NAME
    Spreadsheet::XLSX - Perl extension for reading MS Excel 2007 files;

SYNOPSIS
        use Text::Iconv;
        my $converter = Text::Iconv->new("utf-8", "windows-1251");

        # Text::Iconv is not really required.
        # This can be any object with the convert method. Or nothing.

        use Spreadsheet::XLSX;

        my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX->new('test.xlsx', $converter);

        foreach my $sheet (@{$excel->{Worksheet}}) {

            printf("Sheet: %s\n", $sheet->{Name});

            $sheet->{MaxRow} ||= $sheet->{MinRow};

            foreach my $row ($sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow}) {

                $sheet->{MaxCol} ||= $sheet->{MinCol};

                foreach my $col ($sheet->{MinCol} ..  $sheet->{MaxCol}) {

                    my $cell = $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col];

                    if ($cell) {
                        printf("( %s , %s ) => %s\n", $row, $col, $cell->{Val});
                    }

                }

            }

        }

DESCRIPTION
    This module is a (quick and dirty) emulation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007 (.xlsx)
    file format. It supports styles and many of Excel's quirks, but not all. It populates the
    classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability; including Workbook, Worksheet, and
    Cell.

SEE ALSO
    Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX
      This module has some serious issues with the way it uses regexs for parsing the XML. I would
      strongly encourage switching to Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX which takes a more reliable approach.

    Text::CSV_XS, Text::CSV_PP
    Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
    Spreadsheet::ReadSXC
    Spreadsheet::BasicRead
      for xlscat likewise functionality (Excel only)

    Spreadsheet::ConvertAA
      for an alternative set of "cell2cr()" / "cr2cell()" pair

    Spreadsheet::Perl
      offers a Pure Perl implementation of a spreadsheet engine. Users that want this format to be
      supported in Spreadsheet::Read are hereby motivated to offer patches. It's not high on my
      todo-list.

    xls2csv
      <https://metacpan.org/release/KEN/xls2csv-1.07> offers an alternative for my "xlscat -c", in
      the xls2csv tool, but this tool focusses on character encoding transparency, and requires some
      other modules.

    Spreadsheet::Read
      read the data from a spreadsheet (interface module)
