Reading MS excel file from C++

I'm looking for a way to open an excel spreadsheet and read data from it within a c++ program. I 开发者_C百科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

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