REPORTING A BUG OR ASKING A QUESTION
Feel free to report bugs or ask questions. However, to save time
consider the following steps first:
Read the documentation:
The Excel::Writer::XLSX documentation has been refined in
response to user questions. Therefore, if you have a question it is
possible that someone else has asked it before you and that it is
already addressed in the documentation. Since there is a lot of
documentation to get through you should at least read the table of
contents and search for keywords that you are interested in.
Look at the example programs:
There are over 80 example programs shipped with the standard
Excel::Writer::XLSX distribution. Many of these were created
in response to user questions. Try to identify an example program
that corresponds to your query and adapt it to your needs.
HINTS_1
print "Press enter ..."; <STDIN>;
print << 'HINTS_2';
If you submit a bug report here are some pointers.
1. Put "Excel::Writer::XLSX:" at the beginning of the subject line.
This helps to filter genuine messages from spam.
2. Describe the problems as clearly and as concisely as possible.
3. Send a sample program. It is often easier to describe a problem in
code than in written prose.
4. The sample program should be as small as possible to demonstrate the
problem. Don't copy and past large sections of your program. The
program should also be self contained and working.
A sample bug report is generated below. If you use this format then it
will help to analyse your question and respond to it more quickly.
Please don't send patches without contacting the author first.

To: John McNamara <jmcnamara@cpan.org>
Subject: Excel::Writer::XLSX: Problem with something.
Hi John,
I am using Excel::Writer::XLSX and I have encountered a problem. I
want it to do SOMETHING but the module appears to do SOMETHING_ELSE.
Here is some code that demonstrates the problem.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new("reload.xls");
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
$worksheet->write(0, 0, "Hi Excel!");
__END__
My automatically generated system details are as follows:
EMAIL
print "\n Perl version : $]";
print "\n OS name : $^O";
print "\n Module versions: (not all are required)\n";
my @modules = qw(
Excel::Writer::XLSX
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
Archive::Zip
XML::Writer
IO::File
File::Temp
);
for my $module (@modules) {
my $version;
eval "require $module";
if (not $@) {
$version = $module->VERSION;
$version = '(unknown)' if not defined $version;
}
else {
$version = '(not installed)';
}
printf "%21s%-24s\t%s\n", "", $module, $version;
}
print << "BYE";
Yours etc.,

Example of how to add data validation and dropdown lists to an Excel::Writer::XLSX file.
Data validation is a feature of Excel which allows you to restrict the data that a user
enters in a cell and to display help and warning messages. It also allows you to restrict

Example: outline.pl
Example of how use Excel::Writer::XLSX to generate Excel outlines and grouping.
Excel allows you to group rows or columns so that they can be hidden or displayed with a
single mouse click. This feature is referred to as outlines.
Outlines can reduce complex data down to a few salient sub-totals or summaries.
This feature is best viewed in Excel but the following is an ASCII representation of what
a worksheet with three outlines might look like. Rows 3-4 and rows 7-8 are grouped at
level 2. Rows 2-9 are grouped at level 1. The lines at the left hand side are called
outline level bars.
------------------------------------------
1 2 3 | | A | B | C | D | ...
------------------------------------------
_ | 1 | A | | | | ...
| _ | 2 | B | | | | ...
| | | 3 | (C) | | | | ...
| | | 4 | (D) | | | | ...
| - | 5 | E | | | | ...
| _ | 6 | F | | | | ...
| | | 7 | (G) | | | | ...
| | | 8 | (H) | | | | ...
| - | 9 | I | | | | ...
- | . | ... | ... | ... | ... | ...
Clicking the minus sign on each of the level 2 outlines will collapse and hide the data as
shown in the next figure. The minus sign changes to a plus sign to indicate that the data
in the outline is hidden.
------------------------------------------
1 2 3 | | A | B | C | D | ...
------------------------------------------
_ | 1 | A | | | | ...
| | 2 | B | | | | ...
| + | 5 | E | | | | ...
| | 6 | F | | | | ...
| + | 9 | I | | | | ...
- | . | ... | ... | ... | ... | ...
Clicking on the minus sign on the level 1 outline will collapse the remaining rows as
follows:
------------------------------------------
1 2 3 | | A | B | C | D | ...
------------------------------------------
| 1 | A | | | | ...
+ | . | ... | ... | ... | ... | ...
