How to edit cells of password protected excel sheet Can't Post
I have a working perl script which collects data from master excel sheet and populates rest of the sheets so as to keep them updated. But now there is a twist. Columns in rest of the sheets have been hidden and locked with password. I know the password but I am just not able to edit password protected area. I am using SpreadSheet::Parseexcel and Win32::OLE.
I was going through SpreadSheet::Writeexcel but that can be used to create new excel files as it is not exporting any Open API to use.

Editing password protected data with Spreadsheet:ParseExcel still on the author todo list. Maybe you could mail the author of the module for more info and help him making it.

Yeah...

As of now to acheive the same I have created 2 hidden and locked macros which are responsible for unprotecting and protecting rest of the sheets; and I run these macros from my Perl script using $Excel->Run("Macro-name");

Thanks
