Re: write to an Excel document

2002-03-14 Thread Alfred Vahau

Hello Allison,

To write an excel file you will need John McNamara's module
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. You can read on the CPAN documentation at

http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Spreadsheet-WriteExcel

To read an excel file and write output as textfile you will need Kawai
Takanori's module Spread::ParseExcel. You can read on the CPAN
documentation at

http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Spreadsheet-ParseExcel

The two modules depend on other perl modules. These are:

ParseRecDescent
IO-Stringy
OLE-Storage_Lite
Text-Balanced

If you execute your script using the excel modules and find error such
as ParseRecDescent.pm not found, then visit CPAN and download it. In any
case, there is ample documentation and examples on how to use the
modules.

Good luck.

(This is one of those topics that should be in the FAQ).

Have you considered dumping your data into a CSV file with a CSV extension?

Excel will open CSVs by default.

It's the *easiest* way, but may not be what you want...

Take a look at Spreadsheet::WriteExcel on CPAN (www.cpan.org).

Try the SpreadSheet::ParseExcel, and the SpreadSheet::WriteExcel modules from CPAN.

Check out Spreadsheet-WriteExcel available at www.cpan.org.  Really great module for 
creating Excel spreadsheets.

Hi

Does anyone know how to write to an Excel document?  I've opened the
document using OLE but I cannot find any documentation on how to store data
in the spreadsheet.  If anyone knows what the commands are to do this please
let me know.  Thanks,

Allison

Does anyone know how to write to an Excel document?  I've opened the
document using OLE but I cannot find any documentation on how to store data
in the spreadsheet.  If anyone knows what the commands are to do this please
let me know.  Thanks,
