|
|
<p>
|
|
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
|
|
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/>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Rich Text<br/><br/>
|
|
HSSF does not support rich text cells. Rich text cells are
|
|
cells that have multiple fonts and styles in the once cell. Any attempt to read
|
|
a spreadsheet that has rich text cells will throw an exception. This feature may
|
|
be supported in the future but it is not currently planned. Patches are welcome.<br/><br/>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Outlines<br/><br/>
|
|
It is not yet possible to create outlines. Reading a spreadsheet with outlines
|
|
may work correctly but has not been tested. Write support for outlines may
|
|
be added in the future but it is not currently planned. Patches are welcome.<br/><br/>
|
|
</li>
|
|

|
|
Macros<br/><br/>
|
|
Macros can not be created. However, reading and re-writing files containing macros will
|
|
safely preserve the macros.<br/><br/>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pivot Tables<br/><br/>
|
|
Generating pivot tables is not supported. It has been reported that files containing pivot
|
|
tables can be read and re-written safely.
