How do I format cell style in Excel document?

Category: org.apache.poi, viewed: 10794 time(s).

This example demonstrate how to user HSSFCellStyle and HSSFFont to format the cell style in excel document. Using this class we can define cell border, foreground and background color. We can also define the font that we are use to display the cell value.

package org.kodejava.example.poi;

import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.util.HSSFColor;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class ExcelCellFormat {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //
        // Create an instance of workbook and sheet
        //
        HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
        HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet();

        //
        // Create an instance of HSSFCellStyle which will be use to format the
        // cell. Here we define the cell top and bottom border and we also
        // define the background color.
        //
        HSSFCellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();
        style.setBorderTop((short) 6); // double lines border
        style.setBorderBottom((short) 1); // single line border
        style.setFillBackgroundColor(HSSFColor.GREY_25_PERCENT.index);

        //
        // We also define the font that we are going to use for displaying the
        // data of the cell. We set the font to ARIAL with 20pt in size and
        // make it BOLD and give blue as the color.
        //
        HSSFFont font = workbook.createFont();
        font.setFontName(HSSFFont.FONT_ARIAL);
        font.setFontHeightInPoints((short) 20);
        font.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
        font.setColor(HSSFColor.BLUE.index);
        style.setFont(font);

        //
        // We create a simple cell, set its value and apply the cell style.
        //
        HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(1);
        HSSFCell cell = row.createCell(1);
        cell.setCellValue(new HSSFRichTextString("Hi there... It's me again!"));
        cell.setCellStyle(style);        
        sheet.autoSizeColumn((short) 1);

        //
        // Finally we write out the workbook into an excel file.
        //
        FileOutputStream fos = null;
        try {
            fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("ExcelDemo.xls"));
            workbook.write(fos);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (fos != null) {
                try {
                    fos.flush();
                    fos.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
