This is an example of a conditional # format. The number is formatted as a percentage. If it is positive it is # formatted in green, if it is negative it is formatted in red and if it is # zero it is formatted as the default font colour (in this case black). # Note: the [Green] format produces an unappealing lime green. Try # [Color 10] instead for a dark green. # my $f_change = $workbook->add_format(); $f_change->set_align('left'); $f_change->set_num_format('[Green]0.0%;[Red]-0.0%;0.0%'); # Write out the data $worksheet->write(0, 0, 'Company', $header); $worksheet->write(0, 1, 'Price', $header); $worksheet->write(0, 2, 'Volume', $header); $worksheet->write(0, 3, 'Change', $header); $worksheet->write(1, 0, 'Damage Inc.' ); $worksheet->write(1, 1, 30.25, $f_price); # $30.25 $worksheet->write(1, 2, 1234567, $f_volume); # 1,234,567 $worksheet->write(1, 3, 0.085, $f_change); # 8.5% in green $worksheet->write(2, 0, 'Dump Corp.' ); $worksheet->write(2, 1, 1.56, $f_price); # $1.56 $worksheet->write(2, 2, 7564, $f_volume); # 7,564 $worksheet->write(2, 3, -0.015, $f_change); # -1.5% in red $worksheet->write(3, 0, 'Rev Ltd.' ); $worksheet->write(3, 1, 0.13, $f_price); # $0.13 $worksheet->write(3, 2, 321, $f_volume); # 321 $worksheet->write(3, 3, 0, $f_change); # 0 in the font color (black)
