Why do you have a loop within the elsif block. ?
For every non-match it will write out all the records
for my $row (1..$row_max){ my $valA = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][0]->{Val}; my $valB = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][1]->{Val}; # ... $worksheet1->write ($write_row, 0, "$valA"); $worksheet1->write ($write_row, 1, "$valB"); $write_row++; # ... }
Try
my $write_row = 1; for my $row (1..$row_max){ my $valA = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][0]->{Val}; my $valB = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][1]->{Val}; # does this value exist in Col D if (exists $colD{$valA}) { my $xlrow = $row+1; print FILE "price change [A$xlrow]=[D$colD{$valA}] Value=$valB\n"; } else { # ... $worksheet1->write ($write_row, 0, "$valA"); $worksheet1->write ($write_row, 1, "$valB"); $write_row++; # ... } }
