DESCRIPTION

Spreadsheet::XLSX::Utility exports utility functions concerned with Excel format setting.

ExcelFmt is used by Spreadsheet::XLSX::Fmt2007.pm which is used by Spreadsheet::XLSX.

Functions

This module can export 3 functions: ExcelFmt, ExcelLocaltime and LocaltimeExcel.

ExcelFmt

$sTxt = ExcelFmt($sFmt, $iData [, $i1904]);

$sFmt is a format string for Excel. $iData is the target value. If $flg1904 is true, this functions assumes that epoch is 1904. $sTxt is the result.

For more detail and examples, please refer sample/chkFmt.pl in this distribution.

ex.

ExcelLocaltime

($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear, $iwDay, $iMSec) =

            ExcelLocaltime($iExTime [, $flg1904]);

ExcelLocaltime converts time information in Excel format into Perl localtime format. $iExTime is a time of Excel. If $flg1904 is true, this functions assumes that epoch is 1904. $iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear, $iwDay are same as localtime. $iMSec means 1/1,000,000 seconds(ms).

LocaltimeExcel

$iExTime = LocaltimeExcel($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear [,$iMSec] [,$flg1904])

LocaltimeExcel converts time information in Perl localtime format into Excel format . $iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear are same as localtime.

If $flg1904 is true, this functions assumes that epoch is 1904. $iExTime is a time of Excel.

col2int

$iInt = col2int($sCol);

converts a excel row letter into an int for use in an array

This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.

int2col

$sCol = int2col($iRow);

convert a column number into column letters \s-1NOET:\s0 This is quite a brute force coarse method does not manage values over 701 (\s-1ZZ\s0)

This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.

sheetRef

($iRow, $iCol) = sheetRef($sStr);

convert an excel letter-number address into a useful array address \s-1NOTE:\s0 That also Excel uses X-Y notation, we normally use Y-X in arrays $sStr, excel coord (eg. A2).

This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.

xls2csv

$sCsvTxt = xls2csv($sFileName, $sRegion, $iRotate);

convert a chunk of an excel file into csv text chunk $sRegions = \*(L"sheet-colrow:colrow\*(R" (ex. '1-A1:B2' means 'A1:B2' for sheet 1) $iRotate = 0 or 1 (output should be rotated or not)

This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.
