pd.read sheets code example
Example 1: pandas read excel
import pandas as pd
pd.read_excel('tmp.xlsx’, sheet_name='Sheet1')
Example 2: excel reading
I used Apache POI libraries to read and write from
excel file, I add the Apache poi dependencies to my pom.xml file.
In order to connect I use following classes
-FileInputStream from Java. It is used to create connection
to the file. We pass the file path as constructor to it.
-WorkBook is a class that represents the excel file. We create
workbook is a class from Apache POI that represents the excel
file. We create Workbook object using the FileInputStream
object.
-Sheet represents a single sheet from the excel file. We create
sheet using Workbook object. We can create worksheet using
the 0 based index.
public String readExcel(String path, String sheetName, int rowNum, int colNum){
try {
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(path);
Workbook book = WorkbookFactory.create(file);
Sheet sheet = book.getSheet(sheetName);
Row row = sheet.getRow(rowNum);
Cell cell = row.getCell(colNum);
String cellData = cell.toString();
return cellData;
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
How to get row and column numbers:
int rowCount = workSheet.getLastRowNum()+1; ==> why we add '+1'? Because
row num starts from 0.
int colCount = workSheet.getRow(0).getLastCellNum();
String sheetName = workSheet.getSheetName();
The data we get from excel can be converted to different formats such as set,
list, map
-------------------EXCEL WRITING AND SAVING---------------------------------
The first creation part is same then go to a cell where you want to write.
Row row = sheet.getRow(0)
Cell resultCell = row.getCell(2)
Let's imagine you have values in index 0 and index 1.
Now you want to create a cell on index 2. First, check if it is null to
avoid problems.
if(resultCell==null){
resultCell = row.createCell(2);
}
resultCell.setValue("Germany");
in order to save:
// class is used to open file and write to it
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("src/test/resources/
Countries.xlsx");
// write the changes to the file and save
workbook.write(fileOutputStream);
