iText set cell height to height set in Excel row

I am using iText 7.1.15 in combination with Apache POI 4.1.1 to create a PDF from an Excel sheet.
The rows in the sheet are set to a specific height in centimeters to fit correctly on an A4 page when printed.
However when I set the cell height via iText and have a look at the result the row in the PDF table isn't exactly as high as in Excel.
I am using org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row.getHeightInPoints() and set this value to my PDF table cell using com.itextpdf.layout.element.Cell.setHeight().
Inspecting the result however the row height in my PDF is slightly different than expected.
And some content (the last row in my sample) event gets truncated (I guess because the cell isn't high enough)...
What am I doing wrong here?
You can find the complete sample here at Github

I want to copy data in a 2-D array into an excel sheet with Java

Most probably it is just an IDE build process related issue, code works perfect for org.apache.poi version 3.17.
Please try to clean the project and build it once again.
If it will not work delete the project from your IDE and import it once again - this should help.
As a quick check for this (in case of using build tool) - you can run build process from cmd and it should work.

Unable to understand how to merge Rows in POI

I'm writing a program where I need to merge rows in Excel sheet. Currently, I'm able to merge the starting rows, but when coming to the end, I'm unable to know where it is going wrong. Below is my code.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;
import org.apache.poi.ss.util.CellRangeAddress;
public class RowsMerge {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(
new File("C:\\D\\Sheets\\Sample Sheets\\dummy.xls"));
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fin);
HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
int row = sheet.getPhysicalNumberOfRows();
String currentLawName, currentCountry, currentAssociate, previousLawName, previousCountry, previousAssociate;
String currentPages, previousPages;
int startIndex = 1, finalIndex = 0, tempNum = 0;
System.out.println(row);
for (int i = 2; i < (row - 1); i++) {
currentAssociate = sheet.getRow(i).getCell(0).toString();
currentLawName = sheet.getRow(i).getCell(1).toString();
currentCountry = sheet.getRow(i).getCell(2).toString();
currentPages = sheet.getRow(i).getCell(3).toString();
previousAssociate = sheet.getRow(i - 1).getCell(0).toString();
previousLawName = sheet.getRow(i - 1).getCell(1).toString();
previousCountry = sheet.getRow(i - 1).getCell(2).toString();
previousPages = sheet.getRow(i - 1).getCell(3).toString();
if (currentAssociate.equals(previousAssociate) && currentCountry.equals(previousCountry)
&& currentLawName.equals(previousLawName) && currentPages.equals(previousPages)) {
finalIndex += 1;
} else {
sendRangeToMergeCells(startIndex, finalIndex, sheet);
startIndex = i;
finalIndex = 0;
}
}
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("C:\\D\\Sheets\\Sample Sheets\\dummy.xls");
workbook.write(fileOut);
fileOut.close();
}
private static void sendRangeToMergeCells(int startIndex, int finalIndex, HSSFSheet sheet) {
System.out.println(startIndex + "\t" + (startIndex + finalIndex));
CellRangeAddress region = CellRangeAddress
.valueOf("D" + (startIndex + 1) + ":D" + ((startIndex + finalIndex) + 1));
sheet.addMergedRegion(region);
}
}
Below is my Excel Sheet
SourceExcel:
Current output:
Expected output:

Actually your merge logic is fine, it is your break logic (the logic which determines when to merge the rows) that is missing a bit.
If the last row in your spreadsheet matches the previous row, no merge will be performed because execution will follow the first branch of if (currentAssociate.equals(previousAssociate) && ... and the loop ends. You have to test for and execute the merge logic if necessary one last time after the for loop completes.
Add the following after your for loop:
if (finalIndex > 0) {
sendRangeToMergeCells(startIndex, finalIndex, sheet);
}
this will merge the last rows if necessary.

