I am using Apache POI to create new XSSFWorkbook from an existing one, after updating some values. Suppose I have two worksheets (Lets say: worksheet A & B) in my existing workbook. Worksheet B has some cell reference from Worksheet A. IF i modify those cell values of worksheet A and save them as a new workbook, corresponding cell values of worksheet B should be updated too. But it doesn't. How can i update them programmatically? . Thank you.
My code:
public void createExcel(ClientData cd) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException, InvalidFormatException{
// create a new file
double[] dataHolder1= cd.getFinalData1(), param1 = cd.getRecord1Param();
double[] dataHolder2 = cd.getFinalData2(), param2 = cd.getRecord2Param();
double[] ncv = cd.getNcv();
String[] pname = cd.getName();
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(OPCPackage.open(new FileInputStream("template/mncv.xlsx"))); // or sample.xls
//CreationHelper createHelper = workbook.getCreationHelper();
Sheet s=workbook.getSheetAt(0);
int counter = dataHolder1.length + param1.length +param2.length+dataHolder2.length;//+ param1.length + param2.length;
// r = s.getRow(0);
// r.getCell(0).setCellValue("Param1");
// r.getCell(1).setCellValue("Record1");
// r.getCell(2).setCellValue("Param2");
// r.getCell(3).setCellValue("Record2");
int i;
for(i=0;i<counter;i++){
if(i<param1.length){
for(int j=0;j<param1.length;j++){
r = s.getRow(i);
r.getCell(0).setCellValue(param1[j]);
i++;
}
}else if(i<dataHolder1.length+param1.length && i>=param1.length){
for(int j=0;j<dataHolder1.length;j++){
r = s.getRow(i);
r.getCell(0).setCellValue(dataHolder1[j]);
i++;
}
}else if(i<dataHolder1.length+param1.length+param2.length && i>=dataHolder1.length+param1.length){
for(int j=0;j<param2.length;j++){
r = s.getRow(i);
r.getCell(0).setCellValue(param2[j]);
i++;
}
}else{
for(int j=0;j<dataHolder2.length;j++){
r = s.getRow(i);
r.getCell(0).setCellValue(dataHolder2[j]);
i++;
}
}
// if(i<=param1.length){
// r.getCell(0).setCellValue(param1[i-1]);
// r.getCell(2).setCellValue(param2[i-1]);
//
// }
// r.getCell(0).setCellValue(param1[i]);
//r.getCell(3).setCellValue(dataHolder2[i-1]);
i--;
}
for(int k=0;k<ncv.length;k++){
r = s.getRow(i);
r.getCell(0).setCellValue(ncv[k]);
i++;
}
s = workbook.getSheetAt(1);
s.getRow(2).getCell(5).setCellValue(pname[0]+" "+pname[1]+" "+pname[2]);
s.getRow(3).getCell(5).setCellValue(cd.getAge());
s.getRow(4).getCell(5).setCellValue(cd.getGender());
try (FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("workbook.xlsx")) {
//WorkbookEvaluator we = new WorkbookEvaluator(workbook);
workbook.write(out);
out.close();
XSSFFormulaEvaluator.evaluateAllFormulaCells((XSSFWorkbook) workbook);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
