require 'write_xlsx'

# Create a new workbook called simple.xls and add a worksheet
workbook  = WriteXLSX.new('a_simple.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet

# The general syntax is write(row, column, token). Note that row and
# column are zero indexed
#

# Write some text
worksheet.write(0, 0, "Hi Excel!")

# Write some numbers
worksheet.write(2, 0, 3)          # Writes 3
worksheet.write(3, 0, 3.00000)    # Writes 3
worksheet.write(4, 0, 3.00001)    # Writes 3.00001
worksheet.write(5, 0, 3.14159)    # TeX revision no.?

# Write some formulas
worksheet.write(7, 0, '=A3 + A6')
worksheet.write(8, 0, '=IF(A5>3,"Yes", "No")')

# Write a hyperlink
worksheet.write(10, 0, 'http://www.ruby-lang.org/')
