<cfspreadsheet action="read" src="#dirname#SingleSheet.xls" name="SpreadsheetObj" >
<cfset info = SpreadSheetInfo(SpreadsheetObj)>
<cfoutput> AUTHOR : #info.author# </cfoutput>
<cfoutput> Creation Date : #info.creationdate# </cfoutput>
<cfoutput> LAST AUTHOR : #info.lastauthor# </cfoutput>
<cfoutput> SHEETS : #info.sheets# </cfoutput>
<cfoutput> SPREADSHEETTYPE : #info.SPREADSHEETTYPE# </cfoutput>

This feature can be useful when you want to hide certain data or calculations from the end-user but still need them for internal use or computations.

outputExcelFilePath = "#expandpath('./')#excelWithHiddenSheets.xlsx"

cfspreadsheet(action="read", src=outputExcelFilePath, name="ssob");

ssinfo = spreadsheetInfo(ssob)

writeOutput("Sheet visibility information" & " ")

writeDump(ssinfo.visibility)

</cfscript>

<cfscript> outputExcelFilePath = "#expandpath('./')#excelWithHiddenSheets.xlsx" cfspreadsheet(action="read", src=outputExcelFilePath, name="ssob"); ssinfo = spreadsheetInfo(ssob) writeOutput("Sheet visibility information" & " ") writeDump(ssinfo.visibility) </cfscript>

<cfscript>
    outputExcelFilePath = "#expandpath('./')#excelWithHiddenSheets.xlsx"
    cfspreadsheet(action="read", src=outputExcelFilePath, name="ssob");
    ssinfo = spreadsheetInfo(ssob)
    writeOutput("Sheet visibility information" & "<br/>")
    writeDump(ssinfo.visibility)
</cfscript>
