I am new to apache POI and I cannot find the way to generate a xls file using
only POI which implements the standard Excel feature Conditional Formatting
-> Highlight Cell Rules -> Duplicate Values.

All I can do is to create a certain amount of Conditional Formatting Rules
and bind them to a fixed number of cells (e.g. 200). This will provide the
necessary functionality only for these (200) cells but marking only the
second cell which contains a duplicate value highlighted (not all duplicate
values will be really highlighted, once a duplicate is entered only it will
be formatted). I need to be able to format all duplicate values in a certain
column.

My question is: Is it possible to create a column-wide trigger which will
automatically add the formatting to newly filled cells, and recalculate all
the conditional formatting for all already-filled cells in that column.
