    Your code open creates a new excel instance, then dies because (seemingly) it can't open a file. You said:

    "I am unable to deal with Excel also."

    To many reading this it would seem that the situation you now report:

    "Normally if i open in Excel it is opening"

    The two can't be true. Perhaps spend some time on your posts, be detailed and descriptive in what is actually happening.

    Run this to create a known good xlsm file before then opening and reading it.

    #!perl use strict; use warnings; use Win32::OLE; use Data::Dump 'pp'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # get already active Excel application or open new my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); # create macro enabled workbook my $excelfile = "C:\\perlpractice\\testfile.xlsm"; my $range = 'B1:E40'; my $top_left = create_xlsm($excelfile,$range); my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($excelfile); # open Excel file # Read spreadsheet my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1); my $array = $Sheet->Range($range)->{'Value'}; print "$top_left = ".$array->[0][0]."\n"; pp $array; $Book->Close; sub create_xlsm { my ($file,$range) = @_; my ($start,$end) = split ':',$range; my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Add(); # new Excel file my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1); my $rng = $Sheet->Range($range); my $cols = $rng->{'Columns'}->Count; my $rows = $rng->{'Rows'}->Count; #print "$rows $cols\n"; my @data=(); for my $c (0..$cols-1){ for my $r ( 0..$rows-1 ){ $data[$r][$c] = $r.'_'.$c; } } $rng->{'NumberFormat'} = '@'; $rng->{'Value'} = \@data; $Sheet->Range($start)->{'Value'} = scalar localtime; # top left $Book->SaveAs({ Filename=>$file, FileFormat=>52 }); #xlsm $Book->Close; undef $Book; return $start; }

      my data starts from B1.If i am running the below script it is showing can't call method worksheets o an undefined value.

      use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; my $Excel=Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') $excelfile= "C:/perlpractice/simple.xlsm"; $Book=$Excel->Workbooks->Open($excelfile); $Sheet=$Book->Worksheets(1);

        After fixing your bugs this works for me

        use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; #my $Excel=Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); #$excelfile= "C:/perlpractice/simple.xlsm"; $excelfile= "C:/perlpractice/testfile.xlsm"; $Book=$Excel->Workbooks->Open($excelfile); $Sheet=$Book->Worksheets(1);
