To perform calculations and transformations on spreadsheet data using C++, you can follow these steps:

1. Include the necessary header files: #include <iostream>, #include <fstream>, and #include <vector>.

2. Define a function manipulateSpreadsheetData that takes the filename of the spreadsheet as input.

1void manipulateSpreadsheetData(const std::string& filename) {
2    // Code to manipulate data
3}

3. Inside the manipulateSpreadsheetData function, open the spreadsheet file using an ifstream object.

1std::ifstream file(filename);

4. Check if the file was successfully opened, and handle the error if it fails.

1if (!file.is_open()) {
2    std::cout << "Failed to open file" << std::endl;
3    return;
4}

5. Read the data from the spreadsheet line by line using the getline function.

1std::string line;
2while (std::getline(file, line)) {
3    // Code to process line
4}

6. Inside the line loop, divide the line into cells using the delimiter (e.g., comma) and store them in a vector.

1std::vector<std::string> row;
2size_t pos = 0;
3while ((pos = line.find(',')) != std::string::npos) {
4    std::string cell = line.substr(0, pos);
5    row.push_back(cell);
6    line.erase(0, pos + 1);
7}
8row.push_back(line);

7. Store each row in a vector to maintain the structure of the spreadsheet.

1std::vector<std::vector<std::string>> data;
2data.push_back(row);

8. Manipulate the data as per your requirements. Perform calculations, transformations, or any other operations on the data stored in the data vector.

1// Code to manipulate data

9. Close the spreadsheet file.

1file.close();

10. In the main function or wherever you want to use the manipulateSpreadsheetData function, provide the filename of the spreadsheet.

1std::string filename = "data.csv";
2manipulateSpreadsheetData(filename);

11. Finally, compile and run the program. The data in the spreadsheet will be processed and manipulated according to your logic.

1int main() {
2    // Code to call manipulateSpreadsheetData
3    return 0;
4}

            row.push_back(cell);

            line.erase(0, pos + 1);

        }
