This queue is for tickets about the Spreadsheet-ParseExcel CPAN distribution.
Maintainer(s)' notes
If you are reporting a bug in Spreadsheet::ParseExcel here are some pointers
1) State the issues as clearly and as concisely as possible. A simple program or Excel test file (see below) will often explain the issue better than a lot of text.
2) Provide information on your system, version of perl and module versions. The following program will generate everything that is required. Put this information in your bug report.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "\n Perl version : $]";
print "\n OS name : $^O";
print "\n Module versions: (not all are required)\n";
my @modules = qw(
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
Scalar::Util
Unicode::Map
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
Parse::RecDescent
File::Temp
OLE::Storage_Lite
IO::Stringy
);
for my $module (@modules) {
my $version;
eval "require $module";
if (not $@) {
$version = $module->VERSION;
$version = '(unknown)' if not defined $version;
}
else {
$version = '(not installed)';
}
printf "%21s%-24s\t%s\n", "", $module, $version;
}
__END__
3) Upgrade to the latest version of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (or at least test on a system with an upgraded version). The issue you are reporting may already have been fixed.
4) Create a small example program that demonstrates your problem. The program should be as small as possible. A few lines of codes are worth tens of lines of text when trying to describe a bug.
5) Supply an Excel file that demonstrates the problem. This is very important. If the file is big, or contains confidential information, try to reduce it down to the smallest Excel file that represents the issue. If you don't wish to post a file here then send it to me directly: jmcnamara@cpan.org
6) Say if the test file was created by Excel, OpenOffice, Gnumeric or something else. Say which version of that application you used.
7) If you are submitting a patch you should check with the maintainer whether the issue has already been patched or if a fix is in the works. Patches should be accompanied by test cases.
Asking a question

Greger.Leijonhufvud [...] intecbilling.com - Ticket created
Version: 0.49
ParseExcel.pm
Subroutine _subRow (lines 827-847)
Problem: The following code makes an erroneous assumption:
#1. RowHeight
if ( $iGr & 0x20 ) { #Height = 0
$oBook->{Worksheet}[ $oBook->{_CurSheet} ]->{RowHeight}[$iR] =
0;
}
else {
$oBook->{Worksheet}[ $oBook->{_CurSheet} ]->{RowHeight}[$iR] =
$iHght / 20.0;
}
$iGr contains the options; value 0x20 indicates that the row is Hidden,
not height.
As a result, cells in hidden rows are not marked as such.
On another topic: the 'Code' undef means that the data is Compressed
(BIFF8), i.e. it is Unicode without the zeroes....
(I am using the OpenOffice doc of Excel file formats...
http://sc.openoffice.org/excelfileformat.pdf...)

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for that, the existing code is clearly wrong. I'll look into fixing it in a future release.
John.

Richard,
What I really wanted was to get the ‘hidden rows’ and ‘hidden columns’ fixed.
I updated the source as follows:
# TODO. we need to handle hidden rows: line 860 ff
# $iGr & 0x20
$oBook->{Worksheet}[ $oBook->{_CurSheet} ]->{RowHidden}[$iR] =
( $iGr & 0x20 ) ? 1 : 0;
$oBook->{Worksheet}[ $oBook->{_CurSheet} ]->{RowHeight}[$iR] = $iHght / 20;
And (line 992 ff)
# TODO. we need to handle hidden cols: $iGr & 0x01.
$oBook->{Worksheet}[ $oBook->{_CurSheet} ]->{ColHidden}[$i] =
( $iGr & 0x01 ) ? 1 : 0;
I can then, for each row retrieved, do
for $row ($row_min .. $row_max) {
……
if ($zWorksheet->{RowHidden}[$row]) {
…..
Is this an OK solution, or may we run out of array space for a large spreadsheet?
The XF hidden is ‘hidden formulae’, not hidden rows/columns

Hi Greger,
It will be fixed. Probably as part of the SaveParser refactoring.
I'll let you know when that happens.
John.

Hi,
In that case it may be best to open up a new tracker from the other
email address and mark it as a wishlist item.
That way it won't be forgotten about.
John.
