in reply to Creating Pivot tables from Perl

narashima,

Not a complete Perl soultion but..
Could you not have your pivot table in an Excel sheet**, then append the output from your Perl script to the file?

**If you pre define a piviot table you should be able to update it when the excel file is next opened using a VBS (within the Excel file, NOT your Perl script) like:
Sub Auto_Open() Application.OnSheetActivate = "UpdateIt" End Sub Sub UpdateIt() Dim iP As Integer Application.DisplayAlerts = False For iP = 1 To ActiveSheet.PivotTables.Count ActiveSheet.PivotTables(iP).RefreshTable Next Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub

Please excuse the fact that this is not Perl code :(
Are you currently able to write data to an Excel file? Cpan has many modules regards Excel writting.

Hope this helps.

Martin

    Thanks Martin. This non-perl intensive solution sure works for me :)
