DESCRIPTION

This is the class that contains cell data. There are no XML parsing actions taken in the background of this class. All data has been pre-coalated/built from the Worksheet class. In general the Worksheet class will populate the attributes of this class when it is generated. If you want to use it as a standalone class just fill in the Attributes below. It should be noted that the Formatter class also pre-converts the unformatted value. Not much goes on here but access or excesize of code provided from other places.

Primary Methods

This is the method used to transform data stored in the Attributes (not just return it directly). The method is an object method and should be implemented on the instance.

Example:

my $value = $cell_intance->value;

value

    Definition: Returns the formatted value of the cell transformed from the base xml string if it is available. In the weird case where the cell_xml_value is not available but the unformatted value is then this method will use the unformatted value. This method then applies any conversion stored in the cell_coercion attribute. If there is no format/conversion set then this will return the selected value. Any failures to process this value can be retrieved with $self->error.

    Accepts:Nothing

    Returns: the cell 'value' processed by the set conversion

Attributes

This class is just a storage of coallated information about the requested cell stored in the following attributes. For more information on attributes see Moose::Manual::Attributes. Data about the cell can be retrieved from each attribute using the 'attribute methods'. 'Delegated methods' are methods available at the class or instance level directly delegated from that specific attribute.

error_inst

cell_xml_value

    Definition: This contains the raw value stored in xml for this cell. This can be different than the 'cell_unformatted' value based on archane rules set by Microsoft.

    Range:Any string or nothing

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      xml_value

        Definition: returns the attribute value

      has_xml_value

        Definition: predicate for this attribute

cell_unformatted

    Definition: This holds the unformatted value of the cell. The unformatted value of the cell as defined by this package is the value displayed in the formula bar when selecting the cell. This can be a bit squidgy where the cell is actually populated with a formula. In that case this should contain the implied value based on my (or your) visibility to the excel value that would normally be there.

    Range: a string

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      unformatted

        Definition: returns the attribute value

      has_unformatted

        Definition: a predicate method for the attribute

rich_text

    Definition: This attribute holds a rich text data structure like "get_rich_text()" in Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell with the exception that it doesn't bless each hashref into an object. The hashref's are also organized per the Excel xlsx information in the the sharedStrings.xml file. In general this is an arrayref of arrayrefs where the second level contains two positions. The first position is the place (from zero) where the formatting is implemented. The second position is a hashref of the formatting values. The format is in force until the next start place is identified.

      note: It is important to understand that Excel can store two formats for the same cell and often they don't agree. For example using the attribute cell_font will not always contain the same value as specific fonts (or any font) listed in the rich text array.

    Default: undef = no rich text defined for this cell

    Range: an array ref of rich_text positions and definitions

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      get_rich_text

        Definition: returns the attribute value

      has_rich_text

        Definition: Indicates if the attribute has anything stored

cell_font

    Definition: This holds the font assigned to the cell

    Range: a hashref of definitions for the font

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      get_font

        Definition: returns the attribute contents

      has_font

        Definition: Predicate for the attribute contentss

      get_border

        Definition: returns the attribute contents

      has_border

        Definition: Indicates if the attribute has any contents

cell_style

    Definition: This holds the style settings assigned to the cell

    Range: a hashref of style definitions

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      get_style

        Definition: returns the attribute contents

      has_style

        Definition: Indicates if the attribute has anything stored

    Range: The alignment definition

    attribute methods Methods provided to adjust this attribute

      get_alignment

        Definition: returns the attribute value

      has_alignment

        Definition: Indicates if the attribute has anything stored

cell_type

    Definition: This holds the type of data stored in the cell. In general it follows the convention of ParseExcel (Date, Numeric, or Text) however, since custom coercions will change data to some possible non excel standard state this also allows a 'Custom' type representing any cell with a custom conversion assigned to it (by you either at the worksheet level or here).

    Range: Text = Strings, Numeric = Real Numbers, Date = Real Numbers with an assigned Date conversion or ISO dates, Custom = any stored value with a custom conversion

      encoding

        Definition: returns the attribute value

      has_encoding

        Definition: Indicates if the attribute has anything stored

cell_merge

    Definition: if the cell is part of a group of merged cells this will store the upper left and lower right cell ID's in a string concatenated with a ':'

    Range: If you wish to set this with your own code it must have two methods. First, 'assert_coerce' which will be applied when transforming the unformatted value. Second, 'display_name' which will be used to self identify. For an example of how to build a custom format see "custom_formats" in Spreadsheet::Reader::ExcelXML::Worksheet.
