Hi, how can I extract images and information from another cell in the same row from a spreadsheet? The spreadsheet is in xls and can be converted to ods (or other formats Libreoffice supports).
The sheet has over 1000 rows that look like this: | [image] | irrelevant cell | irrelevant cell | extract cell | more irrelevant cells ... So far, I only managed to export all images and to read the contents of the 'extract cell'. The problem is that I must match an image with the contents of the 'extract cell': I need to be sure that the image is from the same row the content of 'extract cell' is. Just exporting all images and exporting the content of the 'extract cell' doesn't help because then then image and the content of the 'extract cell' do not match. That means I get over 1000 images and over 1000 cell contents and have no way to tell which image belongs to which cell content. As far as I understood, the image is anchored to something, probably either the cell or a paragraph in the cell (though the cell with the image is otherwise empty). I also know that when you sort a range of rows in Libreoffice or Excel, the images remain where there are and the rows are sorted, which gives you a wrong result because the images would have to be sorted as well. However, there must be some information as to which image is at which row because otherwise you would never be sure that when you open the spreadsheet, the images are where they are supposed to be. So how can I extract the images and the content of the corresponding 'extract cell' from the spreadsheet and know which image goes with which content? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
