in thread Perl script to fill the entire row of Excel file with color based on pattern match

Hi Poj

Thanks a lot ! I could able to see the rows getting filled with green but I am having another requirement also , if the row matches "In Progress" , it should fill that form with Orange color. I have written below code but it is not filling the entire row which is matching with "In Progress" and only half of the row is getting filled. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Homestead_status.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('Report.xls');
my $format1 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'green');
my $format2 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'orange');

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
  my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
  my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
  my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
  
  for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
    my @value1 = ();
    my @value2 = ();
    my $fmt1; # format for complete row
    my $fmt2; # format for complete row
    # store row in array
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
      if (defined $cell) {
        $value1[$col] = $cell->value() ;
        $value2[$col] = $cell->value() ;
        $fmt1 = $format1 if ($value1[$col]  =~ m/Completed/i);
        $fmt2 = $format2 if ($value2[$col]  =~ m/In Progress/i)
      }
    }
    # write row
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $value1[$col],$fmt1);
      $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $value2[$col],$fmt2);
    }
  }
}

    No need for 2 arrays, just use an if-elsif block for the 2 conditions

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Homestead_status.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('Report.xls');
my $format1 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'green');
my $format2 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'orange');

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
  my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
  my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
  my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
  
  for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
    my @value = ();
    my $fmt; # format for complete row
    # store row in array
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
      if (defined $cell) {
        $value[$col] = $cell->value() ;
        if ($value[$col] =~ m/Completed/i){
          $fmt = $format1 
        } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/In Progress/i){
          $fmt = $format2
        }
      }
    }
    # write row
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $value[$col],$fmt);
    }
  }
}

      Hi Poj

      Thanks a lot for your help Please find my complete script . I have used set_text_wrap() property as well to wrap the content in the cells Now I am facing one problem the generated XLS file with the script is having an issue pertaining to the column widths It seems that I am looking for a mechansim to adjust column widths to match the length of the longest string in a column. Could you help me out in the same ? 

      
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('_status.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('_Status_Report.xls');
my $format1 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'green' );
$format1->set_text_wrap();
my $format2 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'orange');
$format2->set_text_wrap();
my $format3 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'pink');
$format3->set_text_wrap();
my $format4 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'blue' );
$format4->set_text_wrap();
my $format5 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'magenta');
$format5->set_text_wrap();
my $format6 = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'silver');
$format6->set_text_wrap();


for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
  my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
  my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
  my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
  
  for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
    my @value = ();
    my $fmt; # format for complete row
    # store row in array
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
      if (defined $cell) {
        $value[$col] = $cell->value() ;
        if ($value[$col] =~ m/Completed/i){
          $fmt = $format1 
        } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/In Progress/i){
          $fmt = $format2
        } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/Planning/i) {
          $fmt = $format3
       } elsif ($value[$col] =~ m/On Hold/i) {
          $fmt = $format4
       } elsif ( $value[$col] =~ m/END OF/) {
          $fmt = $format5
       } elsif ( $value[$col] =~ m/Current Status/i) {
          $fmt = $format6
       }
      }
    }
    # write row
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
      $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $value[$col],$fmt);
    }
  }
}

        Build an array of the maximum width for each column

         my $len = length($value[$col]); 
 $width[$col] = $len if $len > $width[$col];

        [download]

        and set the column widths at the end of the worksheet loop

        for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
  $worksheet1->set_column($col,$col,$width[$col]) 
}
