Hi Tux ,

I think you are right I am looking for a pre formatted xls into CSV and I think CSV is not used for that. I am changing my strategy. Now I am thinking to split the original XLS into multiple small XLS based on the pattern match and then format these XLS files based on other pattern match.

To achieve this , I am trying below code. My intention is to split the big XLS file into small xls file based on the pattern match of the range of lines but while writing out the smaller xls based on above pattern match , I am getting empty xls.

I am trying to match range of lines between /DFT Tasks for Ration/ and /END OF RATION/ and write it into separate xls. 



#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Project_status_tracking_DFT.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
  die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('Ration_Status.xls');
my @color = qw(white green orange pink blue magenta silver);
my @format;
for my $i (1..@color){
 $format[$i] = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => $color[$i]);
 $format[$i]->set_text_wrap();
}

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
  my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
  my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
  my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
  
  # set minimum column width
  my @width;
  $width[$_] = 10 for ($col_min .. $col_max);
  
  for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
    my @value = ();

    my $fmt; # format for complete row
    # store row in array
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {

      my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
      if (defined $cell) {
   if ( $cell =~ /DFT Tasks for Ration/ .. /END OF RATION/) { 
        $value[$col] = $cell->value() ;
        if ($value[$col] =~ m/Completed/i){
          $fmt = $format[1]
        }         
        # determine max width for each column
        my $len = length($value[$col]); 
        $width[$col] = $len if $len > $width[$col];  
      }
    }
}
    
    # write row
    for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
    
      $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $value[$col],$fmt);
    }
  }
  # set column widths
  for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
    $worksheet1->set_column($col,$col,$width[$col]) 
  }
}
