Appending data in an Excel file

Question

I am trying to write a program that will append data to an Excel file in Java. I got up to the following code. But it rewrites the contents in the Excel file, not appending

Answer 1

After opening the workbook from file, do like this:

WritableWorkbook copy = Workbook.createWorkbook(
   new File(""D:\\0077\\my2_copy.xls""), 
   workbook
);

You will get a copy of the workbook opened. Do the changes you need in that copy and save it instead.
