XlsxReaderWriter is an Objective-C library for iPhone / iPad and Mac. It parses and writes Excel OpenXml files (XLSX).
Integrate using Swift Package Manager
Add the SPM Dependency to your project:
https://github.com/charlymr/XlsxReaderWriter
WARNING: Use from version 2.5.0
Add the Library to your target.
Select the Project file -> General -> Framewors, Libraries, and Embededded Content => Add -> XlsxReaderWriter
Add the import to your source
import XlsxReaderWriterInstall Carthage if not already available
Change to the directory of your Xcode project, and Create and Edit your CartFile and add XlsxReaderWriter: Using Carthage with Xcode 12
$ cd /path/to/MyProject
$ touch CartFile
$ edit CartFile
github "charlymr/XlsxReaderWriter" ~> 2.5.0Save and run:
$ carthage update --use-xcframeworksDrop the Carthage/Build/iOS .framework in your project.
For more details on Cartage and how to use it, check the Carthage Github documentation
Cocoapods is outdated v 1.0.11, and apprently it is not possible to update it anymore: https://cocoapods.org/pods/XlsxReaderWriter if you want to fix it and use the latest version
Either install cocoapods with the official documentation https://cocoapods.org or with gem
source bundle.sh
Frome here, instead of pod install use lbundle exec pod install
Just change your pod to this. Please not the branch (here 2.5.0) It will change in the future and be merge in master, so keep checkign for update.
## Change in your Podfile.
pod 'XlsxReaderWriter', podspec: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charlymr/XlsxReaderWriter/2.5.0/XlsxReaderWriter.podspec'
## Change in your Podfile.
pod 'XlsxReaderWriter', '~> 2.5', :source => 'https://github.com/charlymr/XlsxReaderWriter-Podspecs.git'
(optional) If you want faster Build you can add the source
## Add this to your PodFile (at the top)
source 'https://github.com/charlymr/XlsxReaderWriter-Podspecs.git'
## Then you can get the latest version 2.5
pod 'XlsxReaderWriter', '~> 2.5'
XlsxReaderWriter is able to:
- Read a spreadsheet document (XLSX file)
- Save a spreadsheet document
- Create worksheet
- Copy worksheet
- Remove worksheet
- Read cells content (Formula, error, string, attributed string, formatted number, boolean, date)
- Write cells content (Formula, error, string, attributed string, formatted number, boolean, date)
- Get images
- Add images (JPEG or PNG)
- Add/remove rows in sheets
- Add/remove columns in sheets
- Change number formatting
- Read content from merge cells
- Get cell fill as a UIColor
- Change cell fill
- ... many other things
- Add/remove columns in sheets
- Create spreadsheet document from scratch
- Improve number formatting
- Borders
- Add better support for comments (add, remove, read)
XlsxReaderWriter can't create a SpreadsheetML (XLSX) file from scratch. You have to open an existing file and modify it before saving it. Not really a problem: Create your file with Excel or Numbers with all the needed formatting (fills, borders, etc.) then include the file as a resource of your project.

SSZipArchive is protected under the MIT license and our slightly modified version of minizip-ng (formally minizip) 3.0.2 is licensed under the Zlib license.
To include the library to your Xcode project:
- Create a new project or open an existing project
- Insert XlsxReaderWriter.xcodeproj as a sub project of your project
- In your target Build phases insert XlsxReaderWriter as a target dependency
- Add libXlsxReaderWriter.a and libz.tbd in Link binary with Libraries. Older systems can use libz.dylib instead of libz.tbd.
- Add -all_load in Linking / Other Linker Flags in your project settings
- Add the XlsxReaderWriter root directory path to User Header Search Paths and set it as recursive. For example, set the path to "$(SRCROOT)/XlsxReaderWriter/", not "$(SRCROOT)/XlsxReaderWriter/XlsxReaderWriter/".
Now, you can import BRAOfficeDocumentPackage.h in your code.
If you want to use this library from some Swift code, be sure to follow the same steps as in the Objective-C linking, then:
- you should #import "XlsxReaderWriter-swift-bridge.h" in your bridge header file
- if you don't have any bridge header file, create a new .h file, and #import "XlsxReaderWriter-swift-bridge.h"
- Set the path to your bridge file in your project settings : Swift Compiler - Code Generation / Objective-C Bridging Header.
