NAME

6       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple - A simple interface to Excel data
7

SYNOPSIS

9         my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read('spreadsheet.xls');
10         foreach my $sheet ($xls->sheets) {
11            while ($sheet->has_data) {
12                my @data = $sheet->next_row;
13            }
14         }
15

DESCRIPTION

17       This provides an abstraction to the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module for
18       simple reading of values.
19
20       You simply loop over the sheets, and fetch rows to arrays.
21
22       For anything more complex, you probably want to use
23       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel directly.
24

BOOK METHODS

26   read
27         my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read('spreadsheet.xls');
28
29       This opens the spreadsheet specified for you. Returns undef if we
30       cannot read the book.
31
32   sheets
33         @sheets = $xls->sheets;
34
35       Each spreadsheet can contain one or more worksheets. This fetches them
36       all back. You can then iterate over them, or jump straight to the one
37       you wish to play with.
38
39   book
40               my $book = $xls->book;
41
42       The Spreadsheet::ParseExcel object we are working with. You can use
43       this if you need to manipulate it in ways that this interface doesn't
44       allow.
45

SHEET METHODS

47       These methods can be called on each sheet returned from $xls->sheets:
48
49   has_data
50         if ($sheet->has_data) { ... }
51
52       This lets us know if there are more rows in this sheet that we haven't
53       read yet. This allows us to differentiate between an empty row, and the
54       end of the sheet.
55
56   next_row
57         my @data = $sheet->next_row;
58
59       Fetch the next row of data back.
60
61   sheet
62               my $obj = $sheet->sheet;
63
64       The underlying Spreadsheet::ParseExcel object for the worksheet. You
65       can use this if you need to manipulate it in ways that this interface
66       doesn't allow (e.g. asking it for the sheet's name).
