I would be interested in the post-parser workaround
Below please find a simplified example program testing several reference
methods which all fail the same. The excel file produced by this program
exhibits the same behavior when run against Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.03. I
have also tried setting the volatile flag for the COUNTIF function in
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Formula, to no avail.
### BEGIN cut and paste
#!/usr/bin/perl
# xl_test_form.pl
# used to test formula storage idiosyncrasy in CPAN module
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("xl_test_form_".time.".xls");
my ($row,$column) = (0,0);
my $loop1 = 0;
my $loop2 = 0;
my $format = undef;
my $number = 0;
my $upper = 5;
my $ref_row = $row;
$ref_row = $row;
my $value = 0;
my $formula_row = 0;
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
$worksheet->write_string(
$ref_row
,$column+0
,"number"
,$format
);
$worksheet->write_string(
$ref_row
,$column+1
,"count columns (formulas)"
,$format
);
my $formula = $worksheet->store_formula('=COUNTIF(A$1:A$999,A1)');
foreach $loop1 ( 0 .. $upper - 1 )
{
foreach $loop2 ( 0 .. $loop1 )
{
$ref_row ++;
$value = $loop2 + 1;
$formula_row = $ref_row + 1;
$worksheet->write_number(
$ref_row
,$column+0
,$value
,$format
);
$worksheet->write_formula(
$ref_row
,$column+1
,'=COUNTIF(A:A,A'.$formula_row.')'
,$format
);
$worksheet->write(
$ref_row
,$column+2
,'=COUNTIF(A:A,A'.$formula_row.')'
,$format
);
$worksheet->write(
$ref_row
,$column+3
,'=COUNTIF($A:$A,A'.$formula_row.')'
,$format
);
$worksheet->write(
$ref_row
,$column+4

,$format

$worksheet->write(
$ref_row

$worksheet->repeat_formula(

Thanks for the detailed bug report.
The best way to workaround this is to use store_formula() and
repeat_formula() and massage the parsed tokens.
So using your example, adding the following substitution to the end
will fix the problem:
...
$worksheet->repeat_formula(
$ref_row
,$column+6
,$formula
,$format
,"A1"
,"A".$formula_row
,'_ref2d' => '_ref2dV'
);
...
Hopefully, I will get the parser fixed soon so that this type of
hackery isn't required.
Drop me a line if you need further information.
John.

Excellent!
I did it to just the repeat_formula column to test it, and it appears to
have worked.
I take it that even if you hack the volatile flag for the COUNTIF function
in
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Formula, it is still getting changed/reset again
later by the parser or ignored?

- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" email address and name.
- Original Content Rating (OCR) is the ratio of the original content
volume to the total body volume.

Administrivia:
#The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
#comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
#the single line:
#
# subscribe perl-users
#or:
# unsubscribe perl-users
#
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
NOTE: due to the current flood of worm email banging on ruby, the smtp
server on ruby has been shut off until further notice.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
#To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
#where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
#For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
#perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
#sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
#answer them even if I did know the answer.
