Hi Greg,
Secondary charts are supported but only of the same type as the primary

Secondary charts of other types still aren't possible.

Thanks John for the prompt fix. I use ActivePerl, so whenever v 0.67 shows
up in their ppm repository, will check it.

Hi,

It turns out that this was the result of a bug.

I've fixed it and pushed the change to CPAN in version 0.67. It should be
replicated to the CPAN mirrors in the next 12 hours (or less). Try it out
and let me know if you have any further issues.

Regards,

John

Help with set_selection in Excel::Writer::XLSX

Hi – I can’t seem to get a simple selection of cells using set_selection.
The documentation is straightforward set_selection( $first_row,
$first_col, $last_row, $last_col )

Here is the simple piece of code, where I would like to set the selection
to 4 cells - B4:C5. Does not work for me. Is it an install issue at my

Hi,
I didn't write or have anything to do with the Spreadsheet::XLSX module but
as far as I know it doesn't have that function.

Hi John,

Is the ParseAbort function available in Spreadsheet::XLSX ? It would be
great if it's already available, since I can't find any site/discussion
about that function.

I noticed that in Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, it does have that function.

Oh btw, sorry for the jump. Actually, I want to parse partial data, like

Hi Giulio,

That is for the opposite to your case: when you want write() to write a
string but you get a number.
If you use write_string() you are going to get a string and Excel is going
to complain if that string looks like a number.
The only way to avoid this is to write the string that looks like a number

Yes, this works.

However, if you change the 3 write() to write_string(), then you'll get the
warning.

I made all my tests using write_string because I always use that when I
write strings, even the manual suggests using write_string when using data

Hi Giulio,
If I understand you correctly this should do it (in cell A3):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'num_format.xlsx' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
