note strat <p>If you have Win32::OLE installed (I don't know if this is possible under Cygwin), you could have a look at [636590|ExcelPerl], e.g. convert the file to csv with something like:</p> <code> perl excelPerl.pl -begin "use Text::CSV_XS; $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( { binary => 1 } )" -ane "$csv->combine(@F); print $csv->string, $/" -f test.xls > outfile.csv </code> <p>Or if you want to keep the formulas:</p> <code> perl excelPerl.pl -begin "use Text::CSV_XS; $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( { binary => 1 } )" -ane "$csv->combine( map { $_->{FormulaLocal} } @C); print $csv->string, $/" -f test.xls > outfile.csv </code> <!-- Node text goes above.
