+ Limitations + + + +
+ + +

+ 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

    + You can not currently create charts. This is planned for the 2.0 release. 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.

    +
    • +
  • + Rich Text

    + 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.

    +
    • +
  • + Outlines

    + 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.

    +
    • +
  • + Macros

    + Macros can not be created. The are currently no plans to support macros. Reading + workbooks containing macros is supported but attempting to write those workbooks + will fail. This is because macros are stored as extra file sytems within the + compound document, and these are not currently kept when the file is rewritten.
