I have been stuck on this problem for weeks now. I am reading a XLSX workbook and need to read F28 to F32 through K28 to K32 into variables, and I have not been able to figure out how to write a routine to do this.

I have: 

$book = ReadData ($inbook);
my @x = qw(F G H I J K);
for my $sheet_index (1 .. $sheet_count) {
    my $sheet = $book->[$sheet_index] or next;
    foreach (@x) {
       $name = $sheet{"$_28"};
       $strain = $sheet{"$_29"};
       $initdensity = $sheet{"$_30"};
       $finaldensity = $sheet{"$_31"};
       $avedensity = $sheet{"$_32"};
       print "Found sheet with label: $sheet{label}\n";
       print "COL=$_ $name $strain $initdensity $finaldensity $avedens
+ity\n";
    }
}

If hard code the reference as $sheet{"F28"} for instance, it works. Iterating through row numbers, however, does not.

Can anyone provide guidance on how?

Thanks,

Hammer.
