       -s <sep>   use <sep>   as separator char, auto-detect, default = ','
                  The string "tab" is allowed.
       -e <esc>   use <esc>   as escape    char, auto-detect, default = '"'
                  The string "undef" is allowed.
       -q <quot>  use <quot>  as quotation char,              default = '"'
                  The string "undef" will disable quotation.
       -w <width> use <width> as default minimum column width default = 4
       -o <xlsx>  write output to file named <xlsx>, defaults
                  to input file name with .csv replaced with .xlsx
                  if from standard input, defaults to csv2xlsx.xlsx
       -F         allow formula's. Otherwise fields starting with
                  an equal sign are forced to string
         --Fa=aaa Define formula action: none/die/croak/diag/empty/undef
         --Ft     Formula's will be stored as text (formula actions: none)
         --Fd     Formula's will cause a die
         --Fc     Formula's will cause a croak
         --FD     Formula's will cause a warning (this is the default)
         --Fe     Formula's will be replaced by the empty string
         --Fu     Formula's will be replaced with an undefined cell
       -f         force usage of <xlsx> if already exists (unlink before use)
       -d <dtfmt> use <dtfmt> as date formats.   Default = 'dd-mm-yyyy'
       -C <C:fmt> use <fmt> as currency formats for currency <C>, no default
         --font=F set default font (default Calibri)
         --fs=N   set font size    (default 10)
                  'M' = 'mono', 'D' = 'DejaVu Sans', 'DM' = 'DejaVu Sans Mono'
       -D cols    only convert dates in columns <cols>.
                  Default is everywhere. -D0 is disable
       -L N       limit export to N rows
       -u         CSV is UTF8
         --de     Some CSV fields might be double-encoded. Try to fix that.
       -m         merge multiple CSV's into a single xlsx (separate sheets)
                    -o is required, all arguments should be existing files
         --skip-empty Skip empty files on merge
       -S <cp>    Split CSV on COLUMNxPAT into separate sheets. See --man
                  or --info for options/features and examples. May repeat.
         --sl=C   Use column C as sheet label when splitting with -S
       -v [<lvl>] verbosity (default = 1)

=head1 NAME

csv2xlsx - Convert CSV to Excel 2007+

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 csv2xlsx [options] [file.csv]

 csv2xlsx test.csv

 csv2xlsx -f -o merged.xlsx -m foobar*.csv

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This tool converts CSV data to Excel-2007+. It can convert the CSV into a
single sheet, merge CSV files into multiple sheets in a workbook or split
a single CSV into multiple sheets.

The tool supports encoding, formula handle, date conversion and some more.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 2

=item -s S

=item --sep=S

use C<S> as separator character, auto-detect, default = C<,>.

The literal string C<tab> is allowed.

=item -q Q

=item --quo=Q

use C<Q> as quotation character, auto-detect, default = C<">.

The literal string C<undef> is allowed to disable quotation.

=item -e E

=item --esc=E

use C<E> as escape character, auto-detect, default = C<">.

The literal string C<undef> is allowed to disable escapes.

=item -w W

=item --width=W

Set column width. Default is to auto-size per column per sheet with a
minimum width of C<4>.

=item -o FILE.xlsx

=item -x FILE.xlsx

=item --out=FILE.xlsx

Specify the output filename. Default it the same name as the input-file
where the trailing C<.csv> will be replaced with C<.xlsx>.

If a filename can not be automatically generated, it will default to
C<csv2xlsx.xlsx>.

=item -d format

=item --date-fmt=format

Use C<format> as date formats. Default = C<dd-mm-yyyy>.

=item -D range

=item --date-col=range

Only convert dates in columns C<range>. Default is everywhere.

Ranges are numeric, where the first column has index C<1>. A range is a
definition of sections joined by C<,>s. A section is either a single column
or a start/finish-pair joined with a dash. A missing finish index on the
last segment is an open range (till the end of the line).

If the range is C<0>, date conversion is disabled.

