How to iterate over columns to get row labeled data in Excel?












2















I am writing a Java program in which I want to retrieve data which has row headers. My Excel sheet looks like below:



enter image description here



I have written a following simple Java code to retrieve values sequentially based on row headers:



....
try
{
fileSystem = new POIFSFileSystem (inpStrm);

HSSFWorkbook workBook = new HSSFWorkbook (fileSystem);
HSSFSheet sheet = workBook.getSheetAt(0);
int column = 1;
for(int i = 0;i <=3;i++){

for(int j = 0;j<=3;j++){
HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(j);
System.out.print(row.getCell(column).getStringCellValue() + " ");
}
System.out.println("");
column++;
}
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
....


And after running code my output comes like below:



P1    M    C1    Hyderabad    
P2 M C2 Pune
P3 F C3 Pune
P4 M C4 Hyderabad


Now is there any easy and feasible way to do the same for large Excel sheets (50 row headers)?



If I use the POGO class having above four properties then how can I get list of objects with values from Excel?

  • Just loop over all the rows? I'm not seeing what the problem is with your code?

  • @Gagravarr Thanks for your reply :). There is no problem in my code. I am asking if there is any other easy way by which I can achieve the same requirement?

    I'd suggest using WorkbookFactory to create your workbook, and DataFormatter to turn the cell into a string, but otherwise it looks pretty simple and easy to me!

  • You could remove that unused for loop (the one with the i). I don't exactly know what you mean by POGO class. Did you mean POJO?

You could use the method sheet.getLastRowNum() as condition in your for loop to iterate over all rows and the method row.getLastCellNum() in a second loop to iterate over all cells in a specific row.



for(int rowNumber = 0; rowNumber < sheet.getLastRowNum(); rowNumber++) {
HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(rowNumber);

for(int columnNumber = 0; columnNumber < row.getLastCellNum(); columnNumber++) {
HSSFCell cell = row.getCell(columnNumber);
if(cell != null) {
// do something with the cell
}
}


Important: The code above loops first through each column and then through each row.

    Try following
