I’m using JXLS to populate a template excel spreadsheet. Sometimes, one input – a list – is empty. When this happens, the template fields which use this list are shown in the populated spreadsheet in full JXLS regalia – eg, “${someList.someValue}“.

The fields in question are all in a single row (expanded to list.size() rows by JXLS). I want to clear the whole row when there are no records in the list.

Is there a way to do so in JXLS? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a complementary way to use JExcel or POI to do so?

    You can use <jx:if> tags in your excel template.
    For example if you have a template similar to the following 

    Row 1: <jx:if test="${!empty someData}">
Row 2: place holders for data that will be printed in the loop 
Row 3: </jx:if>

    If someData is not empty then rows will be printed in the output but if someData is empty then no rows will be printed by this template.

    I hope I could make it clear. Please see http://jxls.sourceforge.net/reference/tags.html for more information about tags.
