External link not working in sreadshee point to workseet genrated using WriteExcel
We are using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel(3) version 2.12 and perl version 5.8.6 to genrate spread sheet

when we try to use our genrated spreadsheet as extrenal link to other workbook using Excel 2002

=VLOOKUP("abc",'[XYZ.xls]Margin summary detail'!$F:$M,8,0)/1000000

It will show as #N/A

but it will start working fine after we will open the genrated file and it will work fine once we open the genrated file

part of the code we use to genrate excell file is

sub create_excel {

my $out_file_path = shift;

my $csv_data = shift;

# Create a new Excel workbook

if (not defined($out_file_path) or $out_file_path =~ /(\{|\}|\$)/) {

error "File path is not valid:";

error $out_file_path if (defined $out_file_path);

return FALSE;

}

my $dirName = dirname($out_file_path);

Deshaw::GBO::Util::Mkdir($dirName);

my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($out_file_path);

if (not defined $workbook) {

error "Failed to create workbook";

return FALSE;

}

# total margin summary detail.

my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet('Margin summary detail');

# Add and define formats

my $heading_format = $workbook->add_format(); # Add a format for heading

# Format the header

$heading_format->set_align('center');

$heading_format->set_text_wrap();

#$heading_format->set_bold();

# Create default formats

my $string_format = $workbook->addformat(num_format => '@', align => 'left');

my $int_format = $workbook->addformat(num_format => '#,##0;(#,##0);-', align => 'right');

my $float_format = $workbook->addformat(num_format => '#,##0.00;(#,##0.00);-', align => 'right');

our %column_format = (

0 => $string_format,

6 => $int_format,

7 => $int_format,

8 => $int_format,

9 => $float_format,

10 => $int_format,

11 => $int_format,

12 => $int_format,

13 => $string_format,

);

my $csv = Text::CSV->new();

my $row_count = 0;

my $line;

my $fh;

# Set the first row height to 33

$worksheet->set_row(0, 33);

# Set the column width to 15

$worksheet->set_column('F:Z', 15);

my @csv_arr = split("\n",$csv_data);

foreach my $line (@csv_arr) {

$line =~ s/\n|\r//g;

if ($csv->parse($line)) {

my @field_arr = $csv->fields;

my $cols = scalar(@field_arr);

my $column_count = 0;

while($column_count < $cols ) {

my $col_format = $column_format{$column_count}

unless($cols < 2);

$col_format = $heading_format if($row_count == 0);

debug($line);

$worksheet->write($row_count, $column_count,

$field_arr[$column_count],

$col_format);

$column_count++;

$col_format = undef;

}

}

$row_count += 1;

}

$workbook->close();

return TRUE;

}
