Question

I need some help in Apache poi

I am generating excel using Apache POI

HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet();

HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(2);

HSSFCell cell = row.createCell(1);

cell.setCellValue(someService.getDate());

I am getting this Date in DateFormat with TimeStamp MM/dd/yyyy 00:00:00 AM

but after generating Excel, it’s not showing its proper value in DateFormat.

Any solution?

Answer 1

Simplest solution is to set date value as formatted string, I think.

...
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a");
cell.setCellValue(simpleDateFormat.format(someService.getDate()));
