Spreadsheet::XLSX(3)

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 (Spradsheet::XLSX) 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)
