Package: libspreadsheet-writeexcel-perl (2.17-1)

create Excel spreadsheets

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module can be used to create a cross- platform Excel binary file. Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers, formulas and hyperlinks can be written to the cells.

The Excel file produced by this module is compatible with Excel 5, 95, 97 and 2000. Generated files are also compatible with the Linux/UNIX spreadsheet applications OpenOffice.org, Gnumeric and XESS. The generated files are not compatible with MS Access.

This module cannot be used to read an Excel file. See Spreadsheet::ParseExcel or look at the main documentation for some suggestions. This module cannot be used to write to an existing Excel file.
