Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel™ (XLAM / XLSM / XLSX / XLTM / XLTX) spreadsheets
Excelize is a pure Go library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel spreadsheets in XLAM, XLSM, XLSX, XLTM, and XLTX formats, covering files generated by Excel 2007 and later. Its core capabilities include cell value manipulation, multi-sheet workbook management, chart generation (including 3D clustered column and other chart types built directly from worksheet data), picture embedding, formula support, pivot tables, and VBA handling. A streaming API allows efficient processing of worksheets containing very large datasets without excessive memory use. The repository is tagged as an MCP subagent collection, positioning it as a tool that Claude agents can call to automate spreadsheet creation, data extraction, and visualization tasks within analytics or reporting workflows. Go developers building Claude-powered pipelines that need to produce or consume Excel files benefit most, since the library integrates via standard Go modules and requires Go 1.25.0 or later. With over 20,000 GitHub stars, it is among the most widely adopted Go spreadsheet libraries available.

# Excelize
## Introduction
Excelize is a library written in pure Go providing a set of functions that allow you to write to and read from XLAM / XLSM / XLSX / XLTM / XLTX files. Supports reading and writing spreadsheet documents generated by Microsoft Excel™ 2007 and later. Supports complex components by high compatibility, and provided streaming API for generating or reading data from a worksheet with huge amounts of data. This library needs Go version 1.25.0 or later. The full docs can be seen using go's built-in documentation tool, or online at [go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/xuri/excelize/v2) and [docs reference](https://xuri.me/excelize/).
## Basic Usage
### Installation
```bash
go get github.com/xuri/excelize
```
- If your packages are managed using [Go Modules](https://go.dev/blog/using-go-modules), please install with following command.
```bash
go get github.com/xuri/excelize/v2
```
### Create spreadsheet
Here is a minimal example usage that will create spreadsheet file.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xuri/excelize/v2"
)
func main() {
f := excelize.NewFile()
defer func() {
if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}()
// Create a new sheet.
index, err := f.NewSheet("Sheet2")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
// Set value of a cell.
f.SetCellValue("Sheet2", "A2", "Hello world.")
f.SetCellValue("Sheet1", "B2", 100)
// Set active sheet of the workbook.
f.SetActiveSheet(index)
// Save spreadsheet by the given path.
if err := f.SaveAs("Book1.xlsx"); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}
```
### Reading spreadsheet
The following constitutes the bare to read a spreadsheet document.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xuri/excelize/v2"
)
func main() {
f, err := excelize.OpenFile("Book1.xlsx")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer func() {
// Close the spreadsheet.
if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}()
// Get value from cell by given worksheet name and cell reference.
cell, err := f.GetCellValue("Sheet1", "B2")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
fmt.Println(cell)
// Get all the rows in the Sheet1.
rows, err := f.GetRows("Sheet1")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
for _, row := range rows {
for _, colCell := range row {
fmt.Print(colCell, "\t")
}
fmt.Println()
}
}
```
### Add chart to spreadsheet file
With Excelize chart generation and management is as easy as a few lines of code. You can build charts based on data in your worksheet or generate charts without any data in your worksheet at all.

```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/xuri/excelize/v2"
)
func main() {
f := excelize.NewFile()
defer func() {
if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}()
for idx, row := range [][]interface{}{
{nil, "Apple", "Orange", "Pear"}, {"Small", 2, 3, 3},
{"Normal", 5, 2, 4}, {"Large", 6, 7, 8},
} {
cell, err := excelize.CoordinatesToCellName(1, idx+1)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
f.SetSheetRow("Sheet1", cell, &row)
}
if err := f.AddChart("Sheet1", "E1", &excelize.Chart{
Type: excelize.Col3DClustered,
Series: []excelize.ChartSeries{
{
Name: "Sheet1!$A$2",
Categories: "Sheet1!$B$1:$D$1",
Values: "Sheet1!$B$2:$D$2",
},
{
Name: "Sheet1!$A$3",
Categories: "Sheet1!$B$1:$D$1",
Values: "Sheet1!$B$3:$D$3",
},
{
Name: "Sheet1!$A$4",
Categories: "Sheet1!$B$1:$D$1",
Values: "Sheet1!$B$4:$D$4",
}},
Title: excelize.ChartTitle{
Paragraph: []excelize.RichTextRun{
{
Text: "Fruit 3D Clustered Column Chart",
},
},
},
}); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
// Save spreadsheet by the given path.
if err := f.SaveAs("Book1.xlsx"); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}
```
### Add picture to spreadsheet file
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
_ "image/gif"
_ "image/jpeg"
_ "image/png"
"github.com/xuri/excelize/v2"
)
func main() {
f, err := excelize.OpenFile("Book1.xlsx")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer func() {
// Close the spreadsheet.
if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}()
// Insert a picture.
if err := f.AddPicture("Sheet1", "A2", "image.png", nil); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Insert a picture to worksheet with scaling.
if err := f.AddPicture("Sheet1", "D2", "image.jpg",
&excelize.GraphicOptions{ScaleX: 0.5, ScaleY: 0.5}); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Insert a picture offset in the cell with printing support.
enable, disable := true, false
if err := f.AddPicture("Sheet1", "H2", "image.gif",
&excelize.GraphicOptions{
PrintObject: &enable,
LockAspectRatio: false,
OffsetX: 15,
OffsetY: 10,
Locked: &disable,
}); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Save the spreadsheet with the origin path.
if err = f.Save(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}
```
