Export to excel while it contains huge data - apache-poi

While I am exporting excel which has huge data(ex:100 rows) I am getting below alert while opening sheet. And if we click on proceed,it is opening in protected view.
While we save this excel it is alerting as "unable to save in protected view" and if we proceed the styles and font settings are altered in the excel sheet saved.
What can I do to avoid this?

//u can call this style method before loops where we are creating cells
HSSFCellStyle yellowStyle = getYellowColoreBasedOnNewField(workBook);
private HSSFCellStyle getYellowColoreBasedOnNewField(HSSFWorkbook workBook) {
HSSFCellStyle style = workBook.createCellStyle();
HSSFFont font = createAndSetFontStyle(workBook);
setYellowColor(style, font);
return style;
}
private HSSFFont createAndSetFontStyle(HSSFWorkbook wb) {
HSSFFont font = wb.createFont();
font.setFontName(XSSFFont.DEFAULT_FONT_NAME);
font.setFontHeightInPoints((short)10);
return font;
}

When selecting a cell in excel sheet it becomes black

I am generating excel sheets using Apache POI. When selecting a cell to edit the background of that cell becomes black. I have shared my code and a screenshot of the excel sheet. I didn't set the background to black from anywhere. I have struggled to solve this error for several hours. If anyone know how to solve this please help me.
public static void writeSummaryToExcel(int rowNumber, int columnNumber, String workBookName, String sheetName,
int sheetColumnSize, Map<String, List<CommonDto>> appDataMap,
List<CommonDto> summaryData) {
log.info("AppSummarySheetGenerator - writeSummaryToExcel() called");
PropertyTemplate propertyTemplate = new PropertyTemplate();
int rowCount = rowNumber;
int columnCount = columnNumber;
try {
File file = new File(workBookName);
// initialing workbook and sheet
workbook = CommonExcelUtils.getWorkbook(file, workBookName);
Sheet sheet = CommonExcelUtils.getWorkbookSheet(workbook, sheetName, sheetColumnSize, false);
Row row;
Cell cell;
if (workbook != null && sheet != null) {
//sheet setting up to first sheet
workbook.setSheetOrder(sheet.getSheetName(), 0);
// cell styles
CellStyle fontRightAlignStyle = workbook.createCellStyle();
fontRightAlignStyle.setAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.RIGHT);

//other code
}

CellStyle commonTotalCellStyle = workbook.createCellStyle();
commonTotalCellStyle.setFont(boldFont);
commonTotalCellStyle.setBorderBottom(BorderStyle.MEDIUM);
commonTotalCellStyle.setBorderTop(BorderStyle.MEDIUM);
commonTotalCellStyle.setBorderLeft(BorderStyle.MEDIUM);
commonTotalCellStyle.setBorderRight(BorderStyle.MEDIUM);
commonTotalCellStyle.setFillPattern(FillPatternType.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
commonTotalCellStyle.setFillForegroundColor(IndexedColors.YELLOW.index);
return commonTotalCellStyle;
}
Screenshot of the excel sheet
The only reason I am aware of that this may happen is if there is a cell style applied to the cell which has a fill background color set but either not has a fill pattern set or has a no-fill-pattern set. Then the fill background color gets visible if the cell is in edit mode.
Complete example to test:
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
class CreateExcelCellBackgroudColor {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try (Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook();
FileOutputStream fileout = new FileOutputStream("./Excel.xlsx") ) {
CellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();
//style.setFillForegroundColor(IndexedColors.YELLOW.getIndex());
//style.setFillBackgroundColor(IndexedColors.BLACK.getIndex());
style.setFillBackgroundColor((short)0);
//style.setFillPattern(FillPatternType.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
style.setFillPattern(FillPatternType.NO_FILL);
Sheet sheet = workbook.createSheet();
Row row = sheet.createRow(0);
Cell cell = row.createCell(0);
cell.setCellStyle(style);
workbook.write(fileout);
}
}
}
Here cell A1 gets black when in edit mode.
Why is that?
In Excel the cell interiors have pattern fill. There fill foreground color is the color of the pattern and fill background color is the color behind the pattern. If there is a fill background color set but not a pattern, then the background color may get visible.
So the problem is not in the code you have shown. Have a look whether you set CellStyle.setFillBackgroundColor somewhere. But maybe the problem is in the source file already. If so, then the source file probably is not created by Excel.

