Excelize is a library written in pure Go that provides a set of functions that allow you to read and write from XLSX files generated by Microsoft Excel™ 2007 and later. It supports saving a file without losing original charts of XLSX. This library is only available in version 1.10 or later of Go. The full API docs can be accessed using Go's built-in documentation tool or online at godoc.org and docs referenc .

package main

import "github.com/360EntSecGroup-Skylar/excelize"
4
5
func main() {
6
f := excelize.NewFile()
7
// Create a new sheet.
8
index := f.NewSheet("Sheet2")
9
// Set value of a cell.
10
f.SetCellValue("Sheet2", "A2", "Hello world.")
11
f.SetCellValue("Sheet1", "B2", 100)
12
// Set active sheet of the workbook.
13
f.SetActiveSheet(index)
14
// Save xlsx file by the given path.
15
if err := f.SaveAs("Book1.xlsx"); err != nil {
16
println(err.Error())
17
}

Add a Chart to an XLSX File
With Excelize, chart generation and management can be implemented with a few lines of code. You can build charts based off data in your worksheet or generate charts without any data in your worksheet at all.
