Dam, ok thanks anyways for all the help.

Hello Henrik
I downloaded the file and had a look, it almost made me spill my coffee. It
is html markup in a file with a .xls extension. Excel is quite happy to
parse this - even though it complains about the file extension - but you can
open the file using a simple text editor and take a look for yourself, I
just used Wordpad.
If you want to parse this then POI will not be of any use to you, sorry.
There are lots of tools that would allow you to parse html, the Java SDK
even has in-built support in the form of the HTMLEditorKit class.

Thanks again for an extremely good answere. This time however i got a
devestating error :)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Your

This is strange, the datasource im trying to use is from this link
http://www.nasdaqomxnordic.com/aktier/Historiska_kurser/?languageId=1&Instrument=SSE366
It is the Excel icon next to the search botton to download the
hirstorical data. Is this not XLS???

You need to add additional archives - .jar files - to your classpath.
This is
old code that I have not refactored yet so the list of archives below
relates to an earlier version of POI but you can use it as a guide for
the
similar components from the latest version;
poi-3.5-beta7-20090612.jar
poi-ooxml-3.5-beta7-20090613.jar
openxml4j-1.0-beta.jar
xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar
ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
The exact names of the files will have changed now that the developers
are
working on 3.6, but they will still be very similar and if you do not
already have these archives, you will need to visit the torchbox address
I
posted in an earlier response, search thruogh the list of archives there
and
download those whose names are similar to the above. I have just had a
quick
check and it seems these are the current versions;
poi-3.6-beta1-20091006.jar
poi-ooxml-3.6-beta1-20091006.jar
and the current versions of the other files listed should be in this zip
file
poi-dependencies-3.6-beta1-20091006.zip
that you can download and then unzip into a directory.
Once you have the archives, add them to your classpath and you should be
able to both compile and run the code.
Hope that helps. If you have any other problems, just post to the list.
Just
as an aside, do not worry about the beta designation for the archives.
Yegor
and the other developers ensure that the product is stable and 3.6 beta
will
be 3.5 final with the latest fixes and patches added; do not worry that
you
will be using some buggy patched nightmare because this would simply not
be
allowed to happen.

Had the chance to play with some code this evening and I have imporved
the
snippet I posted earlier so that it now outputs the cells address in
familar
Excel notation - eg A1. Alsom I noticed when I ran it against a
problematic
test file that an exception could be thrown when the test was made to
see
if
the cell was date formatted and so I have added a catch clause to solve
this
problem because I could not see what the problem was;

file = new File(filename);
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(fis);
// Get the number of sheets in the workbook and enter a for
loop
// to iterate through them one at a time.
numSheets = workbook.getNumberOfSheets();
for(int i = 0; i < numSheets; i++) {
// Get the sheet and recover from that an iterator that
// allows us to step through all of the rows the sheet
contains.
sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(i);
rowIter = sheet.rowIterator();
while(rowIter.hasNext()) {
// Get a row and recover from it an Iterator that
allows
// us to access each of the cells on the row.
row = rowIter.next();
cellIter = row.cellIterator();
while(cellIter.hasNext()) {

cell.getColumnIndex());

cellRef.formatAsString()

Whilst this example uses Iterator to get at the cells, you are not
forced
to
do this, it is possible to get at a cell be specifying the index number
of
the row and column. This would allow you to write some code that steps
down
each column rather than along each row to retrieve a reference to a
cell.
The changes to the code I have posted would be quite trivial and it
might
be
worth you time seeing if you can modify what I have written to use
indices
rather than iterators. Simply write code that discovers how many rows
there
are on the sheet then enter a for loo to step through each row at a
time.
Within that loop, find out how many cells there are in the row and then
write another for loop to get each cell in turn and output it's
contents
to
standard output. That will help you to see how the API hangs together
IMO.
As always, if you have any questions, just post to this list.

I have been trying to make a very simpe Java program, the only
advanced
part is the part using HSSF to read an xls file and get all the data.
What i want to do i ittretare thru ever colum on every row and just
print that data out in the comand prompt. I have found lots of example
of this on the homepage but no whole code that realy works. They all
seems to need something more to get them to run. It would be very much
appriciated if someone just could point me in the right direction to
get
this working.
