Searching Specific Excel Cell using Java Apache POI

I am using Apache POI API to read Excel file and check the quantity of products available or not. I am successfully reading excel file using below code but I am unable to read the specific cell (Quantity Column) to check weather asked product is available or not

public class ReadingExcel {

private static String shoeName = "Roshe One";
private static String colour = "Black";
private static String size = "9.0";
private static String quantity;
public static void main(String [] args){

Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(excelFile);
Sheet datatypeSheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
DataFormatter dataFormatter = new DataFormatter();
Iterator<Row> iterator = datatypeSheet.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
Row currentRow = iterator.next();
Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = currentRow.iterator();
while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
String cellValue = dataFormatter.formatCellValue(cell);
System.out.print(cellValue + "\t\t");
}
System.out.println();
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
this is my excel file

using opencsv 4.1 i do this
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;
...
try (InputStream excelFile = new FileInputStream(new File(fileName));
Workbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(excelFile);) {
for (int numSheet = 0; numSheet < wb.getNumberOfSheets(); numSheet++) {
Sheet xssfSheet = wb.getSheetAt(numSheet);
xssfSheet.forEach(row -> {
Cell cell = row.getCell(0);
if (cell != null) {
if(StringUtils.isNumeric(cell.getStringCellValue())){
// Use here cell.getStringCellValue()
}
}
});
}
}

Use below for loop:
for(int r=sh.getFirstRowNum()+1; r<=sh.getLastRowNum(); r++){ //iterating through all the rows of excel
Row currentRow = sh.getRow(r); //get r'th row
Cell quantityCell = currentRow.getCell(4); //assuming your quantity cell will always be at position 4; if that is not the case check for the header value first
String currentCellValue = quantityCell.getStringCellValue();
if(currentCellValue.equalsIgnoreCase(<value you want to campare with>))
//<do your further actions here>
else
//do your further actions here
}

Apache POI Java Read using Member Class Variable

Hi how can i create dynamic objects in a loop to store multiple values in the object. Then access those objects to manipulate.
Is it possible to give dynamic variable names for object creation. Can i give dynamic values of variable on the left hand side of an assignment. Please ask me to edit if the question is not clear, if solution already available please point me out to that.

public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Member> listOfMembers = new ArrayList<Member>();
try {
FileInputStream excelFile = new FileInputStream(new File(FILE_READ));
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(excelFile);
Sheet datatypeSheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
Iterator<Row> iterator = datatypeSheet.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
Row currentRow = iterator.next();
Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = currentRow.iterator();
int i=0;
while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
Member [member+i] = new Member();
QUESTION: I want to create dynamic objects here and store the values below dynamically. How to approach this.
Cell currentCell = cellIterator.next();
if (currentCell.getCellTypeEnum() == CellType.STRING) {
System.out.print(currentCell.getStringCellValue() + "--");
} else if (currentCell.getCellTypeEnum() == CellType.NUMERIC) {
System.out.print(currentCell.getNumericCellValue() + "--");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

You can use map.
DynamicObject
DynamicObject {
prvate Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap();
public void addPropery(String key, Object value) {
map.put(key, value);
}
}
Your code
private void processRow(Row row) {
while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
dynamicObjects[member+i] = new DynamicObject();
DynamicObject dynamicObject = dynamicObjects[member+i];
Cell currentCell = cellIterator.next();
if (currentCell.getCellTypeEnum() == CellType.STRING) {
System.out.print(currentCell.getStringCellValue() + "--");
dynamicObject.addProperty("stringField", currentCell.getStringCellValue());
} else if (currentCell.getCellTypeEnum() == CellType.NUMERIC) {
System.out.print(currentCell.getNumericCellValue() + "--");
dynamicObject.addProperty("numericField", currentCell.getNumericCellValue());
}
}
}
Then you can traverse keys of the map to get all possible values. You can also store other objects(for example, as nested maps) inside the map as values.

Create Zip File on Disk from Memory File

First of all, Please Pardon me for Poor Coding!
Requirement:
1. Create xls/xlsx Report in Memory from Database ResultSet (ie. Plain Text File should not be written to Disk).
2.Create ZIP on Disk From the xlsx file in Memory.
Environment:
WinXP SP2, JDK1.6_06, Zip4j1.3.1, poi3.8
I am using Apache's POI and Zip4j and am following Mr.Shrikant's Example published at "http://www.lingala.net/zip4j/forum/index.php?topic=257.0"
Observations:
1. This program Writes 27,842 bytes xlsx file to disk for sample data.
2. The same Workbook Creates ByteArrayOutputStream,baoStream of size is 49022bytes
3. After Encryption and Zipping It Creates File of Size 43,084 bytes.
4. While Extracting Zip file,
a) WinZip, throws Error "UnExpected End of File"
b) Winrar, throws "CRC Error"
Please correct me, wherever I am wrong and improve, wherever I am poor!
Thanks in Advance!

The bug is possible in method writeContentsToZipFile(inMemoryOutputStream), but you didn't post it's source code...
I think the implement of class InMemoryOutputStream is not required, it's not effective and cause more problem.
If you want to save the zip content to File, replace it with FileOutputStream
If you want to save the zip content in memory, replace it with ByteArrayInputStream inMemoryOutputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytesToWrite.length);
Note: The first parameter of zos.putNextEntry(null, parameters) is null.
It works when parameters.setSourceExternalStream(true). Under this mode, file name and other parameters are supplied via ZipParameters.

BiffViewer is part of HSSF, which only works with the older .xls files (OLE2 based). You're generating a .xlsx file with XSSF, which is a different low level format.
If you really want to use BiffViewer (not sure why, it's normally only used with debugging, but still), then you'll need to change your XSSF code to be HSSF code. Otherwise, if you did mean to be using XSSF to generate a .xlsx file, then you can't use the HSSF debugging tools. If you want to know what's in your .xlsx file, unzip it (.xlsx is a zip of xml files) and view the XML.

Overwriting an excel file using Java POI

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.