Aspose.cells and aspose.slides

I am totally new to aspose. kindly help me to achieve the below requirement.
Requirement:- I am trying to make an application which can process an excel file and based on the excel data application will generate an output file( ppt extension).
Special instruction:- Please make a note I will provide ppt template and that template will have a certain placeholder where data will be inserted from uploaded excel.
Work In Progress:-
I have added both Aspose.Cells and Aspose.Slides dll to my project and wrote below PoC.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
Workbook wb = new Workbook(#“C:\Users\Nilanjan\Desktop\Incident.xlsx”);
Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];
Cells cells = ws.Cells;
int col = CellsHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(“N”);
int last_row = ws.Cells.GetLastDataRow(col);
DataTable dt = wb.Worksheets[0].Cells.ExportDataTable(0, 0,
wb.Worksheets[0].Cells.MaxDataRow + 1, wb.Worksheets[0].Cells.MaxDataColumn + 1);
Presentation ps = new Presentation();
ISlide slide=ps.Slides[0];
slide=ps.Slides[1];
ps.Save(#“C:\Users\Nilanjan\Desktop\CocoonIncident1.pptx”,Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx );
}
Till now I have tried to upload the excel into my code and after processing it I was able to fill a DataTable with the excel data, now next step is to fill the ppt-template with that DataTable data. Please help me to achieve this functionality or please suggest a suitable workaround. Let me know if ppt template or excel file is required.
#Nilanjan,
I have observed your requirements for adding DataTable to PowerPoint slides. There is no direct way available to add DataTable in PowerPoint slides. You need to access every cell in DataTable and add that in PowerPoint slides by following mechanism supported by PowerPoint or Aspose.Slides. I suggest you to please try using following sample code on your end.
public static void DataTableToSlides()
{
String path = #"C:\Aspose Data\";
System.Data.DataTable table = new System.Data.DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("Term", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(float));
table.Rows.Add(#"Term 16", 1.5);
table.Rows.Add(#"Term 15", 0.7);
table.Rows.Add(#"Term 14", 0.7);
table.Rows.Add(#"Term 13", 0.6);
table.Rows.Add(#"Term 12", 0.6);
Presentation pres = new Presentation();
ISlide slide = pres.Slides[0];
double[] colWidth = { 100, 100 };
double[] rowHeight = { 40};// 40, 40,40,40,40 };//1 row additional to hold the headers
ITable slidesTable = slide.Shapes.AddTable(100, 10, colWidth, rowHeight);
slidesTable[0, 0].TextFrame.Text = table.Columns[0].ColumnName;
slidesTable[1, 0].TextFrame.Text = table.Columns[1].ColumnName;
for (int i=0;i<table.Rows.Count;i++)
{
DataRow row = table.Rows[i];
slidesTable.Rows.AddClone(slidesTable.Rows[0], false);
slidesTable[0, i + 1].TextFrame.Text = row[0].ToString();
slidesTable[1, i + 1].TextFrame.Text = row[1].ToString();
}
pres.Save(path + "Saved.pptx",Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
I am working as Support developer/ Evangelist at Aspose.
Many Thanks.

