I want to insert datas an existing Excel (.xls) file with Ruby under Linux. This file has already data, it has some format properties and it contains macros.
I tried to insert data into the file with the spreadsheet gem but when I save modifications, the format and all the macros of the file are lost.
Here's an example of a simple modification where I meet this problem :
book = Spreadsheet.open('myOriginalFile.xls') sheet = book.worksheet 0 sheet.write('C12','hello') book.write('myModifiedFile.xls')
I tried lots of things, did research on forums and the web but I didn't find a solution... Does anyone has an idea?
