Public static void main( String args) throws FileNotFoundException, * This example particularly read Excel file in OLE format i.e. * Simple Java Program to read and write dates from Excel file in Java.
In this program, reading and writing logic are encapsulated into two static utility methods readFromExcel() and writeIntoExcel(), so you can also take a look at them for exact code for reading writing XLS file in Java. Below is the JAVA code to read and write the Xlsx file using POI library.
Step-3 : Write the date in that sheet and then after download that sheet. Step-2 : Read the Sheet using POI library. Step-1 : Download the JAR of POI library. So always compare type of a cell with date value to a numeric cell type. The POI library is to read the Sheet and then after you can write the data in that sheet using this library.
If you are reading date values then just one more thing to remember that there is no cell with date type and Excel stores date as a numeric type.
It is done by using importing jxl jar files which can be found here.
JARS on which POI library is internally dependent. Below is a code snippet for reading a specific cell from Excel using Java. poi.jar and poi-ooxml.jar but also download transitive dependency e.g.
Main advantage of using Maven is that it not only downloads direct dependency e.g. If you are using Maven then include following two dependencies to use Apache POI in your Java program : In order to use this library either you need to download POI JAR files and add into your Eclipse's build path manually or you can use Maven to download dependency for you. You can read both types of Excel file format using this library. JXL, the most feature rich and most popular one is Apache POI library. Though there are couple of open source library available to read and write from Excel file in Java e.g. Apache POI JARs to Read/Write Excel File in Java
