Google is your friend: "excel 2008 xml library C++"

Microsoft's XML specification for Excel is probably the only way to do this on a Mac, since you can't use Excel's COM library there.

But then if all you want is text output, the easiest thing to do is just write out a CSV (comma separated values) file using QTextStream. Excel will read that in with no problems at all.
