Re: Excel and Win32::OLE chart problems

in reply to Excel and Win32::OLE chart problems

I'm not a Win32::OLE user, but that loose curly bracket looks suspect:

$chart->ChartType} = xl3DColumnClustered;
[download]

I tried to throw your code into a file like this:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
my ($vtfalse,$sheet);
# Create the chart #
my $chart = $sheet->ChartObjects->Add(1, 175, 457, 300);
$chart->ChartType = 'xl3DColumnClustered';
$chart->Chart->ChartWizard({Source =>$sheet->Range("D5:D12")});
$chart->Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->{Values}=$sheet->Range("D5:D12");
$chart->Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->{XValues}=$sheet->Range("B5:B12");
$chart->Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->{Values}=$sheet->Range("D5:D12");
$chart->Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->{Name}=$sheet->Range("B5:B12");
$chart->Chart->{HasLegend} = $vtfalse;
$chart->Chart->{HasDataTable} = $vtfalse;
$chart->Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->{HasDataLabels} = 1;
[download]

but I still get errors.

Can't call method "ChartObjects" on an undefined value at K:\Desktop\3
+d-chart.pl
 line 7.

Guess I'm missing something else. Can you post some minimal complete code that illustrates your problem?

Thanks for taking time to test it. Here is a part of code that might help: use Win32::OLE qw(in with); use Win32::OLE::Variant; use Win32::OLE::NLS qw(:LOCALE :DATE); use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Office .* Object Library'; use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel'; use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Graph 9.0 Object Library"; my $vtfalse = Variant(VT_BOOL, 0); my $vttrue = Variant(VT_BOOL, 1); my $vtpagesw = Variant(VT_I4, 1); my $vtpagest = Variant(VT_I4, 999); eval {$ex = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application','Quit' +)}; die "Excel not installed" if $@; unless (defined $ex) { $ex = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', sub {$_[0]- +>Quit;}) or die "Oops, cannot start Excel"; } [download] I've correct the missing braket, but it didn't change anything. I've also tried to use the `$chart->ChartType = 'xl3DColumnClustered';`, but I ended with a Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at Z:\ScriptPerl\SAC\Sommaire-VL.pl line 232. I'll continue trying to make it work today and I'll update later with my conclusions... if any.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
