hssf

I'd love a good native Python library to write XLS, but it doesn't seem to exist. Happily, Jython does. So I'm trying to decide between jexcelapi and Apache HSSF: http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/tutorial.html#writing http://poi.apache.org/hssf/quick-guide.html (I can't use COM automation because I'm not on Windows, and even if I was, I couldn't afford Office licenses.) My initial thoughts are that POI/HSSF is very thorough, but also very Java-- everything seems a bit harder than it needs to be. Good documentation, but my head hurts trying to bridge the gap between what it describes and what

My data is stored in a format(look down): [-] means a blank cell, on the right may be only 10 columns, after the space. Something like this: [string0] [-] [string1] [string2] [string3] .. [string10] [-] How to change this code for: 1) obtain only [string0] 2) obtain only [string1] [string2] [string3] .. [string10] [-] try { FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("C:\\Users\\student3\\"+sfilename+".xls"); //Get the workbook instance for XLS file HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(file); //Get first sheet from the workbook HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0); //Iterate through

I have a problem with Apache POI project. I failed to use XSSF and HSSF in the "Same Java Class" . Which jar should I download or which artifact should I get add into maven? I want to handle both xls and xlsx files at the same time. When I get excel version error, I will change the XSSF to HSSF or HSSF to XSSF . How can I do this? Instead of doing that, try using the new release of Apache POI 3.7, it has SS package which handles both HSSF and XSSF without worrying about type Details here: http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/index.html Aside from the "standard" SS package solution, you can also

Excel has different modes for viewing a sheet: Normal, Page Layout, Page Break Preview. (In excel 2010: in the view tab). The view mode is saved seperately for each sheet in a workbook and is restored when opened again. I am trying to find a way to set a view mode using Either HSSF or XSSF. In the old binary format, finding the answer seems quite impossible unfortunately. In 2007+ OOXML format diffing does give the basic answer, looking at xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml In normal view: <sheetViews> <sheetView rightToLeft="1" tabSelected="1" zoomScaleNormal="100" workbookViewId="0"> </sheetViews> In

I am trying to hyperlink a .png file in a cell content of any .xlsx file. Following is the part of code and it is showing java.net.URISyntaxException exception (seems because of slash used in the address). However changing link.setAddress("test.png") is not showing any error, but it is not resolving my purpose. Please help me. public static void main(String[]args) throws Exception{ XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(); CreationHelper createHelper = wb.getCreationHelper(); CellStyle hlink_style = wb.createCellStyle(); Font hlink_font = wb.createFont(); hlink_font.setUnderline(Font.U_SINGLE);

I have an existing excel spreadsheet, which I am accesssing and reading values from, I am using Apache POI HSSF. It is initialised like this: HSSFSheet sheet; FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(this.file); POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(fis); HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs); this.sheet = wb.getSheet(exsheet); I am iterating over all the cells that exist in the sheet, which makes a cell object: HSSFCell cell = (HSSFCell) cells.next(); Please can someone familiar with the framework explain how to create an (HSSFColor) object to represent the backround color of each cell
