use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
 use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('status.xls');
 
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
    die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
 
my $workbook1 = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('Report.xls');
# Add a worksheet
my $worksheet1 = $workbook1->add_worksheet();
#  Add and define a format
my $format = $workbook1->add_format(bg_color => 'green');

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
 
    my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
    my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
 
    for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
        for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
 
            my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
            next unless $cell;

    my $string = $cell->value();
      if ($string  =~ m/Completed/i)    { 

$worksheet1->write($row, $col, $cell_value,$format);

   }
else {

 $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $cell->value());
}
}
                 }
    }

This will write the content to another Excel but only the cells having "Completed" word is colored green but not the entire row having the cell "Completed".
Could you help me out in completing this script ?

As per the documentation of this module at: https://metacpan.org/pod/Spreadsheet::WriteExcel#set_row($row,-$height,-$format,-$hidden,-$level,-$collapsed)
I guess you could probably do something like this:

Code:

...
            my $string = $cell->value();
            if ($string  =~ m/Completed/i) {
                $worksheet1->set_row($row, undef, $format);
                $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $cell->value(), $format);
            } else {
                $worksheet1->write($row, $col, $cell->value());
            }
