TYPE
This allows you to specify what write_*() method will be used. The default is to call write() and let Spreadsheet::WriteExcel make the right call. However, you may wish to override it. Excel::Template will not do any form of validation on what you provide. You are assumed to know what you're doing.
The legal types (taken from Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) are:
- •
-
COMMENT
Add a comment to the cell
- •
-
blank
- •
-
formula
- •
-
number
- •
-
string
- •
-

USAGE
<cell text="Some Text Here"/><cell>Some other text here</cell><cell text="$Param2"/><cell>Some <var name="Param"> text here</cell>
In the above example, four cells are written out. The first two have text hard-coded. The second two have variables. The third and fourth items have another thing that should be noted. If you have text where you want a variable in the middle, you have to use the latter form. Variables within parameters are the entire parameter's value.
Please see Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for what constitutes a legal formula.
