DESCRIPTION

41       The Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module can be used to read information from
42       Excel 95-2003 binary files.
43
44       The module cannot read files in the Excel 2007 Open XML XLSX format.
45       See the Spreadsheet::XLSX module instead.
46

Parser

48   new()
49       The new() method is used to create a new "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel"
50       parser object.
51
52           my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
53
54       It is possible to pass a password to decrypt an encrypted file:
55
56           $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new( Password => 'secret' );
57
58       Only the default Excel encryption scheme is currently supported. See
59       "Decryption".
60
61       As an advanced feature it is also possible to pass a call-back handler
62       to the parser to control the parsing of the spreadsheet.
63
64           $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new(
65               CellHandler => \&cell_handler,
66               NotSetCell  => 1,
67           );
68
69       The call-back can be used to ignore certain cells or to reduce memory
70       usage. See the section "Reducing the memory usage of
71       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel" for more information.
72
73   parse($filename, $formatter)
74       The Parser parse() method returns a "Workbook" object.
75
76           my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
77           my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');
78
79       If an error occurs parse() returns "undef". In general, programs should
80       contain a test for failed parsing as follows:
81
82           my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
83           my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');
84
85           if ( !defined $workbook ) {
86               die $parser->error(), ".\n";
87           }
88
89       The $filename parameter is generally the file to be parsed. However, it
90       can also be a filehandle or a scalar reference.
91
92       The optional $formatter parameter can be an reference to a "Formatter
93       Class" to format the value of cells. This is useful for parsing
94       workbooks with Unicode or Asian characters:
95
96           my $parser    = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
97           my $formatter = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtJapan->new();
98           my $workbook  = $parser->parse( 'Book1.xls', $formatter );
99
100       The Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtJapan formatter also supports Unicode.
101       If you encounter any encoding problems with the default formatter try
102       that instead.
103
104   error()
105       The Parser error() method returns an error string if a parse() fails:
106
107           my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
108           my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');
109
110           if ( !defined $workbook ) {
111               die $parser->error(), ".\n";
112           }
113
114       If you wish to generate you own error string you can use the
115       error_code() method instead (see below). The error() and error_code()
116       values are as follows:
117
118           error()                         error_code()
119           =======                         ============
120           ''                              0
121           'File not found'                1
122           'No Excel data found in file'   2
123           'File is encrypted'             3
124
125       The error_code() method is explained below.
126
127       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel will try to decrypt an encrypted Excel file
128       using the default password or a user supplied password passed to new(),
129       see above. If these fail the module will return the 'File is encrypted'
130       error. Only the default Excel encryption scheme is currently supported,
131       see "Decryption".
132
133   error_code()
134       The Parser error_code() method returns an error code if a parse()
135       fails:
136
137           my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
138           my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');
139
140           if ( !defined $workbook ) {
141               die "Got error code ", $parser->error_code, ".\n";
142           }
143
144       This can be useful if you wish to employ you own error strings or error
145       handling methods.
146

Workbook

148       A "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook" is created via the
149       "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel" parse() method:
150
151           my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
152           my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');
153
154       The main methods of the Workbook class are:
155
156           $workbook->worksheets()
157           $workbook->worksheet()
158           $workbook->worksheet_count()
159           $workbook->get_filename()
160
161       These more commonly used methods of the Workbook class are outlined
162       below. The other, less commonly used, methods are documented in
163       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet.
164
165   worksheets()
166       Returns an array of "Worksheet" objects. This was most commonly used to
167       iterate over the worksheets in a workbook:
168
169           for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
170               ...
171           }
172
173   worksheet()
174       The worksheet() method returns a single "Worksheet" object using either
175       its name or index:
176
177           $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet('Sheet1');
178           $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet(0);
179
180       Returns "undef" if the sheet name or index doesn't exist.
181
182   worksheet_count()
183       The worksheet_count() method returns the number of Worksheet objects in
184       the Workbook.
185
186           my $worksheet_count = $workbook->worksheet_count();
187
188   get_filename()
189       The get_filename() method returns the name of the Excel file of "undef"
190       if the data was read from a filehandle rather than a file.
191
192           my $filename = $workbook->get_filename();
193
194   Other Workbook Methods
195       For full documentation of the methods available via a Workbook object
196       see Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook.
197