 -D 0
 -D 1,2,6
 -D 2,4-8,12-

=item -C format

=item --curr-fmt=format

Use C<format> as currency formats for currency <C>, no default.

 -C '$:### ### ##0.00'

=item --font=Calibri

You can set the default font. The XLSX writer used sets the default font
face to C<Calibri>.

 --font=Arial

There are 3 default shortcuts

 --font=M
 --font=D
 --font=DM

Setting the font to C<mono>, C<DejaVu Sans>, or C<DejaVu Sans Mono>.

=item --fs=10

=item --font-size=10

Optional set the default font-size to anything other than the default 10.
Must be a positive integer. No checks.

=item -f

=item --force

Force usage of the output file if it already exists (unlink before use).

=item -F

=item --formulas

Allow formula's. Otherwise fields starting with an equal sign C<=> are
forced to string type.

There are several shortcuts here to specify different behavior:

=over 2

=item --Fa=a

Define formula action: C<none>/C<die>/C<croak>/C<diag>/C<empty>/C<undef>

=item --Ft

Formula's will be stored as text (formula actions: none)

=item --Fd

Formula's will cause a die

=item --Fc

Formula's will cause a croak

=item --FD

Formula's will cause a warning (this is the default)

=item --Fe

Formula's will be replaced by the empty string

=item --Fu

Formula's will be replaced with an undefined cell

=back

=item -u

=item --utf-8

=item --utf8

CSV is UTF-8 encoded. Likely not needed, as most is auto-detected.

=item --de

=item --fix-utf8

Attempt to fix double-encoded UTF-8. e.g. C<\x{00c3}\x{00ab}> should have
been C<\x0100}>. YMMV.

=item -m

=item --merge

Merge multiple CSV's into a single Excel (separate sheets).

With this option, the option C<-o> is required. All arguments should be
existing files. Piping is not supported.

=item --skip-empty

When merging CSV files with C<-m>, skip empty files. The default is to exit
with an error message.

=item -L N

=item --row-limit=N

Limit export to C<N> rows.

=item -S CxP

=item --split=CxP

When dealing with big CSV datasets, this option enables you to split the
data over several sheets. When all the C<-S> options match in a single row,
that row will be the first row of a new sheet. (see also C<--sl=C>)

=over 2

=item C

The column that should be examined. C<A> = C<1>. If lower case, the value
of that column is matched case insensitive when appropriate.

 -S 7=ab      Column G is literal "ab"
 -S G=ab      Column G is literal "ab"
 -S g=ab      Column G is literal "ab", or "aB", or "Ab", or "AB"

=item x

Defines the operation on the column

=over 2

=item =

Literal match

 -S G=ab      Column G is literal "ab"
 -S g=ab      Column G is literal "ab", or "aB", or "Ab", or "AB"

=item /

Regex match

 -S G/b[a-z]  Column G matches /b[a-z]/
 -S g/b[a-z]  Column G matches /b[a-z]/i

=item u U

Check for defined

 -S Gu        Column G is undefined
 -S GU        Column G is defined

Similar for emptiness

 -S G=        Column G is defined but empty
 -S G/.       Column G is defined and not empty

=item < >

Compare. If the value in the column is defined compare. If the values only
holds digits, do a numeric compare, otherwise do a string compare.

 -S G<42      Column G is defined and less than 42 (numeric)
 -S G<ab      Column G is defined and less than 42 (string)

 -S G>42      Column G is defined and greater than 42 (numeric)
 -S G>ab      Column G is defined and greater than 42 (string)

=back

=item P

pattern or literal string. Quotation might be required differing per OS and
shell-environment.

=back

=item --sl=C

When splitting with C<-S> / C<--split>, if all criteria match and a new
sheet is to be created, use the value in column C<C> of the matching row
as the new sheet label.

=item -v [V]

=item --verbose[=V]

Set verbosity level. Default = 1. No argument will set to 2.

=back
