Read and Write XLSB File Format

Possible Usage Scenarios

Microsoft Excel supports many formats like XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, CSV, etc. Aspose.Cells also supports many of these formats. This article explains how to read and write the excel file having XLSB format using Aspose.Cells.

Read and Write XLSB File Format

The following sample code loads the source XLSB file and reads its cell A1 and then copies its contents to cell C4 and saves it as output XLSB file.

Sample Code

Aspose::Cells::Startup();

//For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-C

//Source directory path
U16String dirPath(u"..\\Data\\LoadingSavingAndConverting\\");

//Output directory path
U16String outPath(u"..\\Data\\Output\\");

//Path of input excel file
U16String srcReadWriteXLSB = dirPath + u"srcReadWriteXLSB.xlsb";

//Path of output excel file
U16String outReadWriteXLSB = outPath + u"outReadWriteXLSB.xlsb";

//Read source xlsb file
Workbook wb(srcReadWriteXLSB);

//Access first worksheet
Worksheet ws = wb.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

//Access cell A1
Cell cell = ws.GetCells().Get(u"A1");

//Get the string value of cell A1
U16String strVal = cell.GetStringValue();

//Print the string value of cell A1
U16String cellValue(u"Cell Value: ");
std::cout << cellValue.ToUtf8() << strVal.ToUtf8() << std::endl;

//Access cell C4
cell = ws.GetCells().Get(u"C4");

//Put the string value of cell A1 into C4
U16String strValPtr(strVal);
cell.PutValue(strValPtr);

//Save the workbook in XLSB format
wb.Save(outReadWriteXLSB, SaveFormat::Xlsb);
