I want to clone an Excel sheet and all of its contents. I tried the 
When I try to open the output workbook, I get a prompt telling me that the file is broken and needs to be repaired. If I recover the workbook, it is clear the table has not been copied correctly; the original totals row is now a data row.
try (InputStream is = Table.class.getResourceAsStream("table.xlsx")) {
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(is);
workbook.cloneSheet(0, "Test");
try (OutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("table-2.xlsx")) {
workbook.write(fileOut);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
How I would go about copying this sheet? Any help is appreciated!
CodePudding user response：
XSSFWorkbook.cloneSheet clones a sheet. But it does not considering the possible defined tables in it. It simply clones the table references. But two table-ranges in sheets cannot refer to the same table reference. The tables itself needs to be cloned. That's why the corrupted workbook as result.
I've tried to solve this by programming a method cloneTables(XSSFSheet sheet) which simply creates clones of each table in a sheet which then refer to their own table reference each. I consider table styles, auto-filter, a totals-row and calculated column formulas. I hope I have not overlooked something, but I doubt that.
The code its tested and works using current apache poi 5.2.2.
It contains fixes for following bugs too:
XSSFTable.updateHeaders fails in Excel workbooks created using current Excel versions. This is because of the test row.getCTRow().validate() which always will be false because of the usage of new name spaces. See Renaming headers of XSSFTable with Apache Poi leads to corrupt XLSX-file.
XSSFSheet.removeTable does not remove the links to the table part reference from the sheet.
