POI Excel RecordFormatException

I'm getting a recordformatexception when I try to open an excel file using poi. My class works with other xls files, but the one I want to use crashes at runtime. Maybe someone can decipher the stack trace and help me out.

Hi All,
I am using POI excel files and this is my code to create an excel sheet.
for(i=0;i<i<files.length();i++)
String excel=excelFiles[i]
Date date= new Date();
int rowCount= 45;
Sample samp=new Sample();
samp.createWorkbookForLogReport(excel,date,rowCount);
    private HSSFWorkbook createWorkbookForLogReport(String excel,Date date,int rowCount) throws IOException {
        HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
        HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("new sheet");
        int idx = 0; // rows index
        HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow((short)idx);
        idx++;
        String[] attributessss =
        { "ExcelName", "Date and Time", "RowCount" };
        for (int j = 0; j < attributessss.length; j++) {
            attribute = attributessss[j];

Jakata POI excel: get column name

Hi All
Is there a way I can get column name where a particular cell is: (In excel spreadsheet)
Ex: If I have column number 2: I should get "C" ( given col numbers are 0 based).
Please let me know.
Thanks
bib

It's not as easy as it might seem, since the letter sequence system is not compatible with common numeric sequence system.
See here:

Regarding Excel file reading

HI All,
I am trying to read a EXCEL file from Jakarta POI Excel Api.All works fine.But When the reading file if the cell value is like 74100000000000 I am getting the output like this 7.41E13.Even i formatted the cell to the number,Text etc But no luck

All right, I'm the first to admit things need to be "dumbed down" for me.
One of my problems with technology in general is that too often it is assumed one is born with some specialized knowledge.
When I clicked on the above link, my first thought was, "What does POI stand for?"
I searched the site for a definition and also "googled" it.
Nothing.
My second thought was that it seems another layer of software, which looks just as complex as Java itself, is required to be able to read a spreadsheet. Why is there no package equivalent to java.sql? Is this just another result of the old battle between Sun and Microsoft and the browser wars of the nineties?

Error While trying to Convert a Date Value to string in POI API (Excel)

Hi
How can I convet a date value in excel to string value ? I am using POI API for excel sheet reading in JSP .

Hello Esther,
the problem seems to be that the temp folder of the target Integration Builder system can't be found:
'The system cannot find the path specified
at [..] FileAccess.getTempDirectory([..])'.
You'll experience the same problem if you try a file based import or export within the Integration Builder directly.
I would recommend to continue the search there. You could check if the environment variables (for Windows: TEMP and TMP) of the OS of the system with the target Integration Builder to an existing path. Check also if the WebAs can access this path.
Good luck
Frank

Error reading excel file using POI.

Hi ,
I am having some problem when reading the excel file.
While reading excel file I am getting error-java.io.IOException: Unable to read entire block; 4 bytes read; expected 512 bytes.
part of my code:-
InputStream stream = objFormFile.getInputStream();
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(stream);//getting above error here.
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
Case 1:
I download the file on the system ,save it ,and then directly upload it to the system ,I get the above error .
Case 2:
It works fine if I download the excel and manually open and save it and then upload it .
I am using JDK1.4.1 and poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar.
Can any one please help me out for the above problem?
Edited by: hruday on Jul 31, 2008 3:20 AM

Instead of using POIFSFileSystem, try to directly create the HSSFWorkbook
InputStream stream = objFormFile.getInputStream();
//POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem( stream );//getting above error here.
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook( stream );

Formatting Error While Reading Excel File using POI 2.5 Final Related

Hi All,
I am using poi-2.5-final-20040302.jar for my project to create excel files.
My system is having Microsoft Excel 2002 (SP-2) version, but my client is having Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (SP-3).
My problem is that I can download the excel file with no formatting issues , but client is not able to download the same and is getting error as
"Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible.Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data might have been lost or corrupted".
After getting above error message, they can open the file but the colours,fonts ie formatting will be lost and only data will be available in excel.
Can anyone help how to sort out ths issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Ravi

Sound like the Excel file is invalid... Maybe its outdated or corrupted or something. What would we know about that? POI has a mailing list.
