The intent of this document is to outline some of the known limitations of the
|
|
|
|
|
POI HSSF API's. It is not intended to be complete list of every bug or missing
|
|
|
|
|
feature of HSSF, rather it's purpose is to provide a broad feel for some of the
|
|
|
|
|
functionality that is missing or broken.

Charts<br/><br/>
|

|
|
|
You can not currently create charts. You can
|
2003-04-24 00:53:41 +00:00
|
|
|
however create a chart in Excel, modify the chart data values using HSSF and write
|
|
|
|
|
a new spreadsheet out. This is possible because POI attempts to keep existing records
|
|
|
|
|
intact as far as possible.<br/><br/>

Macros<br/><br/>
|
2003-11-19 19:01:23 +00:00
|
|
|
Macros can not be created. However, reading and re-writing files containing macros will
|
|
|
|
|
safely preserve the macros.<br/><br/>

Pivot Tables<br/><br/>
|
2003-11-19 19:01:23 +00:00
|
|
|
Generating pivot tables is not supported. It has been reported that files containing pivot
|
|
|
|
|
tables can be read and re-written safely.