Worksheet

199       The "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet" class encapsulates the
200       properties of an Excel worksheet.
201
202       A Worksheet object is obtained via the "worksheets()" or "worksheet()"
203       methods.
204
205           for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
206               ...
207           }
208
209           # Or:
210
211           $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet('Sheet1');
212           $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet(0);
213
214       The most commonly used methods of the Worksheet class are:
215
216           $worksheet->get_cell()
217           $worksheet->row_range()
218           $worksheet->col_range()
219           $worksheet->get_name()
220
221       The Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet class exposes a lot of methods
222       but in general very few are required unless you are writing an advanced
223       filter.
224
225       The most commonly used methods are detailed below. The others are
226       documented in Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet.
227
228   get_cell($row, $col)
229       Return the "Cell" object at row $row and column $col if it is defined.
230       Otherwise returns undef.
231
232           my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell($row, $col);
233
234   row_range()
235       Returns a two-element list "($min, $max)" containing the minimum and
236       maximum defined rows in the worksheet. If there is no row defined $max
237       is smaller than $min.
238
239           my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
240
241   col_range()
242       Returns a two-element list "($min, $max)" containing the minimum and
243       maximum of defined columns in the worksheet. If there is no column
244       defined $max is smaller than $min.
245
246           my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
247
248   get_name()
249       The get_name() method returns the name of the worksheet, such as
250       'Sheet1'.
251
252           my $name = $worksheet->get_name();
253
254   Other Worksheet Methods
255       For other, less commonly used, Worksheet methods see
256       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet.
257

Cell

259       The "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell" class has the following main
260       methods.
261
262           $cell->value()
263           $cell->unformatted()
264
265   value()
266       The value() method returns the formatted value of the cell.
267
268           my $value = $cell->value();
269
270       Formatted in this sense refers to the numeric format of the cell value.
271       For example a number such as 40177 might be formatted as 40,117,
272       40117.000 or even as the date 2009/12/30.
273
274       If the cell doesn't contain a numeric format then the formatted and
275       unformatted cell values are the same, see the unformatted() method
276       below.
277
278       For a defined $cell the value() method will always return a value.
279
280       In the case of a cell with formatting but no numeric or string contents
281       the method will return the empty string ''.
282
283   unformatted()
284       The unformatted() method returns the unformatted value of the cell.
285
286           my $unformatted = $cell->unformatted();
287
288       Returns the cell value without a numeric format. See the value() method
289       above.
290
291   Other Cell Methods
292       For other, less commonly used, Worksheet methods see
293       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell.
294

360
361           0 => No rotation
362           1 => Top down
363           2 => 90 degrees anti-clockwise,

472       Formatters can be passed to the parse() method to deal with Unicode or
473       Asian formatting.
474
475       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel includes 2 formatter classes. "FmtDefault" and
476       "FmtJapanese". It is also possible to create a user defined formatting
477       class.
478
479       The formatter class "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Fmt*" should provide the
480       following functions:
481
482   ChkType($self, $is_numeric, $format_index)
483       Method to check the type of data in the cell. Should return "Date",
484       "Numeric" or "Text". It is passed the following parameters:
485
486       $self
487           A scalar reference to the Formatter object.
488
489       $is_numeric
490           If true, the value seems to be number.
491
492       $format_index
493           The index number for the cell Format object.
494
495   TextFmt($self, $string_data, $string_encoding)
496       Converts the string data in the cell into the correct encoding.  It is
497       passed the following parameters:
498
499       $self
500           A scalar reference to the Formatter object.
501
502       $string_data
503           The original string/text data.
504
505       $string_encoding
506           The character encoding of original string/text.
507
508   ValFmt($self, $cell, $workbook)
509       Convert the original unformatted cell value into the appropriate
510       formatted value. For instance turn a number into a formatted date.  It
511       is passed the following parameters:
512
513       $self
514           A scalar reference to the Formatter object.
515
516       $cell
517           A scalar reference to the Cell object.
518
519       $workbook
520           A scalar reference to the Workbook object.
521
522   FmtString($self, $cell, $workbook)
523       Get the format string for the Cell.  It is passed the following
524       parameters:
525
526       $self
527           A scalar reference to the Formatter object.
528
529       $cell
530           A scalar reference to the Cell object.
531
532       $workbook
533           A scalar reference to the Workbook object.

Reducing the memory usage of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

