Answer 1

JExcel only allows to read or write Excel files, and give a Java representation of the content of an Excel file. It will not substitute for Excel.

When you add a formula, this formula will be computed, but only in Excel, when you open the generated file in Excel. The cell is not computed by JExcel.
