplified the development of the original library a little, but it defeats the purpose of the col definitions (to apply stylistic information over ranges of columns).

    Numerous other fixes have been included. For a full list of changes look here: https://github.com/tealeg/xlsx/milestone/5?closed=1
