note CountZero Assuming you already have an Excel spreadsheet, use [module:// Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple] to read your spreadsheet row by row. Then check the value of the 'C' column in that row and if it meets your criterium, get the value of the other columns you need.<p>[module:// Spreadsheet::WriteExcel] has an <c>autofilter</c> method, but it does NOT filter your data. It just sets up the autofilter function in the spreadsheet, so that when you next open the spreadsheet in Excel the autofilter is already installed for your use.<p>Note also that you cannot "edit" an existing spreadsheet with [module://Spreadsheet::WriteExcel]: it is strictly "write only"!<!-- Node text goes above.
