I am trying to copy data from one spreadsheet to another. The data in spreadheet A is derived from a formula so I want SpreadsheetB to copy just the values and not drag along the formula with it.

I set up a macro which I am now trying to convert into perl

  1. Range("N10").Select
  2. Selection.Copy
  3. Range("G13").Select
  4. Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

I am ok with everything except or line 4.

Below is my code:

$excel = CreateObject OLE "Excel.Application" || die "CreateObject : $
+!\n";
$excel -> {Visible}=1;
$excelfile2 = $excel -> Workbooks -> Open("c:\\sheetA.xls");
$excelfile = $excel -> Workbooks -> Open("c:\\sheetB.xls");
$xls4 = $excelfile -> Worksheets(1);
$xls5 = $excelfile2 -> Worksheets(1);


$xls5 -> Range ("H58:H105") -> Copy;
$xls4 -> Cells (9, 15) -> {PasteSpecial} ="Paste=xlValues, Operation=x
+lNone, SkipBlanks=False, Transpose=False";
$xls4 -> Cells (9, 14) -> Select;

Everything works ok except for the Paste = xlValues. The data is pasted in the right column put it still shows the link to SheetA.xls rather than just the value.

I need to do things this way as I have to send SheetB.xls to peole who wont have a copy of SheetA.xls and I don't want excel to warn about links to another spreadheet when SheetB.xls is opened

Can someone pleeeassssssseeeeeee HELP me
