# Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Big - A class for creating Excel files > 7MB. - perldoc - [phpMan]

## NAME
    Big - A class for creating Excel files > 7MB.

## SYNOPSIS
    Use of this module is deprecated. See below.

## DESCRIPTION
    The module was a sub-class of [Spreadsheet::WriteExcel](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Spreadsheet%3A%3AWriteExcel/markdown) used for creating Excel files greater than
    7MB. However, it is no longer required and is now deprecated.

    As of version 2.17 [Spreadsheet::WriteExcel](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Spreadsheet%3A%3AWriteExcel/markdown) can create files larger than 7MB directly if
    [OLE::Storage_Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/OLE%3A%3AStorageLite/markdown) is installed.

    This module only exists for backwards compatibility. If your programs use ::Big you should
    convert them to use [Spreadsheet::WritExcel](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Spreadsheet%3A%3AWritExcel/markdown) directly.

## REQUIREMENTS
    [OLE::Storage_Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/OLE%3A%3AStorageLite/markdown).
