Method Detail

create

public static Workbook create(boolean xssf)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Create a new empty Workbook, either XSSF or HSSF depending on the parameter

Parameters:

xssf - If an XSSFWorkbook or a HSSFWorkbook should be created

Returns:

The created workbook

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs while reading the data

create

public static Workbook create(POIFSFileSystem fs)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Creates a HSSFWorkbook from the given NPOIFSFileSystem

Note that in order to properly release resources the Workbook should be closed after use.

Parameters:

fs - The POIFSFileSystem to read the document from

Returns:

The created workbook

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs while reading the data

create

public static Workbook create(DirectoryNode root)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Creates a Workbook from the given NPOIFSFileSystem.

Parameters:

root - The DirectoryNode to start reading the document from

Returns:

The created Workbook

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs while reading the data

create

public static Workbook create(DirectoryNode root,
                              java.lang.String password)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Creates a Workbook from the given NPOIFSFileSystem, which may be password protected

Parameters:

root - The DirectoryNode to start reading the document from

password - The password that should be used or null if no password is necessary.

Returns:

@Deprecated
 @Removal(version="4.2.0")
public static Workbook create(java.lang.Object pkg)
                                                              throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated. use XSSFWorkbookFactory.create

Creates a XSSFWorkbook from the given OOXML Package. As the WorkbookFactory is located in the POI module, which doesn't know about the OOXML formats, this can be only achieved by using an Object reference to the OPCPackage.

Note that in order to properly release resources the Workbook should be closed after use.

Parameters:

pkg - The OPCPackage opened for reading data.

Returns:

The created Workbook

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs while reading the data

create

public static Workbook create(java.io.InputStream inp)
                       throws java.io.IOException,
                              EncryptedDocumentException

Creates the appropriate HSSFWorkbook / XSSFWorkbook from the given InputStream.

Your input stream MUST either support mark/reset, or be wrapped as a BufferedInputStream! Note that using an InputStream has a higher memory footprint than using a File.

Note that in order to properly release resources the Workbook should be closed after use. Note also that loading from an InputStream requires more memory than loading from a File, so prefer create(File) where possible.

Parameters:

inp - The InputStream to read data from.

Returns:

The created Workbook

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs while reading the data

EncryptedDocumentException - If the Workbook given is password protected

create

public static Workbook create(java.io.InputStream inp,
                              java.lang.String password)
                       throws java.io.IOException,
                              EncryptedDocumentException

Creates the appropriate HSSFWorkbook / XSSFWorkbook from the given InputStream, which may be password protected.

Your input stream MUST either support mark/reset, or be wrapped as a BufferedInputStream! Note that using an InputStream has a higher memory footprint than using a File.
