defmodule XlsxReader do
@moduledoc """
Opens XLSX workbook and reads its worksheets.
## Example
```elixir
{:ok, package} = XlsxReader.open("test.xlsx")
XlsxReader.sheet_names(package)
# ["Sheet 1", "Sheet 2", "Sheet 3"]
{:ok, rows} = XlsxReader.sheet(package, "Sheet 1")
# [
# ["Date", "Temperature"],
# [~D[2019-11-01], 8.4],
# [~D[2019-11-02], 7.5],
# ...
# ]
```
## Sheet contents
Sheets are loaded on-demand by `sheet/3` and `sheets/2`.
The sheet contents is returned as a list of lists:
```elixir
[
["A1", "B1", "C1" | _],
["A2", "B2", "C2" | _],
["A3", "B3", "C3" | _],
| _
]
```
The behavior of the sheet parser can be customized for each
individual sheet, see `sheet/3`.
## Cell types
This library takes a best effort approach for determining cell types.
In order of priority, the actual type of an XLSX cell value is determined using:
1. basic cell properties (e.g. boolean)
2. predefined known styles (e.g. default money/date formats)
3. introspection of the [custom format string](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/number-format-codes-5026bbd6-04bc-48cd-bf33-80f18b4eae68) associated with the cell
### Custom formats supported by default
* percentages
* ISO 8601 date/time (y-m-d)
* US date/time (m/d/y)
* European date/time (d/m/y)
### Additional custom formats support
If the spreadsheet you need to process contains some unusual cell formatting, you
may provide hints to map format strings to a known cell type.
The hints are given as a list of `{matcher, type}` tuples. The matcher is either a
string or regex to match against the custom format string. The supported types are:
* `:string`
* `:number`
* `:percentage`
* `:date`
* `:time`
* `:date_time`
* `:unsupported` (used for explicitly unsupported styles and formats)
#### Example
```elixir
[
{"mmm yy", :date},
{~r/mmm? yy hh:mm/, :date_time},
{"[$CHF]0.00", :number}
]
```
To find out what custom formats are in use in the workbook, you can inspect `package.workbook.custom_formats`:
```elixir
# num_fmt_id => format string
%{
"0" => "General",
"59" => "dd/mm/yyyy",
"60" => "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm",
"61" => "hh:mm",
"62" => "0.0%",
"63" => "[$CHF]0.00"
}
```

Loads all the sheets in the workbook concurrently.
On success, returns `{:ok, [{sheet_name, rows}, ...]}`.
When processing files with multiple sheets, `async_sheets/3` is ~3x faster than `sheets/2`
but it comes with a caveat. `async_sheets/3` uses `Task.async_stream/3` under the hood and thus
runs each concurrent task with a timeout. If you expect your dataset to be of a significant size,
you may want to increase it from the default 10000ms (see "Concurrency options" below).
If the order in which the sheets are returned is not relevant for your application, you can
pass `ordered: false` (see "Concurrency options" below) for a modest speed gain.
## Filtering options
See `sheets/2`.
## Sheet options
See `sheet/2`.
## Concurrency options
* `max_concurrency` - maximum number of tasks to run at the same time (default: `System.schedulers_online/0`)
* `ordered` - maintain order consistent with `sheet_names/1` (default: `true`)
* `timeout` - maximum duration in milliseconds to process a sheet (default: `10_000`)
