Those using POI 3.5 can also use
org.apache.poi.xssf.extractor.XSSFExcelExtractor, to perform
a similar task for .xlsx files.
+ In addition, there is a second text extractor for .xls files,
+ org.apache.poi.hssf.extractor.EventBasedExcelExtractor. This
+ is based on the streaming EventUserModel code, and will generally
+ deliver a lower memory footprint for extraction. However, it will
+ have problems correctly outputting more complex formulas, as it
+ works with records as they pass, and so doesn't have access to all
+ parts of complex and shared formulas.
