# Hey changed the code from

It at least ran without errors but instead of using all the data in the array, it only uses the 1st 3 elements and uses it for all the rows.

    I am not sure how to get it to use all the rows with just using "\@mydata". I modified the code to work, but it is very inefficient. Can anyone think of a more efficient way to resolve this issue without using a loop? The code is below: 
    # Our data that we will add to the workbook...
@mydata = ("Item",     "Category", "Price"); 
@mydata1 = ("Nails",    "Hardware",  "5.25");
@mydata2 = ("Shirt",    "Clothing", "23.00");
@mydata3 = ("Hammer",   "Hardware", "16.25");
@mydata4 = ("Sandwich", "Food",      "5.00");
@mydata5 = ("Pants",    "Clothing", "31.00");
@mydata6 = ("Drinks",   "Food",      "2.25");           
           

# Write all the data at once...
$rngt = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A1:C7");
$rng = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A1:C1");
$rng1 = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A2:C2");
$rng2 = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A3:C3");
$rng3 = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A4:C4");
$rng4 = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A5:C5");
$rng5 = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A6:C6");
$rng6 = $xlBook->ActiveSheet->Range("A7:C7");
$rng->{Value} = \@mydata;
$rng1->{Value} = \@mydata1;
$rng2->{Value} = \@mydata2;
$rng3->{Value} = \@mydata3;
$rng4->{Value} = \@mydata4;
$rng5->{Value} = \@mydata5;
$rng6->{Value} = \@mydata6;

      Read the code I gave you here, copy it, populate @mydata with all the data you want, run the script.
