I have been watching this conversation with interest because I need to do the same thing. It looks like you are using a development version of POI to get this done. Have you had any problems with it or has it been stable?

Hi All,

I could finally resolve this formula problem. Just to give you all what had
happened and how it got resolved.

The sheet reference formula requires that the sheet name should not contain
spaces and special characters ( _ , - ). My actual application had the sheet
name such as  "LA_PRD SUB1" and hence the exception. I changed it to
"LAPRDSUB1" and everything started working.

To figure out this simple thing, it took me 2 days. I wanted to check the
source code (2.0 ) but everytime I downloaded (6 times from 6 different site
addresses ) , I got a corrupted zip file. Did anybody else faced the same
problem?

One more thing formula should not start with + sign. In that case you may
encounter EmptyStackException.

I was earlier using JCOM for sheet reference formula, but now with support
for this in 2.0 , my excel generation takes less than half the time. Thanks
you all the people responsible for this.

The last I checked HSSF didn't actually handle formulas, even though the
literature/code markup makes it sound like it does. Here is the thread


from


the archives for this group:

&m=105190961026425&w=2

Please let me know if you find a way to get HSSF to do formulas.

thx,
Matt Savino

Hi All,


Need Help!

When I am trying to set a sheet reference formula to a cell, I get the
'Integer Expected' error.
I m using latest POI version i.e. "poi-2.0-RC1-20031102".


I am trying to create a formula in Sheet 3 to sum Sheet1:Cell B12 and
Sheet2:Cell.Here is the code where it originates.
I tried by putting = sign before formula, this also does'nt work. The


same


formula works if i paste on excel cell manually.

-------------------------------------------------------
String strFormulas = "SUM('Sheet1'!B12,'Sheet2'!B12)" ;
objCell.setCellFormula(strFormulas);
-------------------------------------------------------

Here is the stacktrace-------

Error: Integer Expected