Excel headers uneditable poi

I want to make the header row of my excel uneditable using poi.
I got various solutions around the internet which say to firstly do sheet.protectSheet("password") which ultimately makes entire sheet uneditable and then loop through all cells which can be editable and set cellStyle for them as cellStyle.setLocked(false).
In my case since the excel just contains headers and rest of the rows will be filled up by the user I can't make the entire sheet uneditable, I just want the headers to be uneditable by the user. How can I achieve this?
Using XSSF the following could be achieved:
Set a CellStyle having setLocked false as the default style for all columns. This is possible by setting a org.openxmlformats.schemas.spreadsheetml.x2006.main.CTCol element having min col 1 and max col 16384 having set that style.
Then take out row 1 from using that style by setting CustomFormat true for that row. So it does not use the default style for all columns. Additional set a CellStyle having setLocked true as the default style for that row. This is possible by getting a org.openxmlformats.schemas.spreadsheetml.x2006.main.CTRow element from that row and set CustomFormat and S(style) there.
Result: All cells are unlocked except row 1.
Example:
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.*;
public class CreateExcelSheetProtectOnlyFirstRow {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook();
//create a CellStyle having setLocked false
CellStyle cellstyleUnprotect = workbook.createCellStyle();
cellstyleUnprotect.setLocked(false);
//create a CellStyle having setLocked true
CellStyle cellstyleProtect = workbook.createCellStyle();
cellstyleProtect.setLocked(true);
Sheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("Sheet1");
//set the CellStyle having setLocked false as the default style for all columns
org.openxmlformats.schemas.spreadsheetml.x2006.main.CTCol cTCol =
((XSSFSheet)sheet).getCTWorksheet().getColsArray(0).addNewCol();
cTCol.setMin(1);
cTCol.setMax(16384);
cTCol.setWidth(12.7109375);
cTCol.setStyle(cellstyleUnprotect.getIndex());
Row row = sheet.createRow(0);
//set CustomFormat true for that row
//so it does not using the default style for all columns
//and set the CellStyle having setLocked true as the default style for that row
org.openxmlformats.schemas.spreadsheetml.x2006.main.CTRow cTRow =
((XSSFRow)row).getCTRow();
cTRow.setCustomFormat(true);
cTRow.setS(cellstyleProtect.getIndex());
for (int c = 0; c < 3; c++) {
row.createCell(c).setCellValue("Header " + (c+1));
}
sheet.protectSheet("password"); // protect sheet
workbook.write(new FileOutputStream("CreateExcelSheetProtectOnlyFirstRow.xlsx"));
workbook.close();
}
}

How to change only one style property in xssf by keeping all the other properties same

