hi i have a text file with comma a delimiter. i have extracted the data. But i need to write the data to a excel file, using loop. If i give numbers for the cell, the code works. If i use a variable like $s_counter, it throws an error. Followin is the code.

until ($s_counter == $permanent_counter) { $Sheet->Cells(1,1)->{Value} = "somevalue"; $s_counter=$s_counter+1; }

If i use

$Sheet->Cells($s_counter,1)->{Value} = "somevalue";

instead of

$Sheet->Cells(1,1)->{Value} = "somevalue";

it does not work. can someone help me
