I'm using the Apache POI library, but I have some data that I don't want to be read - So I need the program to start reading the file from a specific row.
I want all the data from the cells and rows which comes after row 10, until the document is empty. I have tried with the following code.
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(inputStream);
Sheet firstSheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
Iterator<Row> iterator = firstSheet.iterator();
Row getSchool = firstSheet.getRow(10);
Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = getSchool.cellIterator();
while (iterator.hasNext())
{
while (cellIterator.hasNext())
{
...
}
}
But it will only give me all the data from the cells in row 10.
I'll be looking forward to hear from you :-).
You're only getting the data from row 11 here:
Row getSchool = firstSheet.getRow(10);
See the documentation for Sheet.getRow(int rownum)
Returns the logical row (not physical) 0-based.
If you ask for a row that is not defined you get a null. This is to
say row 4 represents the fifth row on a sheet.
Check the examples in the documentation on how to Iterate over rows and cells.
You can use something like:
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(inputStream);
Sheet firstSheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
for (Row row : firstSheet) {
for (Cell cell : row) {
// Do something here
}
}
If you want to iterate over all cells in a row check how to Iterate over cells, with control of missing / blank cells.
The CellIterator
will only return the cells defined in the file, which is largely those with values or stylings, but it depends on Excel.
You could specify a Row.MissingCellPolicy as:
Row.getCell(int, MissingCellPolicy)
Here's an example:
int lastColumn = Math.max(row.getLastCellNum(), MY_MINIMUM_COLUMN_COUNT);
for (int cn = 0; cn < lastColumn; cn++) {
Cell c = row.getCell(cn, Row.RETURN_BLANK_AS_NULL);
if (c == null) {
// The spreadsheet is empty in this cell
} else {
// Do something useful with the cell's contents
}
}
Refer below:
String fileName = "D:\\TestScripts.xls"; // file
POIFSFileSystem fileSystem = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream(fileName));
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fileSystem);
// HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0); //Get first Excel Sheet
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("SheetName"); //Get data as per sheet name
for (Row row : sheet) { // For each Row.
Cell cell = row.getCell(0); // Get the Cell at the Index / Column you want.
if(cell.getStringCellValue().equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
System.out.println(cell.getRow().getLastCellNum());
for(int i=0;i<=cell.getRow().getLastCellNum()-1;i++) {
System.out.println(cell.getRow().getCell(i));
}
}
}
Remove below condition if you are not looking for any particular column data
if(cell.getStringCellValue().equalsIgnoreCase("test"))
