#!perl use strict; use Win32::OLE 'in'; use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # Die on Errors. # config my $dir = 'c:/temp/'; my $specfile = 'names.xlsx'; my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); $Excel->{DisplayAlerts} = 0; #$Excel->{Visible} = 1; my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($dir.$specfile); # create named range my %names = ( 'depth' =>['B1',559], 'height'=>['B2',560], 'width' =>['B3',590] ); my $ws = $Book->Worksheets(1); for my $nm (keys %names){ my $rng = $names{$nm}->[0]; # workbook scope $ws->Range($rng)->{'Name'} = $nm ; $ws->Range($nm)->{'Value'} = $names{$nm}[1]; # worksheet scope my $name = 'Sheet2!'.$nm; $ws->Range($rng)->{'Name'} = $name ; $ws->Range($name)->{'Value'} = $names{$nm}[1]; } # show all named ranges in workbook print "\nWorkbook\n"; for my $nm (in $Book->Names){ my $rng = $nm->{'RefersToRange'}; printf "%s %s %s\n", $nm->{'Name'},$nm->{'Value'},$rng->{'Value'}; } # show all named ranges in worksheets for my $i (1..2){ print "\nWorksheet $i\n"; my $ws = $Book->Worksheets($i); for my $nm (in $ws->Names){ my $rng = $nm->{'RefersToRange'}; printf "%s %s %s\n", $nm->{'Name'},$nm->{'Value'},$rng->{'Value'}; } } # close $Book->Save; $Excel->Quit(); undef $Book; undef $Excel;