How to change only font color of one cell without altering the workbooks previous style properties. Please look at the attachment "workbook" for clear understanding. The column delta contribution font color should be changed but its background style properties should not be altered.
EDIT:
I have changed the code.
The columns rank and mean contribution in the template have a predefined design of some alternate colors which are set in the excel itself. The template is designed by my team and I am afraid I can't change it from Java.
My work is to populate the last column Delta Contribution whose background styles should be same as the total sheet provided the color change according to the conditions.
String deltaContribution = line.getDeltaContribution() != null
? Double.parseDouble(line.getDeltaContribution()) + "" : "";
if (!deltaContribution.equals("")) {
XSSFCell cell = (XSSFCell) row.getCell(8);
XSSFCellStyle style = cell.getCellStyle();
XSSFFont redFont = style.getFont();
XSSFFont blueFont = style.getFont();
XSSFFont greenFont = style.getFont();
if(Double.parseDouble(deltaContribution) >= 0.20) {
redFont.setColor(IndexedColors.RED.getIndex());
CellUtil.setFont(cell, workbook, redFont);
//log.info("The colour is " + colour.getARGBHex());
}
else if(Double.parseDouble(deltaContribution) <= -0.20) {
greenFont.setColor(IndexedColors.GREEN.getIndex());
CellUtil.setFont(cell, workbook, greenFont);
//log.info("The colour is " + colour.getARGBHex());
}
else {
blueFont.setColor(IndexedColors.BLUE.getIndex());
CellUtil.setFont(cell, workbook, blueFont);
//log.info("The colour is " + colour.getARGBHex());
}
row.getCell(8).setCellValue(line.getDeltaContribution() != null
? formatDecimalPlaces(line.getDeltaContribution()) : "");
}
I should not change the previous styles applied to the sheet, I should just edit one property of style. After changing the code, whole column is populated with green color.Last column
workbook:
There are two approaches.
First approach is using conditional formatting. This is my preferred approach.
Example:
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.util.CellRangeAddress;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
class ConditionalFormattingCellValues {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Workbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook();
Sheet sheet = wb.createSheet("Sheet1");
SheetConditionalFormatting sheetCF = sheet.getSheetConditionalFormatting();
ConditionalFormattingRule cfRule2 = sheetCF.createConditionalFormattingRule(ComparisonOperator.GE, "0.20");
FontFormatting fontFormatting = cfRule2.createFontFormatting();
fontFormatting.setFontStyle(false, false);
fontFormatting.setFontColorIndex(IndexedColors.RED.index);
ConditionalFormattingRule cfRule1 = sheetCF.createConditionalFormattingRule(ComparisonOperator.LT, "0.20");
fontFormatting = cfRule1.createFontFormatting();
fontFormatting.setFontStyle(false, false);
fontFormatting.setFontColorIndex(IndexedColors.BLUE.index);
ConditionalFormattingRule [] cfRules = {cfRule1, cfRule2};
CellRangeAddress[] regions = {CellRangeAddress.valueOf("I2:I10")};
sheetCF.addConditionalFormatting(regions, cfRules);
for (int r = 1; r < 10; r++) {
Row row = sheet.createRow(r);
Cell cell = row.createCell(8);
cell.setCellValue(1d/Math.sqrt(r)-0.2);
}
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("ConditionalFormattingCellValues.xlsx");
wb.write(fileOut);
wb.close();
}
}
Second approach is using CellUtil. This provides "Various utility functions that make working with a cells and rows easier. The various methods that deal with style's allow you to create your CellStyles as you need them. When you apply a style change to a cell, the code will attempt to see if a style already exists that meets your needs. If not, then it will create a new style. This is to prevent creating too many styles. there is an upper limit in Excel on the number of styles that can be supported."
Example:
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.util.CellUtil;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
class DirectlyFormattingCellValues {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Workbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook();
Font redFont = wb.createFont();
redFont.setColor(IndexedColors.RED.getIndex());
Font blueFont = wb.createFont();
blueFont.setColor(IndexedColors.BLUE.getIndex());
Sheet sheet = wb.createSheet("Sheet1");
for (int r = 1; r < 10; r++) {
Row row = sheet.createRow(r);
Cell cell = row.createCell(8);
String deltaContribution = String.valueOf(1d/Math.sqrt(r)-0.2);
if(Double.parseDouble(deltaContribution)>=0.20) {
CellUtil.setFont(cell, redFont);
} else {
CellUtil.setFont(cell, blueFont);
}
cell.setCellValue(Double.valueOf(deltaContribution));
}
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("DirectlyFormattingCellValues.xlsx");
wb.write(fileOut);
wb.close();
}
}
As said already, using conditional formatting should be preferred.
But according your screen-shot all your numbers seems to be text strings instead of really numeric values. This should be avoided since Excel cannot using such text strings in formula calculation. And without changing that, only second approach will be usable since conditional formatting also needs really numeric values for comparison.

Make Excel Sheet With Multiple Ultra Win Grid (UltraGridExcelExport)

Dear All Friends
I Have One Window Form Which Have 5 Grid Of Infragistics Ultra Grid. I Want To Export All Grid TO Excel File. Now Problem Is That. In Need All 5 Grids In On Sheet As Shown As Form. So Please Help To Solve.
Currently I Export Only One Grid To Excel Using Infragistics Inbuild Method
UltraGridExport.Export(UltraGrid,FileName)
Suggest Me With Multiple Grid Export In One Sheet.
Thank To All.
How about exporting the results into multiple sheets on the workbook?
Create a workbook and then for each grid create a worksheet on the workbook and then export the grid to the worksheet.
public static void ExportToExcel<T>(this IEnumerable<T> grids, string filename)
where T : UltraGrid
{
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
UltraGridExcelExporter exporter = new UltraGridExcelExporter();
foreach (T g in grids)
{
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add(g.Name);
exporter.Export(g.GridControl, sheet);
}
workbook.Save(filename);
}
string StrFile = Application.StartupPath + "\\EmpLevDetView.xls";
Workbook WB = new Workbook();
WB.Worksheets.Add("Detail");
ExcelExport.Export(UltGrdDet, WB.Worksheets["Detail"], 0, 0);
WB.Worksheets.Add("Summary");
ExcelExport.Export(UltGrdSum, WB.Worksheets["Summary"], 0, 0);
BIFF8Writer.WriteWorkbookToFile(WB, StrFile);
System.Diagnostics.Procesenter code heres.Start(StrFile);
