Bug ID: 57163 Summary: Cannot delete a sheet in an XLS workbook Product: POI Version: 3.11-dev Hardware: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HSSF Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org Reporter: phi...@gmx.net When I want to delete a sheet that's not the last one in a workbook with several sheets, I get an exception. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.poi.hssf.model.InternalWorkbook.removeSheet(InternalWorkbook.java:780) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.removeSheetAt(HSSFWorkbook.java:924) I open the file with: try (InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File(fileName)))) { return WorkbookFactory.create(in); } then I call workbook.removeSheetAt(0); Apparently, the linkTable field is null. My use case is to load a template with several sheets, delete them all but one to clone it to the number of sheets needed. As a workaround, I move the wanted sheet at first position with: workbook.setSheetOrder(workbook.getSheetName(sheetIndex), 0); then I delete all the others in reverse order... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
