Thanks a lot for the response, David & Scott. This is how my excel looks like.
[image: Inline image 2] Following is that data read by SAX parser. I am storing the row numbers 2 and 3. <sheetData><row *r="2"* spans="1:2" x14ac:dyDescent="0.25"><c r="A2" s="8" t="s"><v>16</v></c><c r="B2" s="19"><v>41760</v></c></row><row *r="3"*spans="1:2" x14ac:dyDescent="0.25"><c r="A3" s="8" t="s"><v>17</v></c><c r="B3" s="9"><v>80</v></c></row></sheetData> So can i conclude that, XML file which represents the sheet will start the row number from 1(as seen in excel) and apache poi will start at '0' ?
