Question

I\'m creating an excel (.xlsx) file using poi (java). After I create the excel file I see the excel file Author as \"Apache POI\". Is there any way to change that?

It's pretty straightforward:

HSSF:

SummaryInformation summaryInfo = workbook.getSummaryInformation();
summaryInfo.setAuthor(author);

XSSF:

POIXMLProperties xmlProps = workbook.getProperties();    
POIXMLProperties.CoreProperties coreProps =  xmlProps.getCoreProperties();
coreProps.setCreator(author);

Have fun :)
