Reading MS excel file from C++

Question

I'm looking for a way to open an excel spreadsheet and read data from it within a c++ program. I know there is a lot of question already asked about this, but I would like to use an OpenSource or free library. (not duplicate question! + Googled around and nothing found)

Thanks

Sorry didn't mean to be snarky. The word you wanted was "programmatically". "Problematically" means something else! — YXD, Jul 04 '11 at 17:09

This question asks for a free C++ library that can be used to load MS Excel files: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2876720/c-library-to-load-excel-xls-files In that way is that not an exact duplicate? — jogojapan, Nov 30 '13 at 09:51

As mentioned over in Article 2876720, ExcelFormat fits the bill. I have used it with success.
