Reading and Writing from Excel using Unix scripting
Hi All,
I want to read and write into Excel files.
I want my script to generate the required output directly in the Excel format.
Is it possible through unix scripting or shall I have to use some other language for this purpose?
Waiting for your suggestion.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
Our group is just starting to get into UNIX here. We are former REXX users on a VM Mainframe. Can someone point me to the documentation to read a file and write a file in a Unix Shell Script or does this have to be done in another language?
Thank you in advance...

excel::writer::xlsx::chart::pie
Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Pie(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Pie(3pm)
NAME
Pie - A class for writing Excel Pie charts.
SYNOPSIS
To create a simple Excel file with a Pie chart using Excel::Writer::XLSX:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart.xlsx' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'pie' );
# Configure the chart.
$chart->add_series(
categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
values => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
);
# Add the worksheet data the chart refers to.
my $data = [
[ 'Category', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
[ 'Value', 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ],
];
$worksheet->write( 'A1', $data );
__END__
DESCRIPTION
This module implements Pie charts for Excel::Writer::XLSX. The chart object is created via the Workbook "add_chart()" method:
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'pie' );
Once the object is created it can be configured via the following methods that are common to all chart classes:
$chart->add_series();
$chart->set_title();
These methods are explained in detail in Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart. Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.
Pie Chart Methods
There aren't currently any pie chart specific methods. See the TODO section of Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart.
A Pie chart doesn't have an X or Y axis so the following common chart methods are ignored.
$chart->set_x_axis();
$chart->set_y_axis();
EXAMPLE
Here is a complete example that demonstrates most of the available features when creating a chart.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart_pie.xlsx' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $bold = $workbook->add_format( bold => 1 );
# Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
my $headings = [ 'Category', 'Values' ];
my $data = [
[ 'Apple', 'Cherry', 'Pecan' ],
[ 60, 30, 10 ],
];
$worksheet->write( 'A1', $headings, $bold );
$worksheet->write( 'A2', $data );
# Create a new chart object. In this case an embedded chart.
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'pie', embedded => 1 );
# Configure the series. Note the use of the array ref to define ranges:
# [ $sheetname, $row_start, $row_end, $col_start, $col_end ].
$chart->add_series(
name => 'Pie sales data',
categories => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 3, 0, 0 ],
values => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 3, 1, 1 ],
);
# Add a title.
$chart->set_title( name => 'Popular Pie Types' );
# Set an Excel chart style. Colors with white outline and shadow.
$chart->set_style( 10 );
# Insert the chart into the worksheet (with an offset).
$worksheet->insert_chart( 'C2', $chart, 25, 10 );
