Note that Excel allows sheet names up to 31 chars in length but other applications (such as OpenOffice) allow more. Some versions of Excel crash with names longer than 31 chars, others - truncate such names to 31 character.
POI's SpreadsheetAPI silently truncates the input argument to 31 characters. Example:
Sheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("My very long sheet name which is longer than 31 chars"); // will be truncated
assert 31 == sheet.getSheetName().length();
assert "My very long sheet name which i" == sheet.getSheetName();
Except the 31-character constraint, Excel applies some other rules:
Sheet name MUST be unique in the workbook and MUST NOT contain the any of the following characters:

Typically you want to force formula recalculation when you modify cell formulas or values of a workbook previously created by Excel. When set to true, this flag will tell Excel that it needs to recalculate all formulas in the workbook the next time the file is opened.
Note, that recalculation updates cached formula results and, thus, modifies the workbook. Depending on the version, Excel may prompt you with "Do you want to save the changes in filename?" on close.
