hi all, I have a tool programmed, which can open the Excel files with .xlsx Format. My POI use the "ss" classes to open the Files. My Main use; --- import org.apache.poi.openxml4j.exceptions.InvalidFormatException; import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet; import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook; import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory; ---
and my another Class use; -- import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell; import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row; import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet; -- Up to here all went well. But wenn i want to open with this tool a file with .xls (old format), there is a problem; -- Exception in thread "main" org.apache.poi.hssf.OldExcelFormatException: The supplied spreadsheet seems to be Excel 5.0/7.0 (BIFF5) format. POI only supports BIFF8 format (from Excel versions 97/2000/XP/2003) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.getWorkbookDirEntryName(HSSFWorkbook.java:216) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.<init>(HSSFWorkbook.java:263) at org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory.create(WorkbookFactory.java:88) at packageVal.userInterface.main(userInterface.java:29) -- I understand this problem--POI only supports BIFF8 format--! But what i didn't understand, why "ss" can't open .xls file. "ss" can open both file formats or not?! Where is the problem and how to solve it? Any Idea?
