in reply to Re^4: Reading Excel file in perl
in thread Reading Excel file in perl

When I try this:

$worksheet1->write(0,1,"Modules", $format); $worksheet1->write(0,2,"Excel"); $worksheet1->write(0,3, "Dumper");

It gives me this:

Modules Excel Dumper

and when I do this (which is your code)

$worksheet1->write(0,1,"Modules", $format); $worksheet1->write(1,1,"Excel"); $worksheet1->write(2,1, "Dumper");

I get this:

Modules Excel Dumper

I think you just need to watch which index is for row and which is for column.

(EDITED because I misread and got backward what was desired vs. what you were getting)

Another EDIT:
and if I do this:

$worksheet1->write(0,0,"A1"); $worksheet1->write(0,1,"B1"); $worksheet1->write(0,2, "C1"); $worksheet1->write(1,0,"A2"); $worksheet1->write(1,1,"B2"); $worksheet1->write(1,2, "C2"); $worksheet1->write(2,0,"A3"); $worksheet1->write(2,1,"B3"); $worksheet1->write(2,2, "C3");

I get:

A1 B1 C1 A2 B2 C2 A3 B3 C3

Where each of the contents is also the name of the cell. Normally you'd do something like that with a nested loop
