Get the Version Number of the Application that Created the Excel Document with C++

Often you need to know the version number of the application that created a Microsoft Excel document. Aspose.Cells provides the Workbook.GetVersion() property for this purpose.

The following sample code demonstrates the use of the Workbook.GetVersion() property. It loads Excel files created with Microsoft Excel 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2013 and prints the version number of the application that created these Excel documents.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Create a workbook reference
    Workbook workbook;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2003 XLS file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2003.xls");
    std::cout << "Excel 2003 XLS Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2007 XLS file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2007.xls");
    std::cout << "Excel 2007 XLS Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2010 XLS file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2010.xls");
    std::cout << "Excel 2010 XLS Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2013 XLS file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2013.xls");
    std::cout << "Excel 2013 XLS Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2007 XLSX file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2007.xlsx");
    std::cout << "Excel 2007 XLSX Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2010 XLSX file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2010.xlsx");
    std::cout << "Excel 2010 XLSX Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    // Print the version number of Excel 2013 XLSX file
    workbook = Workbook(srcDir + u"Excel2013.xlsx");
    std::cout << "Excel 2013 XLSX Version: " << workbook.GetBuiltInDocumentProperties().GetVersion().ToUtf8() << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
    return 0;
