I am having an Excel sheet which contains several numeric entries. Out of which, there are some negative numbers as well. I need to replace all the negative values in it to '0'. Over-writing in same excel is preferable output. More details: Excel name - Test.xls , Sheet name - Sheet1 , Say there are 20 - rows and columns containing several numeric entries. These rows and columns contains formulas too - Say, the values in D column are derived from the entries in C column after a minor manipulation like Add/Sub etc...

Steps i have tried:- -------------------

use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser;

    # Open the template with SaveParser
    my $parser   = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser;
    my $template = $parser->Parse('Test.xls');
    my $f_volume;
    my $f_volume = $workbook->add_format(set_num_format => '#,##0');
    $worksheet->write('A:D', $f_volume);
