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());
            }

EXIGREP(8)                                                    System Manager's Manual                                                   EXIGREP(8)

NAME

       EXIGREP - Search Exim's main log

SYNOPSIS

       exigrep [-l] pattern [log file] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  exigrep  utility  is  a  Perl script that searches one or more main log files for entries that match a given pattern.  When it finds a
       match, it extracts all the log entries for the relevant message, not just those that match the pattern.  Thus, exigrep can extract complete
       log entries for a given message, or all mail for a given user, or for a given host, for example.

       The -l flag means 'literal', that is, treat all characters in the pattern as standing for themselves.  Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl
       regular expression.  The pattern match is case-insensitive.  If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.

       If the location of a zcat command is known from the definition of ZCAT_COMMAND in Local/Makefile, exigrep  automatically  passes  any  file
       whose name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through zcat as it searches it.

       This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
