Count number of worksheets in Excel File

Question

How to count number of worksheets in a Microsoft Excel file using Java SE?

Answer 1

There's no standard class/library files in Java SE that interfaces with MS Excel. In Apache POI, you can use HSSFWorkbook.getNumberOfSheets() method which returns you the number of worksheet from a workbook.

To open an Excel file and get HSSFWorkbook, do this:

String fileName = "C://Excel.xls";
POIFSFileSystem fileSystem = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream(fileName));
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fileSystem);

Answer 2

Use getNumberOfSheets() in the WritableWorkbook class.

Take a look at these:

jxl.Workbook;
jxl.write.Label;
jxl.write.WritableSheet;
jxl.write.WritableWorkbook;
