ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-2613: -------------------------------------- Github user jvwing commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/929 @jdye64 I have a couple of requests from a quick scan. Would it be possible to... * Rebase on the latest master? * Update the POM versions, using a consistent "1.1.0-SNAPSHOT" format (looks like there is a mix of "1.0-SNAPSHOT" and "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")? * Reference the nifi-poi-nar in the nifi-assembly dependency artifacts? * Include Poi in the nifi-assembly NOTICE file? > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
