Generating iPhone Excel

I am creating an application that generates a purchase order. I can create a text file from the details entered by the user. I would like to create Excel that looks much better than a regular text file. Is there any open source library I can use in my application?

There is no ready-made iphone library there. However, what you can do if the text file is not that complicated: - create a new excel document on your computer (or Mac, it needs a little extra work) - add dummy text in the first cell, save and close excel - now change the .xlsx file extension to xml - find where your dummy text is



you now have a placeholder and an app that you can use to add additional content. By phone, you can find the place, insert your text and save. The result will be what you are looking for. I did it manually and it works great. Again, if your scenario is simple. Otherwise there are many relationships in xml that involve longer parsing and debugging times :-)
