New programmer C++ question: OpenXLSX
I don't know enough of what I'm doing to know how to install it myself, despite reading some of this stuff. (https://github.com/troldal/OpenXLSX/blob/master/README.md). Old dog learning new tricks...

Hello, I was wondering how hard it will be to print from c++ to excel. I've already done it to csv, but from what I've heard, to excel is far more difficult. Is it really that hard? And where can I learn how to do it? (I dindn't find anything interesting on YT). Thanks for the help!
XLSX is just a compressed XML format that Excel can read. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass to author yourself. But a quick google search yielded OpenXLSX.

To read and write xlsx files you would likely want to use a library. Google finds these: https://www.libxl.com/ and https://github.com/troldal/OpenXLSX

Just have to say the module system in this engine is fantastic.
Well congrats for being able to use. Im trying learn modules for first time and haven't even started yet. Can you just look at this thing and give me general idea about how complicated would it be to integrate it with godot?

Creating module/addon to process excel file type.
Recently, I found the XLNT library on GitHub (https://github.com/tfussell/xlnt). It was not available when I began developing OpenXLSX. To be honest, if it had, I wouldn't have begun OpenXLSX. It has a larger feature set and probably has fewer bugs. However, I decided to continue developing OpenXLSX, because I believe that in a few areas it is better than XLNT. Primarily, OpenXLSX is better able to handle very large spreadsheets (up to a million rows).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing OpenXLSX and xlnt you can also consider the following projects:
