Question

im doing a conversion of the HSSF model to XSSF. Im getting lil errors here and there. I donwloaded the latest POI and dropped all the jar files in and did the apache includes in my java class…..getting this error:

import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;

Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create();

275: cannot find symbol
[javac] symbol : variable WorkbookFactory
[javac] location: class mil.usmc.logcom.chassis.util.HSSFUtils
[javac] Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create();

Answer 1

There is no zero-arg method for WorkbookFactory.create(). For example:

InputStream inp = new FileInputStream("workbook.xlsx");
Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(inp);
