Hi friend I want your help.I am reading an excel file & writing data to access database it is writting correctly but if there is any blank space in excell sheet it is reading the next row & puting insted of blank data so next cell comes to balnk data cell.my code is like this

Java

Sheet mySheet = myWorkBook.getSheetAt(0);

       /** We now need something to iterate through the cells.**/
       Iterator rowIter = mySheet.rowIterator();

         while(rowIter.hasNext())
         {
             Row myRow = (XSSFRow) rowIter.next();
             Iterator cellIter = myRow.cellIterator();
             Vector cellStoreVector=new Vector();
             String nextElement="";

             while(cellIter.hasNext())
             {
                 Cell myCell = (XSSFCell) cellIter.next();
                 System.out.println("Cell Type is :"+myCell.getCellType()+" | "+myCell.toString());

                 if(myCell.getCellType()==XSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK)
                 {
                     System.out.println("Blank data found ");
                     myCell.setCellValue("-");
                     cellStoreVector.addElement(myCell);
                 }
                 else
                 {
                 cellStoreVector.addElement(myCell);

                 }
             }
             System.out.println("");
             cellVectorHolder.addElement(cellStoreVector);
         }
       }
       catch (Exception e)
       {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

Solution 1

Just check the cell string value:

Java

        if(""+myCell.toString()=="")
{
    System.out.println("Blank data found ");
    myCell.setCellValue("-");
    cellStoreVector.addElement(myCell);
}
else
{
cellStoreVector.addElement(myCell);

}

hi Mehdi I have check it before but it is not workin actually what happning is that when we read excel file in Cell myCell = (XSSFCell) cellIter.next(); allready next rows data comes in stead of blank data of that cell so those we check if(""+myCell.toString()=="")
it does not goes in that loop becse all ready data of next row is there if blank cell comes.
