hi,

i need some help with creating a chart in MSexcel. currently i'm using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to import data into excel. i have several 2 column tables one under another . something like this:


column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
...      ...

column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
column1  column2
...      ...

the thing is that the number of rows in columns and number of columns is variable, but if the first column has 5 rows then all other columns have 5 rows, but the number of other sets of columns is always different.

up till now i was solving this problem by creating an excel template for let say 10 rows in a column and 10 sets of columns, and then just populate the correct template. but this is not possible any more. so if anyone has an conceptual idea on how to do this please do share .

this is just the example of what i'm doing now 


sub _xlsout {
##################################################

my ($self, %arg) = @_;

my $value = $self->{values}=$arg{values};  # get the values
my $key = $self->{key}=$arg{key};          # decide about the right te
+mplate
my @SHarray = @$key;
my $indeks = @SHarray;
my $workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("Phylostratigraphic_map.x
+ls"); # create xls file
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart_ext("./bin/Phylo$indeks.bin", '####Ma
+p####');    # ----------> here is where i import the excel template 

$worksheet->store_formula('=Sheet1!A1');
 
my $chart_font_1 = $workbook->add_format(font_only => 1);
my $chart_font_2 = $workbook->add_format(font_only => 1);

my $bold = $workbook->add_format(bold => 1);

$worksheet->set_column('A:A', 18);  
$worksheet->set_column('B:B', 18); 

$worksheet->write('A1', 'Phylostratum',  $bold); 
$worksheet->write('B1', 'Hit',  $bold);


my $row = 1;

$worksheet->write_col('A2', $value);


}
