Alright, you've gotta be aware that in Excel you can dispaly formats of a cell any way you want so a cell accepts two different textual info, like a formatted "Example Name" followed by an unformatted <<Variable_input>> as in your example. But whether that can be done through Perl, I doubt, I can not recall anything in the Spredsheet::WriteExcel module documentation that testified to this conjecture, to avoid the alignment issues use the merge_range(); instead of write() method of $worksheet.. I have come up with this code, to show the merging thing, thus solving a part of your question, as for the other part, I had to circumvent my way around and make the variable display on the right of the cell and below the "Example Name" line
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; my $workbook=Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('excel.xls'); my $worksheet=$workbook->add_worksheet(''); my $var= "biohisham"; my $bold=$workbook->add_format( bold=>1, align=>'center', valign=>'vcenter', size=> 15 #font_size ); my $var_format=$workbook->add_format( align=>'left', valign=>'right', size=>15 ); $worksheet->set_column(0,1,30); $worksheet->set_row($_, 30) for (1,2); $worksheet->merge_range('A1:B2',"Example Name:", $bold); $worksheet->merge_range('A3:B3',"\b$var", $var_format);
