ASF GitHub Bot commented on NIFI-2613: -------------------------------------- Github user jdye64 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/929 @jvwing thank you for pointing this out. Let me look it over right now and I'll make another commit shortly. I had this in another project and I think during the copy/paste I have made an error. > 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 > > 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 (v6.3.15#6346)
