Apache Poi Read and Write Excel

This document provides code examples for reading from and writing to Excel files using Apache POI in Java. It first shows how to read data from an Excel file by getting the file type, opening the workbook, getting the sheet, and iterating through rows and cells to print values. It then demonstrates writing to an Excel file by creating a new row, filling it with sample data, and saving the workbook. The main methods call the readExcel and writeExcel functions respectively to perform the file operations.

Read data from Excel file

Complete Example: Here we are trying to read data from excel file
package excelExportAndFileIO;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;

import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row;

import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet;

import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;

import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;

public class ReadGuru99ExcelFile {

public void readExcel(String filePath,String fileName,String sheetName) throws


IOException{

//Create a object of File class to open xlsx file

File file =

new File(filePath+"\\"+fileName);

//Create an object of FileInputStream class to read excel file

FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);

Workbook guru99Workbook = null;

//Find the file extension by spliting file name in substring and getting only extension
name

String fileExtensionName = fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf("."));

//Check condition if the file is xlsx file

if(fileExtensionName.equals(".xlsx")){

//If it is xlsx file then create object of XSSFWorkbook class

guru99Workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(inputStream);

//Check condition if the file is xls file

else if(fileExtensionName.equals(".xls")){

//If it is xls file then create object of XSSFWorkbook class

guru99Workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(inputStream);

//Read sheet inside the workbook by its name

Sheet guru99Sheet = guru99Workbook.getSheet(sheetName);

//Find number of rows in excel file

int rowCount = guru99Sheet.getLastRowNum()-guru99Sheet.getFirstRowNum();

//Create a loop over all the rows of excel file to read it

for (int i = 0; i < rowCount+1; i++) {

Row row = guru99Sheet.getRow(i);

//Create a loop to print cell values in a row

for (int j = 0; j < row.getLastCellNum(); j++) {

//Print excel data in console

System.out.print(row.getCell(j).getStringCellValue()+"|| ");

System.out.println();

//Main function is calling readExcel function to read data from excel file

public static void main(String...strings) throws IOException{

//Create a object of ReadGuru99ExcelFile class

ReadGuru99ExcelFile objExcelFile = new ReadGuru99ExcelFile();

//Prepare the path of excel file

String filePath = System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\src\\excelExportAndFileIO";

//Call read file method of the class to read data

objExcelFile.readExcel(filePath,"ExportExcel.xlsx","ExcelGuru99Demo");

Write data on Excel file
Complete Example: Here we are trying to write data from excel file by adding
new row in excel file
package excelExportAndFileIO;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;

import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;

public class WriteGuru99ExcelFile {

public void writeExcel(String filePath,String fileName,String sheetName,String[]


dataToWrite) throws IOException{

//Create a object of File class to open xlsx file

File file =

Workbook guru99Workbook = null;

//Find the file extension by spliting file name in substing and getting only extension
name

String fileExtensionName = fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf("."));

//Check condition if the file is xlsx file

if(fileExtensionName.equals(".xlsx")){

else if(fileExtensionName.equals(".xls")){

//If it is xls file then create object of XSSFWorkbook class

guru99Workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(inputStream);

//Read excel sheet by sheet name

Sheet sheet = guru99Workbook.getSheet(sheetName);

//Get the current count of rows in excel file

int rowCount = sheet.getLastRowNum()-sheet.getFirstRowNum();

//Get the first row from the sheet

Row row = sheet.getRow(0);

//Create a new row and append it at last of sheet

Row newRow = sheet.createRow(rowCount+1);

for(int j = 0; j < row.getLastCellNum(); j++){

//Fill data in row

Cell cell = newRow.createCell(j);

cell.setCellValue(dataToWrite[j]);

//Close input stream

inputStream.close();

//Create an object of FileOutputStream class to create write data in excel file

FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);

//write data in the excel file

guru99Workbook.write(outputStream);

//close output stream

outputStream.close();

public static void main(String...strings) throws IOException{

//Create an array with the data in the same order in which you expect to be filled in
excel file

String[] valueToWrite = {"Mr. E","Noida"};

//Create an object of current class

//Write the file using file name , sheet name and the data to be filled
