如何在 perl 中获取合并的 Excel 单元格的大小？

Question

I'm trying to implement code in Perl to parse a large Excel sheet as the below Excel example:

For example, in the attached image you can see that 3 elements are assigned as named "rsvd" "frame_kind" and "destination" .

So I want to make a data structure with the size of a merged excel cell in Perl.

eg) what I want to get the information is that rsvd has merged from 16 to 31 and the size of rsvd 16.

frame_kind has merged from 14 to 15 and the size of frame_kind 2.

destination has merged from 0 to 13 and the size of destination 14.

How can I get the location of a cell a certain merged number of cells away and size in Perl?

The Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module has a get_cell method which returns a Cell object. The Cell object does not look like it directly tells how big it is, but you can use the value and is_merged methods to determine the size of the merged cells.

Start at the expected cell ( C6 in your example), then loop through the columns in Row 6, checking the value and whether the cell is merged. The value will start at rsvd , and once the value is not rsvd , you know you found the end of the 1st merged cell. Repeat this loop for the remaining columns in the row to get all merged cells.
