I am referencing the version 3.7 of the Apache POI and I am getting a "cannot be resolved" error when I do:
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
Other import statements that reference POI DO NOT give me errors, such as:
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
Any ideas??
For OOXML to work you need the POI-OOXML jar which is separately packaged from the POI jar.
Download the POI-OOXML jar from the following location -
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/poi/poi-ooxml/3.11/poi-ooxml-3.11.jar
For Maven2 add the below dependency -
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.11</version>
</dependency>
The classes for the OOXML file formats (such as XSSF for .xlsx) are in a different Jar file. You need to include the poi-ooxml jar in your project, along with the dependencies for it
You can get a list of all the components and their dependencies on the POI website here.
What you probably want to do is download the 3.11 binary package, grab the poi-ooxml jar from it, and the dependencies in the ooxml-lib directory. Import these into your project and you'll be sorted.
Alternately, if you use Maven, you can see here for the list of the artificats you'll want to depend on, but it'd want to be something like:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.11</version>
</dependency>
The poi-ooxml maven dependency will pull in the main POI jar and the dependencies for you automatically. If you want to work with the non-spreadsheet formats, you'd also want to depend on the poi-scratchpad artifact too, as detailed on the POI components page
If you use Maven:
poi => poi-ooxml in artifactId
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.12</version>
</dependency>
I added below contents in app "build.gradle"
implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi:4.0.0'
implementation 'org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml:4.0.0'
Problem: While importing the " org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook"class showing an error in eclipse.
Solution: Use This maven dependency to resolve this problem:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.15</version>
</dependency>

1) imported all the JARS from POI folder 2) Imported all the JARS from ooxml folder which a subdirectory of POI folder 3) Imported all the JARS from lib folder which is a subdirectory of POI folder

I had the same problem, so I dug through the poi-3.17.jar file and there was no xssf package inside.
I then went through the other files and found xssf int the poi-ooxml-3.17.jar
So it seems the solutions is to add
poi-ooxml-3.17.jar
to your project, as that seems to make it work (for me at least)
You did not described the environment, anyway, you should download apache poi libraries. If you are using eclipse , right click on your root project , so properties and in java build path add external jar and import in your project those libraries :
xmlbeans-2.6.0 ; poi-ooxml-schemas- ... ; poi-ooxml- ... ; poi- .... ;
I needed the following files for my implementation:
(though honestly, I'm not completely sure they are all necessary...) It's a little confusing because they are packaged that way. I needed to place them manually in my own "lib" folder and then add the references...
Maven always seems to download more than I need, so I always place libaries/dlls and things like that manually.
After trying multiple things,what really worked was: 1. downloading "poi" and "poi-ooxml" manually 2.Adding these d/w jars into "Maven Dependencies"
