Hi I have been using perl for quite sometime now , basically for creating windows excel sheets using use Excel::Writer::XLSX; . Below is the code snippet just for writing a formula to a cell 


use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
use Spreadsheet::XLSX;

my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( "MY_WORKBOOK");
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet( "One" );
my $row =0 ;
my $col =0;
my $formula =  qq/=IF(C${formularow}="Manual",SUMIFS(GL!\$L:\$L, GL!\$
+A:\$A, Compare!\$B${formularow}, GL!\$P:\$P, Compare!\$C${formularow}
+, GL!\$N:\$N, Compare!\$D${formularow}, GL!\$Q:\$Q, Compare!\$F${form
+ularow}),SUMIFS(GL!\$L:\$L, GL!\$A:\$A, Compare!\$B${formularow}, GL!
+\$P:\$P, Compare!\$C${formularow}, GL!\$N:\$N, Compare!\$D${formularo
+w}, GL!\$O:\$O, Compare!E${formularow}, GL!\$Q:\$Q, Compare!\$F${form
+ularow}))/;

$worksheet->write_formula( $row,$col,$formula,$num_format);

The above code writes the formula into excel sheet and the formula is calculated when i open the excel sheet in windows. Is there a way that i can get this value in perl itself. Known Issue for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel This module cannot read the values of formulas from files created with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel unless the user specified the values when creating the file (which is generally not the case). The reason for this is that Spreadsheet::WriteExcel writes the formula but not the formula result since it isn't in a position to calculate arbitrary Excel formulas without access to Excel's formula engine. Is it the same with XLSX too.or is there a way that i can get the values not formula's while reading the excel