536       In some cases a "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel" application may consume a lot
537       of memory when processing a large Excel file and, as a result, may fail
538       to complete. The following explains why this can occur and how to
539       resolve it.
540
541       "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel" processes an Excel file in two stages. In the
542       first stage it extracts the Excel binary stream from the OLE container
543       file using "OLE::Storage_Lite". In the second stage it parses the
544       binary stream to read workbook, worksheet and cell data which it then
545       stores in memory. The majority of the memory usage is required for
546       storing cell data.
547
548       The reason for this is that as the Excel file is parsed and each cell
549       is encountered a cell handling function creates a relatively large
550       nested cell object that contains the cell value and all of the data
551       that relates to the cell formatting. For large files (a 10MB Excel file
552       on a 256MB system) this overhead can cause the system to grind to a
553       halt.
554
555       However, in a lot of cases when an Excel file is being processed the
556       only information that is required are the cell values. In these cases
557       it is possible to avoid most of the memory overhead by specifying your
558       own cell handling function and by telling Spreadsheet::ParseExcel not
559       to store the parsed cell data. This is achieved by passing a cell
560       handler function to new() when creating the parse object. Here is an
561       example.
562
563           #!/usr/bin/perl -w
564
565           use strict;
566           use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
567
568           my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new(
569               CellHandler => \&cell_handler,
570               NotSetCell  => 1
571           );
572
573           my $workbook = $parser->parse('file.xls');
574
575           sub cell_handler {
576
577               my $workbook    = $_[0];
578               my $sheet_index = $_[1];
579               my $row         = $_[2];
580               my $col         = $_[3];
581               my $cell        = $_[4];
582
583               # Do something useful with the formatted cell value
584               print $cell->value(), "\n";
585
586           }
587
588       The user specified cell handler is passed as a code reference to new()
589       along with the parameter "NotSetCell" which tells
590       Spreadsheet::ParseExcel not to store the parsed cell. Note, you don't
591       have to iterate over the rows and columns, this happens automatically
592       as part of the parsing.
593
594       The cell handler is passed 5 arguments. The first, $workbook, is a
595       reference to the "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook" object that
596       represent the parsed workbook. This can be used to access any of the
597       "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook" methods, see "Workbook". The second
598       $sheet_index is the zero-based index of the worksheet being parsed. The
599       third and fourth, $row and $col, are the zero-based row and column
600       number of the cell. The fifth, $cell, is a reference to the
601       "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell" object. This is used to extract the
602       data from the cell. See "Cell" for more information.
603
604       This technique can be useful if you are writing an Excel to database
605       filter since you can put your DB calls in the cell handler.
606
607       If you don't want all of the data in the spreadsheet you can add some
608       control logic to the cell handler. For example we can extend the
609       previous example so that it only prints the first 10 rows of the first
610       two worksheets in the parsed workbook by adding some if() statements to
611       the cell handler:
612
613           #!/usr/bin/perl -w
614
615           use strict;
616           use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
617
618           my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new(
619               CellHandler => \&cell_handler,
620               NotSetCell  => 1
621           );
622
623           my $workbook = $parser->parse('file.xls');
624
625           sub cell_handler {
626
627               my $workbook    = $_[0];
628               my $sheet_index = $_[1];
629               my $row         = $_[2];
630               my $col         = $_[3];
631               my $cell        = $_[4];
632
633               # Skip some worksheets and rows (inefficiently).
634               return if $sheet_index >= 3;
635               return if $row >= 10;
636
637               # Do something with the formatted cell value
638               print $cell->value(), "\n";
639
640           }
641
642       However, this still processes the entire workbook. If you wish to save
643       some additional processing time you can abort the parsing after you
644       have read the data that you want, using the workbook "ParseAbort"
645       method:
646
647           #!/usr/bin/perl -w
648
649           use strict;
650           use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
651
652           my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new(
653               CellHandler => \&cell_handler,
654               NotSetCell  => 1
655           );
656
657           my $workbook = $parser->parse('file.xls');
658
659           sub cell_handler {
660
661               my $workbook    = $_[0];
662               my $sheet_index = $_[1];
663               my $row         = $_[2];
664               my $col         = $_[3];
665               my $cell        = $_[4];
666
667               # Skip some worksheets and rows (more efficiently).
668               if ( $sheet_index >= 1 and $row >= 10 ) {
669                   $workbook->ParseAbort(1);
670                   return;
671               }
672
673               # Do something with the formatted cell value
674               print $cell->value(), "\n";
675
676           }
677

Decryption

679       If a workbook is "protected" then Excel will encrypt the file whether a
680       password is supplied or not. As of version 0.59 Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
681       supports decrypting Excel workbooks using a default or user supplied
682       password. However, only the following encryption scheme is supported:
683
684           Office 97/2000 Compatible encryption
685
686       The following encryption methods are not supported:
687
688           Weak Encryption (XOR)
689           RC4, Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider v1.0
690           RC4, Microsoft Base DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider
691           RC4, Microsoft DH SChannel Cryptographic Provider
692           RC4, Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0
693           RC4, Microsoft Enhanced DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider
694           RC4, Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider
695           RC4, Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider
696           RC4, Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider
697

KNOWN PROBLEMS

702       •   Issues reported by users:
703           <http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Spreadsheet-ParseExcel>
704
705       •   This module cannot read the values of formulas from files created
706           with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel unless the user specified the values
707           when creating the file (which is generally not the case). The
708           reason for this is that Spreadsheet::WriteExcel writes the formula
709           but not the formula result since it isn't in a position to
710           calculate arbitrary Excel formulas without access to Excel's
711           formula engine.
712
713       •   If Excel has date fields where the specified format is equal to the
714           system-default for the short-date locale, Excel does not store the
715           format, but defaults to an internal format which is system
716           dependent. In these cases ParseExcel uses the date format
717           'yyyy-mm-dd'.

TODO

781       •   The current maintenance work is directed towards making the
782           documentation more useful, improving and simplifying the API, and
783           improving the maintainability of the code base. After that new
784           features will be added.
785
786       •   Fix open bugs and documentation for SaveParser.
787
788       •   Add Formula support, Hyperlink support, Named Range support.
789
790       •   Improve Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser compatibility with
791           Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.
792
793       •   Improve Unicode and other encoding support. This will probably
794           require dropping support for perls prior to 5.8+.
