  5. Run “cmake –build example/build”

Creating the Hello World Application

The steps below creates the Hello World application using the Aspose.Cells API:

  1. Create an instance of the Workbook class.
  2. If you have a license, then apply it. If you are using the evaluation version, skip the license related code lines.
  3. Access any desired cell of a worksheet in the Excel file.
  4. Insert the words “Hello World!” into a cell accessed.
  5. Generate the modified Microsoft Excel file.

The implementation of the above steps is demonstrated in the examples below.

Code Sample: Creating a New Workbook

The following example creates a new workbook from the scratch, inserts “Hello World!” into cell A1 on the first worksheet and saves the Excel file.

Code Sample: Opening an Existing File

The following example opens an existing Microsoft Excel template file, gets a cell and checks the value in the cell A1.

package main

import (
 . "asposecells"
 "os"
)

func main() {
    lic, _ := NewLicense()
    lic.SetLicense_String(os.Getenv("LicensePath"))
    
    workbook, err1 := NewWorkbook_String("Book1.xlsx")
    if err1 != nil {
          println(err1)
    }
    worksheets, err2 := workbook.GetWorksheets()
    if err2 != nil {
        println(err2)
    }
    worksheet, err3 := worksheets.Get_Int(0)
    if err3 != nil {
        println(err3)
    }
    
    cells, err4 := worksheet.GetCells()
    if err4 != nil {
        println(err4)
    }
    
    cell, err5 := cells.Get_String("A1")
    if err5 != nil {
        println(err5)
    }
    print("Cell A1 value:")
    println(cell.GetStringValue())

    workbook.Save_String("Book1.pdf")
}
