I want to get cell value according to the particular column name and row name.
This is the code that I have written to achieve it. It's working fine for the first sheet in the workbook but giving me Null pointer exception for the other sheet in the same workbook.

fis = new FileInputStream(path);
workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis);
}
public String getCellData(String sheetName, String testDataType, String testDataID) throws IOException {
sheet = workbook.getSheet(sheetName);
int i;
for(i=0;i<=sheet.getRow(0).getLastCellNum(); i++) {
row = sheet.getRow(0);
cell = row.getCell(i);
if(cell.getStringCellValue().equalsIgnoreCase(testDataType)) {
break;
}
}
for(int j=0; j<=sheet.getLastRowNum();j++) {
row = sheet.getRow(j);
cell= row.getCell(0);
DataFormatter df2 = new DataFormatter();
String valueAsString = df2.formatCellValue(cell);
if(testDataID.equals(valueAsString)) {
break;
}
}
cell=row.getCell(i);
String S= cell.getStringCellValue();
fis.close();
return S;
}
}
I am able to read data from excel sheet. However, when I am trying to enter data value from excel sheet into web application it is throwing error message GetCell is not allowing in the eclipse.
please use below code, it will work.

Requirement
i need to open excel file. Then i need to check for the date(12/31/2014). If this exist in the file then i need replace with 11/28/2014. Actually excel file is containing the date. But in my code is never passing this condition if (df.format(DateUtil.getJavaDate(cell.getNumericCellValue())).equals(df.format(asOfDate))) {.
Here is the code:

Logging is a key to find your answers.
As I look into the Cell class, I see there is a method named :
getDateCellCalue()
When we look at the setter of that :
void setCellValue(java.util.Date value)
Converts the supplied date to its equivalent Excel numeric value and sets that into the cell.
So you are not comparing correct.
Mine quick suggestion is :
if (df.format(cell.getDateCellValue()).equals(df.format(asOfDate)))
If this doesn't work, put logging on what the df.format(cell.getDateCellValue() produces as String.
Edit :
Did you also noticed this :
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date asOfDate = df.parse("12/31/2014");
Your second date is MM/dd/yyyy
I've created this code and The PoiReadExcelFile class will read in the 'poi-test.xls' file into an HSSFWorkbook object. The 'POI Worksheet' will then be read into an HSSFWorksheet object, and then the values within the A1, B1, C1, and D1 cells will be read and displayed to standard output.

When i ran this code i got this:
Usage: BiffDrawingToXml [options] inputWorkbook
Options:
-exclude-workbook exclude workbook-level records
-sheet-indexes output sheets with specified indexes
-sheet-namek output sheets with specified name
What's the problem?
Please run the class file using right click run option. The above message while come when the only JAR file is getting run.
I am new to Java POI and i am trying to overwrite an excel file using Java POI.Let me make it clear, i don't want to open a new .xls file every time time i build the code however the code i wrote does it that way.The purpose for this is to, i will build the chart on excel and read the values for the chart from the database and write it to the excel file by using Java POI.Here is my code:
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet firstSheet = workbook.createSheet("oldu");
HSSFSheet secondSheet = workbook.createSheet("oldu2");
HSSFRow rowA = firstSheet.createRow(6);
HSSFCell cellA = rowA.createCell(3);
cellA.setCellValue(new HSSFRichTextString("100"));
cellA.setCellValue(100);
HSSFRow rowB = secondSheet.createRow(0);
HSSFCell cellB = rowB.createCell(0);
cellB.setCellValue(new HSSFRichTextString("200"));
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("CreateExcelDemo.xls"));
workbook.write(fos);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (fos != null) {
try {
fos.flush();
fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Always use the same filename and when you run the program it will overwrite the file.
EDIT
If you want to modify an existing excel file then have a look HERE and scroll down to the section on "Reading or Modifying an existing file".
The problem is Apache POI doesn't support all features of Excel file format, including charts. So can not generate a chart with POI and when opening an existing Excel file with POI and modifying it, some of the current "objects" in the Excel file could be lost, as POI can't handle it and when writing, writes only the new information generated and existing one that can handle.
This is assumed by Apache as one of the flaws of POI.
We done similar processing of existing Excel file, filling new data onto it, but the existing Excel file contains only formatting styles and they are preserved using POI, but I think charts are very problematic. Trying ti filling data to update an existing chart is not possible with POI.
