Refer below:

        String fileName = "D:\\TestScripts.xls"; // file
        POIFSFileSystem fileSystem = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream(fileName));
        HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fileSystem);
    //  HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0); //Get first Excel Sheet
        HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("SheetName"); //Get data as per sheet name
        for (Row row : sheet) { // For each Row.
              Cell cell = row.getCell(0); // Get the Cell at the Index / Column you want.
              if(cell.getStringCellValue().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
                  System.out.println(cell.getRow().getLastCellNum());
                  for(int i=0;i<=cell.getRow().getLastCellNum()-1;i++) {
                      System.out.println(cell.getRow().getCell(i));
                  }
              }
           }

Remove below condition if you are not looking for any particular column data

 if(cell.getStringCellValue().equalsIgnoreCase("test"))

Note: you need to change the test from above code with your column name like id, name as per your sheet data header
