-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the additional background [~dstiegli1].
The LGPL license is banned from inclusion in Apache projects, so anything from
JXLS would be off limits for inclusion.

I do not recommend basing anything solely off of an example from StackOverflow,
so I would only consider this if you fully understand the implementation
details.
> Add support for HSSF format in the SplitExcel processor
> -------------------------------------------------------

> Key: NIFI-14538
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14538
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Daniel Stieglitz
> Assignee: Daniel Stieglitz
> Priority: Major
>
> With changes made in NIFI-14426 to add support for HSSF format in the
> ExcelReader controller service, similar changes should be made in the
> SplitExcel processor to allow for the SplitExcel processor and ExcelReader
> controller service to be used together for both Excel file types HSSF and
> XSSF (e.g. an instance of SplitExcel processor which sends flow files to for
> a ConvertRecord processor configured with an ExcelReader). It would be
> worthwhile to only start work on this ticket after NIFI-14426 is completed
> to leverage common code needed by both the ExcelReader and SplitExcel.
