Spreadsheet::ParseExcel makes you to get information from Excel95, Excel97, Excel2000 file.

new

$oExcel = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel( [ CellHandler => \&subCellHandler, NotSetCell => undef | 1, ]); Constructor.

CellHandler (experimental)

specify callback function when a cell is detected. subCellHandler gets arguments like below: sub subCellHandler ($oBook, $iSheet, $iRow, $iCol, $oCell); CAUTION : The atributes of Workbook may not be complete. This function will be called almost order by rows and columns. Take care almost, not perfectly.

NotSetCell (experimental)

specify set or not cell values to Workbook object.

Parse

$oWorkbook = CW$oParse->Parse($sFileName [, $oFmt]); return Workbook object. if error occurs, returns undef.

$sFileName

This module can not get the values of fomulas in Excel files made with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. Normaly (ie. By Excel application), formula has the result with it. But Spreadsheet::WriteExcel writes formula with no result. If you set your Excel application Auto Calculation off. (maybe [Tool]-[Option]-[Calculation] or something) You will see the same result.
