Hello Monks,

I'm trying to filter out unique records in a single coloumn and copy it to another location using the AdvancedFilter function. But everytime I run the code I'm getting the error "Unable to get AdvancedFilter property on the Range Class". Here is the code I have written :

use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
$Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application');
$book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("d:\\test.xls");

$sheetdata = $book->Worksheets(1);
$sheetdata->{Name} = "Data";

$book->Names->Add({Name=>'abc', RefersTo=>'=Data!$D$1:$D$19'});
$book->Names->Add({Name=>'def', RefersTo=>'=Data!$E$1:$E$19'});

$sheetdata->Range('abc')->AdvancedFilter({Action => 0, CopyToRange=> $
+sheetdata->Range('def'), Unique => 1});
$sheetdata->Activate;

In the above code, the named range 'abc' is the coloumn on which Filtering should be done and the named range 'def' is the coloumn where the unique records should be copied to.

Any help on this regard is hugely aprreciated.

Thanks
