to all, i have installed Spreadshee::ParseExcel to parse some large excel data files. Here is the problem I'm facing. I need to parse data from columns M to P and rows 10 to 43000. Now I know that there is a PrintArea method that can print an area of a worksheet specified in (start row, start col, end row, end col). However I'm having difficulty in specifying these parameters correctly for the PrintArea method. I'm also not sure what the output is going to look like. does anyone in this forum have any pointers? all advice will be appreciated. tia, anjan