Getting specific data from an excel sheet JAVA

I am trying to get specific data from an excel sheet, The data is dynamic. It can be anything really. The column headers are the only things i can use for placeholders, but the column header positions can vary in the sheet.
For example i have a sheet like this :
|Name| Surname| Value|
|bar | poo | 5|
|baz | foo | 7|
But for example i need to traverse the sheet to get the surname column and then if i find surname = 'poo' i must then pull its corresponding value which in the sheet is in the next colum but this is dynamic. The surname and value column arent always next to each other, they can be in any position at the top. But if i find a specific 'thing' in the surname column i need to pull its value.
I have managed to traverse through the sheet and store all the data in a 2d array And display that data. from the research ive done , this isnt an efficient approach as traversing and storing large data from sheets can use alot of memory. Ive read that you can read through an excel sheet and instead of storing those values in an array you can write them immediately to another sheet, if they match a certain condition. EG: (pseudo) If(columnheader == surname && surname == foo )then get corresponding value, then write that value to a new sheet.
Okay so my questions are :
1.How do i achieve iterating through the sheet not storing it in an array and writing it straight to another sheet if it matches a condition?
2.From the code i have below, how do i achieve sorting through the data in the array and finding if surname = foo get its corresponding value?
Like i said the data in the sheet is dynamic except for the column headers, but there positions as headers are dynamic.
Sorry for the long post , any help will be greatly appreciated.

Something like this should be a good starting point.
Basically you parse the first row, where the headers are located.
You find the position of the headers you want and keep them.
In this example there are only two headers (surname, value) that are needed so I just keep two variables. If there are more, then the solution would be to keep the position of those headers in a HashMap, where the key is the name of the header. After that an iteration of the rows begins. The program parses the values of the columns that are needed (row.getCell(index)). Now you have the values that you need, and only them. You can do whatever you want, you can print them or write a file or whatnot.
Here is an example. The error handling is up to you. This is only an example.

reading specific column of excel into java program

I need to read specific column of an excel sheet and then declare the variables in java. The program that I have done reads the entire content of excel sheet. But I need to read a fixed column like C.
This is what I have done:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import jxl.Cell;
import jxl.Sheet;
import jxl.Workbook;
import jxl.read.biff.BiffException;
public class JavaApplication4
{
private String inputFile;
String[][] data = null;
public void setInputFile(String inputFile)
{
this.inputFile = inputFile;
}
public String[][] read() throws IOException
{
File inputWorkbook = new File(inputFile);
Workbook w;
try
{
w = Workbook.getWorkbook(inputWorkbook);
// Get the first sheet
Sheet sheet = w.getSheet(0);
data = new String[sheet.getColumns()][sheet.getRows()];
// Loop over first 10 column and lines
// System.out.println(sheet.getColumns() + " " +sheet.getRows());
for (int j = 0; j <sheet.getColumns(); j++)
{
for (int i = 0; i < sheet.getRows(); i++)
{
Cell cell = sheet.getCell(j, i);
data[j][i] = cell.getContents();
// System.out.println(cell.getContents());
}
}
for (int j = 0; j < data.length; j++)
{
for (int i = 0; i <data[j].length; i++)
{
System.out.println(data[j][i]);
}
}
}
catch (BiffException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return data;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
JavaApplication4 test = new JavaApplication4();
test.setInputFile("C://users/admin/Desktop/Content.xls");
test.read();
}
}
Here is my excel sheet,
From a bowl of chits numbered /#v1#/ to /#v2#/ , a single chit is randomly drawn. Find the probability that the chit drawn is a number that is a multiple of /#v3#/ or /# v4#/?
I need to read this data and by matching the pattern /#v1#1, I need to declare the variables. How can I do this?

What you can do, you should first get all the columns from the sheet by using sheet.getColumns() and store all columns in a list . Then you can match get all values based on columns. or you can get for only column "C".try using below code. let me know if this works.
int masterSheetColumnIndex = sheet.getColumns();
List<String> ExpectedColumns = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int x = 0; x < masterSheetColumnIndex; x++) {
Cell celll = sheet.getCell(x, 0);
String d = celll.getContents();
ExpectedColumns.add(d);
}
LinkedHashMap<String, List<String>> columnDataValues = new LinkedHashMap<String, List<String>>();
List<String> column1 = new ArrayList<String>();
// read values from driver sheet for each column
for (int j = 0; j < masterSheetColumnIndex; j++) {
column1 = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 1; i < sheet.getRows(); i++) {
Cell cell = sheet.getCell(j, i);
column1.add(cell.getContents());
}
columnDataValues.put(ExpectedColumns.get(j), column1);
}

This is the very simple and efficient code and Working as expected
