Java – convert resultset to excel (*. Xlsx) table using Apache poi
I'm trying to write the resultset to an excel (*. Xlsx) table using Apache poi
Table object error in Office Excel invalid
However, even if it is written to an excel file without any errors, when I try to open it in Office Excel 2013, it will display errors and delete the table object to provide only a pure data view
This is a rough example code using this example:
public static void writeExcel(ResultSet rs,int sqliteRowCount,String dir) {
System.out.println("Writing Excel(*.xlsx) File...");
XSSFWorkbook workbook = null;
try {
if (rs != null) {
// Get ResultSet MetaData
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
// Number of columns
int numColumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
// Number of rows
// + 1 for headers
int numRows = sqliteRowCount + 1;
workbook = new XSSFWorkbook();
// Create Excel Table
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Text");
XSSFTable table = sheet.createTable();
table.setDisplayName("Test");
CTTable cttable;
cttable = table.getCTTable();
// Style configurations
CTTableStyleInfo style = cttable.addNewTableStyleInfo();
style.setName("TableStyleMedium16");
style.setShowColumnStripes(false);
style.setShowRowStripes(true);
// Set Table Span Area
AreaReference reference = new AreaReference(new CellReference(0,0),new CellReference(numRows - 1,numColumns - 1));
cttable.setRef(reference.formatAsString());
cttable.setId(1);
cttable.setName("Test");
cttable.setDisplayName("Test");
cttable.setTotalsRowCount(numRows);
cttable.setTotalsRowShown(false);
// Create Columns
CTTableColumns columns = cttable.addNewTableColumns();
columns.setCount(numColumns);
// Create Column,Row,Cell Objects
CTTableColumn column;
XSSFRow row;
// Add Header and Columns
XSSFRow headerRow = sheet.createRow(0);
for (int i = 0; i < numColumns; i++) {
column = columns.addNewTableColumn();
column.setName("Column" + (i + 1));
column.setId(i + 1);
headerRow.createCell(i).setCellValue(rsmd.getColumnLabel(i + 1));
}
// Write each row from ResultSet
int rowNumber = 1;
while (rs.next()) {
row = sheet.createRow(rowNumber);
for (int y = 0; y < numColumns; y++) {
row.createCell(y).setCellValue(rs.getString(y + 1));
}
rowNumber++;
}
// Set AutoFilter
CTAutoFilter fltr = CTAutoFilter.Factory.newInstance();
fltr.setRef((new AreaReference(new CellReference(0,numColumns - 1))).formatAsString());
cttable.setAutoFilter(fltr);
// sheet.setAutoFilter(CellRangeAddress.valueOf((new AreaReference(new CellReference(0,numColumns - 1))).formatAsString()));
// Freeze Pan
sheet.createFreezePane(0,1,2);
}
} catch (sqlException ex) {
System.out.println("sql Error while writing Excel file!");
} finally {
try {
// Let's write the excel file Now
if (workbook != null) {
String excelDir = dir + File.separator + "workbook.xlsx";
try (final FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(excelDir)) {
workbook.write(out);
}
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("IO Error while writing Excel summary file!");
}
}
}
I know there is something wrong with my code, but I can't figure it out Any idea why this happens, there may be an error in my code
Update 1:
If you create using Apache POI, use the table XML file in the excel archive
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <table displayName="Test" ref="A1:B881" id="1" name="Test" totalsRowCount="881" xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" totalsRowShown="0"><autoFilter ref="A1:B881"/><tableColumns count="2"><tableColumn name="ID" id="1"/><tableColumn name="Name" id="2"/><tableStyleInfo name="TableStyleMedium2" showColumnStripes="true" showRowStripes="true"/></table>
If you create a table manually, use the table XML file in the excel archive
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <table xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" id="1" name="Table1" displayName="Table1" ref="A1:B881" totalsRowShown="0"><autoFilter ref="A1:B881"/><tableColumns count="2"><tableColumn id="1" name="ID"/><tableColumn id="2" name="Name"/></tableColumns><tableStyleInfo name="TableStyleLight9" showFirstColumn="0" showLastColumn="0" showRowStripes="1" showColumnStripes="0"/></table>
In addition, if I open the excel archive, it does not have a theme folder in the theme folder created by Apache POI, but it exists in the theme folder manually created in Office Excel Strange
Update 2: sample executable code (using NetBeans):

Solution
What's wrong with your code is that there is a line "Cttable.settotalsrowcount (NumRows);" Delete it and everything will work If in doubt, compare the XML definitions of some worksheets created manually in Excel with those created using Apache poi
