editing excel file through shell script
Hi,
I am having a business file in excel having charts based on data already present on it. I would like to add new rows after the existing data and refesh the chart on it using shell script.
For example--
In excel file in "sheet1", There is some data in first 10 rows ( from column A to F). Now I want to add data on 11th row keeping existing data intact. Also if possible already present chart on sheet1 must be refreshed to reflect newly added row.
Please help.
Thanx.

excel::writer::xlsx::chart::bar
Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Bar(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Bar(3pm)
NAME
Bar - A class for writing Excel Bar charts.
SYNOPSIS
To create a simple Excel file with a Bar 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 => 'bar' );
# 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 Bar charts for Excel::Writer::XLSX. The chart object is created via the Workbook "add_chart()" method:
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'bar' );
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_x_axis();
$chart->set_y_axis();
$chart->set_title();
These methods are explained in detail in Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart. Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.
Bar Chart Methods
The "Bar" chart module also supports the following sub-types:
stacked
percent_stacked
These can be specified at creation time via the "add_chart()" Worksheet method:
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'bar', subtype => 'stacked' );
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_bar.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 = [ 'Number', 'Batch 1', 'Batch 2' ];
my $data = [
[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
[ 10, 40, 50, 20, 10, 50 ],
[ 30, 60, 70, 50, 40, 30 ],
];
$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 => 'bar', embedded => 1 );
# Configure the first series.
$chart->add_series(
name => '=Sheet1!$B$1',
categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
values => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
);
# Configure second series. Note alternative use of array ref to define
# ranges: [ $sheetname, $row_start, $row_end, $col_start, $col_end ].
$chart->add_series(
name => '=Sheet1!$C$1',
categories => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 6, 0, 0 ],
values => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 6, 2, 2 ],
);
# Add a chart title and some axis labels.
$chart->set_title ( name => 'Results of sample analysis' );
$chart->set_x_axis( name => 'Test number' );
$chart->set_y_axis( name => 'Sample length (mm)' );
# Set an Excel chart style. Blue colors with white outline and shadow.
$chart->set_style( 11 );
# Insert the chart into the worksheet (with an offset).
$worksheet->insert_chart( 'D2', $chart, 25, 10 );
