NAME

Spreadsheet::XLSX − Perl extension for reading MS Excel 2007 files;

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Iconv;
my $converter = Text::Iconv−>new("utf−8", "windows−1251");
# Text::Iconv is not really required.
# This can be any object with the convert method. Or nothing.
use Spreadsheet::XLSX;
my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX−>new('test.xlsx', $converter);
foreach my $sheet (@{$excel−>{Worksheet}}) {
printf("Sheet: %s\n", $sheet−>{Name});
$sheet−>{MaxRow} ||= $sheet−>{MinRow};
foreach my $row ($sheet−>{MinRow} .. $sheet−>{MaxRow}) {
$sheet−>{MaxCol} ||= $sheet−>{MinCol};
foreach my $col ($sheet−>{MinCol} .. $sheet−>{MaxCol}) {
my $cell = $sheet−>{Cells}[$row][$col];
if ($cell) {
printf("( %s , %s ) => %s\n", $row, $col, $cell−>{Val});
}
}
}
}

DESCRIPTION

This module is a (quick and dirty) emulation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file format. It supports styles and many of Excel’s quirks, but not all. It populates the classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability; including Workbook, Worksheet, and Cell.

SEE ALSO

Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX

This module has some serious issues with the way it uses regexs for parsing the XML. I would strongly encourage switching to Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX which takes a more reliable approach.

Text::CSV_XS, Text::CSV_PP
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
Spreadsheet::ReadSXC
Spreadsheet::BasicRead

for xlscat likewise functionality (Excel only)

Spreadsheet::ConvertAA

for an alternative set of cell2cr() / cr2cell() pair

Spreadsheet::Perl

offers a Pure Perl implementation of a spreadsheet engine. Users that want this format to be supported in Spreadsheet::Read are hereby motivated to offer patches. It’s not high on my todo-list.

xls2csv

<https://metacpan.org/release/KEN/xls2csv−1.07> offers an alternative for my "xlscat −c", in the xls2csv tool, but this tool focusses on character encoding transparency, and requires some other modules.

Spreadsheet::Read

read the data from a spreadsheet (interface module)
