POI HSSF Excel 2002 Data error

Hello,
I'm using HSSF 3.0.2 Final version to create an excel document from java.
This document contains pictures and some text under each picture in a row below. There are four sheets in the workbook and each contains about 30-40 pictures.
I can create document fine and I can open it with Excel 2000,
but when I try to open it with Excel 2002 and gives me data error.
My understanding is that 2002 is supported and it seems to be a simple enough document without any fancy features
Any idea what could be wrong?

You can post your error and excel file to poi's mailing list.

PDF to Excel- internal data errors

We have Acrobat XI and we converted a PDF document to Excel. It looked like it worked properly. However, we discovered when trying to sort the date field, that some of the dates became corrupted in Excel . It affected the stored values of the dates, not what you see on the worksheet. For example, 1/1/12 became 1-12-2001; 2/1/12 became 1-12-2002. So obviously when we tried to sort on the date field, our results did not look correct. Please note that not every date field is corrupted. Many of them are fine..
We tried testing to see if the date fields were text, but they are not. We tried changing cell formats. We tried going into Excel Options and checking "precision as displayed"
We had 2 users in different departments try it and got the same results.

This is not an Adobe Reader problem; it may not even be an Acrobat (or Excel problem).
The problem is ambiguous date formats; what does 1/1/12 really mean? Computers and software do not have much ability to compare an ambiguous date with surrounding dates that are more obvious.
The best solution is to use clear date formats like 2012-01-01 or 2012/01/01.
Another possibility is to check if Acrobat can be made to change or identify the date format before the conversion. For this you best ask in the Acrobat forum.

POI- HSSF Excel Page Orientation

Hello
Does anyone know if you can set the page orientation of an Excel sheet using POI's HSSF?
Thanks in advance
ive

Refer to the POI documentation http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/apidocs/index.html
HSSFSheet.getPrintSetup() will give the page settings as a HSSFPrintSetup object. There are setter methods available to orient the page as you need.

Excel - POI-HSSF - HTML

Hey guys,
Im looking for a way to copy an excel file and convert it into a html file. I have found a way to read excel files using POI-HSSF (Fantastic tool by the way). What Im wondering is now that I have the worksheets contents stored in java is there any kind of library that you would recommend that might generate the tables ripped from Excel to HTML automatically?
Thanks for your help in advance
Valehru

YoGee,
Thanks for the response. Im afraid that the client has insisted that I convert the document to html. I presume that if it was streamed out that it would open an excel worksheet in the browser itself?
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Personally id prefer that they use openoffice and just convert the thing to a pdf but as they say the customer is always right. Im pretty sure that It will take me a fair bit of time trying to parse the data I receive via HSSF into proper valid HTML which looks similar if not identical to the data in the excel file.
Thanks again for your reply

Thats my connection string

You can try an OLEDB provider in that case
see

Excel File Management Apache POI HSSF vs. jxl jar

I've been reviewing Java technologies for managing Excel files, and I'm a little confused about the differences between Apache's POI HSSF implementation and JExcelApi, and utimately what technology it makes sense to use.
They are both open source, although POI is backed by Apache, where JExcelApi seems to be open source developed by Andy Khan. It seem Apache has a little more weight, therefore may be a better option.
Can someone who has exposure to these technologies please provide me with some insight.
Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for your reply,
Now I hav used an alternate approach of using Apache POI.
But.......
I have created simple table in jsp and set content type to
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
when i navigate to this jsp it is getting displayed in excel format.
I wish if user clicks on to navigate for this jsp, he must get an option to either open, save or cancel the jsp.
Then on selecting save a dialogue gets appeared where he can select path and file name.
Please comment.
Thanks.

Inserting an Image in Excel with POI HSSF

Has anyone been successful creating an Excel document with an
embedded image using POI HSSF?
Create a nicely formatted Excel is no, problem - but I can't
seem to figure the image part out. I am not calling the loadPicture
correctly, which is confusing CF.
<cfset patriarch = newSheet.createDrawingPatriarch()/>
<cfset patriarch.createPicture(createObject("java",
"org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFClientAnchor").init(),
loadPicture("asset/images/logo_e2eA.png",
workSheet))/>

MinOP wrote:

You did not mention which version of POI. Did you verify your
version supports the patriarch.createPicture method? If you are
using a really old version it might not.
> loadPicture("asset/images/logo_e2eA.png",
workSheet))/>
Does the code actually have access to a loadPicture() method
or function? I think loadPicture() is a private method in one of
the example classes: org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.examples.*. So
you may have to write your own version of it. Assuming you have not
done so already...

Error when opening BIP 10.1.3.3 Excel output in Excel 2002

We have BIP 10.1.3.3 and Excel 2002 in use. When generating Excel output with BIP, we always get an error in Excel that the generated file can't be opened. Access is denied because of some error with resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'. (Unfortunately, I only get a German error message).
Does anyone has an idea, how to change settings in BIP or Excel to work around this error?
Thanks in advance!
Marco

Hi Tim,
the German error message is:
Diese Datei kann nicht geöffnet werden, weil:
Zugriff verweigert
Fehler beim Bearbeiten der Ressource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'.
Zeile 3, Position 57.
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
It seems, that Excel 2002 can't do anything with this DOCTYPE. But what would be a workaround?
Best regards,
Marco

I am using apache's poi hssf api to generate an excel file. Is there any way I can FREEZE PANES of excel sheet.

You're wanting to make certain areas of your spreadsheet un-editable, yes? POI currently does not support this, as mentioned in the FAQ: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/faq.html#faq-5 .

POI-HSSF or Cocoon?

Hi,
In our system we have one webb client and one Java application client.
They both comunicate with the server through 2 difftrent servlets.
Now I want to implement a method that creates Excel-files on the
server that both the clients can call.
I have found information about POI in this forum. When I went to
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/index.html to check it out I read a
recomendation to use Cocoon instead:
"If you're modifying spreadsheet data then use the usermodel api. You can also generate spreadsheets this way, but using Cocoon (which will do it this way indirectly) is the best way...we promise."
So I read about Cocoon too and now I am really confused!!!
Will they stop developing POI-HSSF?
Is Cocoon only for webb aplication?
Can someone please help me?
:-)Lisa

I thought Cocoon was a tool for transforming XML into something else. You can probably use Cocoon's ability to transform XML (using POI) into Excel I guess, but Cocoon is not a tool to create Excel spreasheets no.

Hi, for some reason the BI FAQs on SDN are not up-to-date. I will investigate and make sure they are refreshed asap.
You always find the up-to-date FAQs on SAP Service Marketplace /bifaq. There you see the correct answer:
Which versions of Microsoft Office are supported by SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) BI Business Explorer (BEx)?

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!
