Multiline text in Excel cells

Question

I\'m trying to write multiline text to excel cells.

cell.setCellValue(\"line1 \\n line2\");

But when I open the document, I see only one li

Answer 1

You need to set the row height to accomodate two lines of text.

row.setHeightInPoints((2*sheet.getDefaultRowHeightInPoints()));

You need to set the wrap text = true to get the new line. Try this : Here wb is the Workbook.

 CellStyle cs = wb.createCellStyle();
 cs.setWrapText(true);
 cell.setCellStyle(cs);
