How to Read, Write XLSX File in Java - Apach POI Example---r

No matter how Microsoft is doing in comparison with Google,Microsoft Office is still the most used application in software world. Other alternatives like?OpenOffice?and?LiberOffice?have failed to take off to challenge MS Office. What this mean to a Java application developer? Because of huge popularity of MS office products you often need to support Microsoft office format such as word,Excel,PowerPoint and additionally Adobe?direct API to read and write Microsoft Excel and Word document,you have to rely on third party library to do your job. Fortunately there are couple of open source library exists to read and write Microsoft Office?XLS?and?XLSX?how to read and write excel files in Java. As I said,Excel files has two popular format .XLS?(produced by Microsoft Officer version prior to 2007 e.g. MS Office 2000 and 2003) and?.XLSX?(created by Microsoft Office 2007 onwards e.g. MS Office 2010 and 2013). Fortunately Apache POI supports both format,and you can easily create,read,write and update Excel files using this library. It uses terms like workbook,worksheet,cell,row to keep itself aligned with Microsoft Excel and that's why it is very easy to use. Apache POI also provides different implementation classes to handle both?XLS?and?XLSX?file format.One interesting thing with POI is that (I don't know whether it's intentional,accidentally or real) it has got some really funny names for its workbook implementations e.g.

1. XSSF?(XML SpreadSheet Format) – Used to reading and writting Open Office XML (XLSX) format files. ? ?
2. HSSF?(Horrible SpreadSheet Format) – Use to read and write Microsoft Excel (XLS) format files.
3. HWPF?(Horrible Word Processor Format) – to read and write Microsoft Word 97 (DOC) format files.
4. HSMF?(Horrible Stupid Mail Format) – pure Java implementation for Microsoft Outlook MSG files
5. HDGF?(Horrible DiaGram Format) – One of the first pure Java implementation for Microsoft Visio binary files. ? ?
6. HPSF?(Horrible Property Set Format) – For reading “Document Summary” information from Microsoft Office files.?
7. HSLF?(Horrible Slide Layout Format) – a pure Java implementation for Microsoft PowerPoint files.
8. HPBF?(Horrible PuBlisher Format) – Apache's pure Java implementation for Microsoft Publisher files.
9. DDF?(Dreadful Drawing Format) – Apache POI package for decoding the Microsoft Office Drawing format.

updating an existing Excel file in Java. In first couple of lines we are creating rows in form of object array and storing them as value in HashMap with key as row number. After that we??and insert each row at the end of last row,in other word we are appending rows in our Excel file. Just like before reading we need to determine type of cell,we also need to do the same thing before writing data into cell. This is done by using?instanceof?keyword of Java. Once you are done with appending all rows form Map to Excel file,save the file by opening a?FileOutputStream?and saving data into file system.? ? ? ? ??? ? ? ? ? ?// Now,let's write some data into our XLSX file
            Map data = new HashMap();
            data.put("7",new Object[] {7d,"Sonya","75K","SALES","Rupert"});
            data.put("8",new Object[] {8d,"Kris","85K","Rupert"});
            data.put("9",new Object[] {9d,"Dave","90K","Rupert"});
        // Set to Iterate and add rows into XLS file
        Set<String> newRows = data.keySet();

        // get the last row number to append new data          
        int rownum = mySheet.getLastRowNum();         

        for (String key : newRows) {

            // Creating a new Row in existing XLSX sheet
            Row row = mySheet.createRow(rownum++);
            Object [] objArr = data.get(key);
            int cellnum = 0;

Horrible SpreadSheet Format?to represent old Microsoft Excel file format (.xls). Remembering them can be hard but you can always refer to their online Javadoc. You can reuse rest of code given in this example,for example you can use same code snippet to?and from reading/writing into a particular cell. Given they are two different format,some features will not be available on?XLS?file processors but all basic stuff remain same.

That's all about?how to read and write Excel file in Java.?We have learned to read/write both?XLS?and?XLSX?format in Java,which is key to support old Microsoft Excel files created using Microsoft Office version prior to 2007. Though there are couple of other alternative libraries to read Excel files from Java program,but Apache POI is the best one and you should use it whenever possible. Let me know if you face any problem while running this program in your Eclipse IDE or from command prompt. Just make sure to include right set of JAR in your?CLASSPATH,alternatively used Maven to download JAR.
