in thread Setting format in Excel using perl

Hi All,

Now the custom format has been applied but what I exactly need is, when we export data and print in excel,in the date field when I give filter option, it is just showing the dates but What i need is It should come Year wise and under the years, it should be month wise.

Please provide support and Thank you so much for the help which let me set custom formats.

Thanks

Jey

    You need to provide a Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example that demonstrates the problem like this

    #!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new( 'test1.xls' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();

# set column format
my $date_format = $workbook->add_format(num_format=>'m/d/yyyy h:mm');
$worksheet->set_column(0,0,15,$date_format);#width 15
$worksheet->write(0,0,'Date');

my $row2 = 1;
while (my $date = <DATA>){
  chomp($date);
  # convert to ISO8601 yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.ss
  $date =~ s/ /T/;
  $worksheet->write_date_time($row2,0,$date);
  ++$row2;  
}   

$worksheet->autofilter(0,0,$row2,0);
$workbook->close;
