Cannot import XSSF in Apache POI

Question

I am referencing the version 3.7 of the Apache POI and I am getting a \"cannot be resolved\" error when I do:

import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbo         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem, so I dug through the poi-3.17.jar file and there was no xssf package inside.

I then went through the other files and found xssf int the poi-ooxml-3.17.jar

So it seems the solutions is to add

poi-ooxml-3.17.jar

to your project, as that seems to make it work (for me at least)
