Go Requires Chilkat v11.3.0+

XLSX Convert Sheet to CSV

Open an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx) and loads a sheet into a CSV object. Go

    success := false

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    //  .xlsx files are Zip archives

    success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/excel/fakeCompanies.xlsx")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
    }

    csv := chilkat.NewCsv()
    sheetNames := chilkat.NewStringTable()
    success = csv.XlsxGetSheets(zip,sheetNames)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(csv.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        csv.DisposeCsv()
        sheetNames.DisposeStringTable()
        return
    }

        zip.DisposeZip()
        csv.DisposeCsv()
        sheetNames.DisposeStringTable()
        return
    }

    //  Get the name of the 1st sheet.
    sheetName := sheetNames.StringAt(0)

    //  Load the 1st sheet into the CSV.
    //  We could've also loaded the 1st sheet by passing an empty string for the sheet name.
    success = csv.XlsxLoadSheet(zip,*sheetName)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        csv.DisposeCsv()
        sheetNames.DisposeStringTable()
        return

    //  The Chilkat CSV API can now be used to read, modify, or insert cells.
    //  ...
    //  ...

    csvStr := csv.SaveToString()
    fmt.Println(*csvStr)
