LargeData

• LargeData example demonstrates how to efficiently generate, write, and read large Excel .xlsx files using QXlsx.
• It showcases:
  • Writing a large dataset (hundreds of thousands of rows)
  • Optional cell formatting
  • Splitting data across multiple sheets
  • Time-stamped progress reporting (0.1% increments)
  • Verification of selected sample cells after writing
  • Command-line configurability (rows, columns, sheet size, etc.)

• This example is useful for testing performance, benchmarking, and validating QXlsx behavior with big data workloads.

• Command-Line Usage
  • The program accepts several optional parameters:

Option	Description	Default
--rows <n> -r <n>	Number of rows to generate	100000
--cols <n> -c <n>	Number of columns to generate	10
--use-style -s	Apply simple cell formatting	Disabled
--sheet-rows <n> -S <n>	Max rows per sheet (0 = single sheet)	0

• Examples

LargeData --rows 200000 --cols 20
   Generate 200,000 rows × 20 columns
   
LargeData -r 100000 -c 10 --use-style
   Apply cell formatting   

LargeData -r 200000 -c 10 -S 50000
   Split into multiple sheets (50,000 rows per sheet)

LargeData -r 300000 -c 15 -S 60000 --use-style
   All options combined
