[poolboi]

hm..i got a perl program that needs to be appended to the last row using excel how can i do this using win32::OLE? thanks

use Win32::OLE;

        # use existing instance if Excel is already running
        eval {$ex = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')};
        die "Excel not installed" if $@;
        unless (defined $ex) {
            $ex = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', sub {$_[0]->Qui
+t;})
                    or die "Oops, cannot start Excel";
        }
    

        # get a new workbook
        $book = $ex->Workbooks->Add;
    $sheet = $book->Worksheets(1);

        # write a 2 rows by 3 columns range
    $y = 2;
    $x = 1;
        $sheet->Range("A$x:J$y")->{Value} = [['Date','Total (IN)','Suc
+c (IN)','Pk (IN)/Hrs','Pk (OUT)/Hrs','Peak Hour','Total (OUT)','Succ 
+(OUT)','MO(IN)','MO(OUT)'],
                                           [$date, $total_in, $succ_in
+,$pk_in,$pk_out,"$pk_hour - $pk_hour_dur hr",$total_out,$succ_out ]];
    
 
    $sheet->Range("K1:L2")->{Value} = [['Pk Msg/sec','Max Pk Msg/sec']
+,
                      [$max_pk_msg,$pk_msg]];
                    
    
    foreach(@parameters)
    {
    $sheet->Cells(2,9)->{Value} = [$parameter_in_array{$_}];
    $sheet->Cells(2,10)->{Value} = [$parameter_out_array{$_}];
    }

        # print "XyzzyPerl"
        $array = $sheet->Range("A2:I1")->{Value};
        for (@$array) {
            for (@$_) {
                print defined($_) ? "$_|" : "<undef>|";
            }
            print "\n";
        }

        # save and exit

        $book->SaveAs ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\clong\\Desktop\\pe
+rl\\$save_file_name.xls") ;
        undef $book;
        undef $ex;

I was looking at this tutorial, http://www.ngbdigital.com/perl_ole_excel.html. Is there a way that I can sort a column without knowing the lowest & highest range? Thanks.

Is there any way to define x-axis, y-axis and Chart titles, if i make chart object like $chart = $sheet->ChartObjects->Add(100, 100, 400, 300);
