In this article, we will discuss about how to read and write an excel file using Apache POI
1. Basic definitions for Apache POI library
This section briefly describe about basic classes used during Excel Read and Write.
HSSFis prefixed before the class name to indicate operations related to a Microsoft Excel 2003 file.XSSFis prefixed before the class name to indicate operations related to a Microsoft Excel 2007 file or later.XSSFWorkbookandHSSFWorkbookare classes which act as an Excel WorkbookHSSFSheetandXSSFSheetare classes which act as an Excel WorksheetRowdefines an Excel rowCelldefines an Excel cell addressed in reference to a row.
2. Download Apache POI
Apache POI library is easily available using Maven Dependencies.
pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.15</version>
</dependency>
3. Apache POI library – Writing a Simple Excel
The below code shows how to write a simple Excel file using Apache POI libraries. The code uses a 2 dimensional data array to hold the data. The data is written to a XSSFWorkbook object. XSSFSheet is the work sheet being worked on. The code is as shown below:
ApachePOIExcelWrite.java
package com.mkyong;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ApachePOIExcelWrite {
private static final String FILE_NAME = "/tmp/MyFirstExcel.xlsx";
public static void main(String[] args) {
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook();
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Datatypes in Java");
Object[][] datatypes = {
{"Datatype", "Type", "Size(in bytes)"},
{"int", "Primitive", 2},
{"float", "Primitive", 4},
{"double", "Primitive", 8},
{"char", "Primitive", 1},
{"String", "Non-Primitive", "No fixed size"}
};
int rowNum = 0;
System.out.println("Creating excel");
for (Object[] datatype : datatypes) {
Row row = sheet.createRow(rowNum++);
int colNum = 0;
for (Object field : datatype) {
Cell cell = row.createCell(colNum++);
if (field instanceof String) {
cell.setCellValue((String) field);
} else if (field instanceof Integer) {
cell.setCellValue((Integer) field);
}
}
}
try {
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(FILE_NAME);
workbook.write(outputStream);
workbook.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Done");
}
}
On executing the above code, you get below excel as an output.
4. Apache POI library – Reading an Excel file
The below code explains how to read an Excel file using Apache POI libraries. The function getCellTypeEnum is deprecated in version 3.15 and will be renamed to getCellType from version 4.0 onwards.
ApachePOIExcelRead.java
package com.mkyong;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class ApachePOIExcelRead {
private static final String FILE_NAME = "/tmp/MyFirstExcel.xlsx";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
FileInputStream excelFile = new FileInputStream(new File(FILE_NAME));
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(excelFile);
Sheet datatypeSheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
Iterator<Row> iterator = datatypeSheet.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
Row currentRow = iterator.next();
Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = currentRow.iterator();
while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
Cell currentCell = cellIterator.next();
//getCellTypeEnum shown as deprecated for version 3.15
//getCellTypeEnum ill be renamed to getCellType starting from version 4.0
if (currentCell.getCellTypeEnum() == CellType.STRING) {
System.out.print(currentCell.getStringCellValue() + "--");
} else if (currentCell.getCellTypeEnum() == CellType.NUMERIC) {
System.out.print(currentCell.getNumericCellValue() + "--");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
On executing the above code, you get the below output.
Datatype--Type--Size(in bytes)--
int--Primitive--2.0--
float--Primitive--4.0--
double--Primitive--8.0--
char--Primitive--1.0--
String--Non-Primitive--No fixed size--

I downloaded the report form SQL into a CSV file that contains string fields a BLOB message and that has XML. I tried to write this to Excel but ht BLOB message got splitted into many lines, i could not set it into a single cell. is there possibility for this in java?
i am getting below error

Writing to excel works fine. thank you so much.
Thanks you so much; the logical flow has worked.
You need to update your code, I have taken and it is not working, throwing errors. It wasted my time.
poi 4.x is not really working to read xlsx file and getting “java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: InputStream of class class org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile$1 is not implementing InputStreamStatistics”
at: workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(new InputStream(file));
Do we have any solution?
if .dot file convert html is it possible?
sorry, i found the answer
for (int i = 0; i < wb.getNumberOfSheets(); i++) {
Sheet datatypeSheet = workbook.getSheetAt(i);
}
how about the excel has multiple sheet?
Just FYI:
The type org.apache.poi.POIXMLDocument cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
i am also getting this problem
I m getting all the data line by line in output. I need it to be printed in row and column wise as it is in excel

How can we handle non english strings like hindi text or thai text while reading excel sheets?
In the version of 3.9 of poi dependency you have to use “Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING” or “Cell.CELL_TYPE_x” instead of “CellType.x” in which x may equal to BLANK, BOOLEAN, ERROR, FORMULA, NUMERIC OR STRING
For the ones who didn’t understand here is the example;
if (cell.getCellType() == Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING) {
// your code
}
Thanks Buddy
What are the jars required?
This dependency is required for Apache POI.
org.apache.poi
poi

When writing large Excel files there’s also SXSSFWorkbook. It’s a streaming version of XSSFWorkbook with a lower memory footprint.
Thanks for your SXSSFWorkbook suggestion.
SXSSFWorkbook stores in temporary file. Is there a solution to avoid this ? on server security is issue if we have temp files.
