NIFI-2613 - Apache POI processor to convert Excel documents to CSV
----
> Support extracting content from Microsoft Excel (.xlxs) documents
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-2613
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2613
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Jeremy Dyer
> Assignee: Jeremy Dyer
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> Microsoft Excel is a wildly popular application that businesses rely heavily
> on to store, visualize, and calculate data. Any single company most likely
> has thousands of Excel documents containing data that could be very valuable
> if ingested via NiFi and combined with other datasources. Apache POI is a
> popular 100% Java library for parsing several Microsoft document formats
> including Excel. Apache POI is extremely flexible and can do several things.
> This issue would focus solely on using Apache POI to parse an incoming .xlxs
> document and convert it to CSV. The processor should be capable of limiting
> which excel sheets. CSV seems like the natural choice for outputting each row
> since this feature is already available in Excel and feels very natural to
> most Excel sheet designs.
> This capability should most likely introduce a new "poi" module as I envision
> many more capabilities around parsing Microsoft documents could come from
> this base effort.
