# A simple example of how to use the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to write
# some  text and numbers to an Excel binary file.
#
# reverse('©'), March 2001, John McNamara, jmcnamara@cpan.org
#

use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

# Create a new workbook called simple.xls and add a worksheet
my $workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('a_simple.xls');
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();

# The general syntax is write($row, $column, $token). Note that row and
# column are zero indexed
#

# Write some text
$worksheet->write(0, 0,  "Hi Excel!");


# Write some numbers
$worksheet->write(2, 0,  3);          # Writes 3
$worksheet->write(3, 0,  3.00000);    # Writes 3
$worksheet->write(4, 0,  3.00001);    # Writes 3.00001
$worksheet->write(5, 0,  3.14159);    # TeX revision no.?


# Write some formulas
$worksheet->write(7, 0,  '=A3 + A6');
$worksheet->write(8, 0,  '=IF(A5>3,"Yes", "No")');


# Write a hyperlink
$worksheet->write(10, 0, 'http://www.perl.com/');
