Echoing some of the above ...

If Excel is ultimately what you want to use to format your data, then you can (and should ...) use Excel to retrieve that data, too.

If that does not work out, then consider the hybrid approach of using Perl to generate an XML file.   (Use any one of several XML-manipulation CPAN packages ...)   Then, open a spreadsheet which specifies that file as an external data-source.   Now, you can use Excel to specify all of the graphing, any secondary calculations, and so forth.   You can change anything about the Excel spreadsheet within that product.   You can also create any number of spreadsheets which draw from the same data-source.   The only thing your program has to be able to do is to produce that data in the format that you have chosen.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
