The excel file is generated automatically and come from a source. I do not want
to modify it or manually open it.

Of course not. We all must automate, that's why we use POI.

The data I need exists in the Pivot Tables and that can change.

I want to do the equivalent of opening an test.xlsx file in Excel 2007 and Saving AS a test.xml file but programatically so I can use the data on the
server for further use.

Understood.

Let me know if that can be done using the Apache POI API.

To do so would require modifying the code that Roberto donated to perform Excel's default behavior.

If you would like to try that would be great, otherwise you can file a bugzilla report and include an example xlsx and xml files and code that you have tried. That way this issue won't get lost, and has a chance of being eventually resolved.

Now if you know where in the xlsx the cells are then I'm sure you can extract those and then output in xml from your program. Not a general solution, and not nearly as elegant, but you could get that done with POI as it is now.

These links to examples might be a starting point for you:

These examples are HSSF, but SS combined versions can be done.

Thanks for all the help.

You're welcome
