Hi , I am a newbie trying to understand excel file format. I have a clarification regarding what are the bare minimum records which are needed in a excel file. The documention contained in sc.openoffice.org indicates that the following is the bare minimum. The others are optional.
// workbook global BOF WINDOW1 FONT (1..N) XF (1..N) STYLE (1..N) BOUNDSHEET (1..N) EOF // worksheet substream BOF DIMENSIONS WINDOW2 EOF But in Apache POI-HSSF if I create an *empty* excel file and view through java BIFFViewer I can see many more records than this . Yes, HSSF may be writing some default values for other records. But just to clarify, with the above minimum records is it possible create a valid excel file ? Thanks in Advance ObiVan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
