note Ryszard My personal favourite is [cpan://HTML::Template] you can do something very simple like this (untested): <code> <table> <TMPL_LOOP NAME=FINANCIALS> <tr> <td><TMPL_VAR NAME=SALES></td> <td><TMPL_VAR NAME=Q1></td> <td><TMPL_VAR NAME=Q2></td> </tr> </TMPL_LOOP> </table> $template->param(FINANCIALS => [ { SALES => "Low Power Components", Q3 => 3000000, Q4 => 4600000 }, { SALES => "Virtual Wire Products", Q3 => 2700000, Q4 => 2300000 }, ] ); </code> Its then relativly easy to loop thru your Excel output and create the array of hashes needed to fill the template. <p>Then again, there is always [cpan://Text::Template] to use as well.. ;-)</p> 515467 515467
