Accessing excel from java code

Hello
our system uses reportNet to generate reports. When reports are generated in CSV format we have a problem:
Report consists of people (can be more than one) so under name column we have same name in more than one row. BUT if more than one name is suppose to be in the CSV report then the header (column names row) is again printed.
so for example if i requested rpeort for two names A and B (reportNet uses same template which is executed twice) then report will look like this
Name (header - column name)
A
A
A
A
A
Name (header - column name)
B
B
B
B
I want to be able to remove the second header that comes before B starts.
so i was thinking i would be able to access this excel sheet from java. and keep record of every row. If the row changes from A to B...i delete the previous row (which would end up being the second header).
Can this be done thru java. I havnt before accessed excel sheets from java so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, well CSV is not currently an Excel file, it is a Comma Separated Values
file which can be read through Excel.
Now, if you wish to remove the header, I would purpose that you develop an
application that reads the CSV file, as it is mere text, and that it also reads
another file (lets call it confirguration.txt) in which you determine the pattern
you want to remove, then you just read your report and if a string line
matches the pattern you defined in the configuration.txt file, then you simply
erase it.
And if you keep interested in reading real Excel files (xls), I would
recommend you use POI-HSSF API from Apache.org
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/index.html
Hope this helps, cya around.

Excel from JAVA or C++ -- Urgent -- help

Hi
I know it might not be possible, but i want to use couple of Financial Functions which excel provides within itself.
Is there anyway i can use them from my JAVA or C++ code ?
In short, would it be possible to call excel functions from JAVA or C++ code
TIA
Vikram

Actually you can... In quite a few different ways. You can access any COM or OLE object in windows from within java by using the Java/COm bridge, or purchasing shrink wrapped products... The links are below:
These people provide some very cool solutions for java. This link is specifically for excel.

Reading Excel from Java

Hello,
I would want to read excel data from Java. I do not want to register any excel drivers as I will not be able to know the file to be read before hand. Are there any better ways to solve this ?
Thanks in Advance,
Prasanna

hi prasanna
if you are using jdbc-odbc bridge I would recommend you to test the
program with excel files with varying sizes like 3,5, 12, 20 etc. There
is a some problem with the driver that it chops off some data.
For example if you have 20k excel file the driver may read in 9k chunks so you get 18k of data read and the driver ignores rest 2k.
Make sure of that it works on all sizes of input data.

Hi everybody,
i want to use excel / word functionality from java in two different variants:
-> serverside

I tried the weblogic.comc and i got serveral classes but in the remote-package i got only a utitlity-class.
My knowlege about COM is rather bad.
Does anybody did this bevor and
-> can say me, if it is correct, that i only got a utility-class (so how will i use it from the client ?!)
-> has a example for using Excel / Word from Java in bea weblogic
-> has a example for using Excel / Word directly in a client (not via rmi)
Thanks
Ciao

Invoking MS Excel from Java

HI,
I'm trying to create a standalone application that would need to logon in a database.If the user is a valid one, the user can then choose which table he wanted to update. All the rows of the column will be shown in an excel format. (the program will invoke Excel to show all the records in that table). From that, the user can edit the content and after saving it, data in the databse will also be updated.
Is there any Java API that I can use to make this application possible?
Thanks,

Integrating Excel with Java

Hi,
How can Excel be integrated with Java such that if a user is working on an Excel , my Java application should be able to capture all the events from Excel Sheet.
I have looked into POI, but it seems to me , it can read and wriite to Excel from Java, but i would like that if a user is making changes to a spredsheet then my Java Application should be notified about those changes
In short, i would like to expose front end of a web application in Execl!
Is there any open source package that can help in doing the integration
Kindly share your views/ suggestions

If you just want most of what is occuring in Excel only then there are probably events in the Excel API (OLE >probably) that allow you to modify and react to changes.

Can i use JNI to listen to COM server, probaly if i create some proxies for Excel that use JNI to listen to COM Server.
I found a link on the internet http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-bridge/
This Java bridge can integrate COM objects into their applications. But i am not sure if i can capture the live stuff from an Excel file when somebody is editing it.
Also i would like to know, what should be the best stratergy when i would like to expose the Front end of an application in Excel , since the application involves a lot of numbers and users are more comfortable with Excel interface, and the rest of the application you want in Java.
Kindly share your views on this!

Someone knows the reason of this error and can suggest what to make.
Thanks in advance.

Antonio, maybe you can post this back to the Jacob list. As an alternative to Jacob, what about Apache POI or writing the data as comma-delimited and opening the file using Runtime?
Hope that may help.
Good luck.
