I've got an Excel spreadsheet where I'm not having success editing directly. This is a long shot but one of the alternatives I thought of is if I could edit it programmatically. The sheet has many charts. What I want to do is change the data source of the SERIES function of each chart (basically, the problem is some charts use data from the wrong sheet, so I want to update the sheet name in the SERIES. There are many charts so it would be faster to update them programmatically). Is this possible with any of the Perl modules? I've searched the web and all I found was modules that let you create a new chart, but thought I'd ask. (I also have a question posted on StackOverflow about performing the desired edit directly in Excel)
