Get column count with data in a worksheet using Aspose.Cells for Java

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi, If i try to get the number of data columns in a worksheet by using following piece of code:

worksheet.getCells().getColumns().getCount();

I dont get the actual count. I get the count as 1 even though there are more than one data columns.

Thanks & Regards,

Rohan .

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells for Java.

Please download and use the latest version:
Aspose.Cells for Java (Latest Version)


You should use MaxColumn property to access the maximum column including its data and style.

And you should use MaxDataColumn property to access the maximum column including its data only.

Please try one of these methods for your needs.

Java


worksheet.getCells().getMaxColumn();

worksheet.getCells().getMaxDataColumn();

Hi. Thanks. Also there isn't any documentation on use of Iterators i.e. columns iterator, row iterator and cells iterator. Can i get some sample code on this?

Thanks & Regards,

Rohan.

Hi,

Please see the code below. It provides the example how to use iterator.

The code basically creates a range from first cell to last cell. Please see the source.xlsx file.

Once, the range is created, it gets its iterator and then prints all the values of cell using a while loop.

Please see its output.

Java

String path = “F:\Shak-Data-RW\Downloads\Source.xlsx”;
Workbook workbook = new Workbook(path);
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
Cell cell = worksheet.getCells().getLastCell();
String lastCellName = cell.getName();
//System.out.println(lastCellName);
//Create range that will include all cells
//and print the values of all cells
Range rng = worksheet.getCells().createRange(“A1”, lastCellName);
Iterator allCells = rng.iterator();
while(allCells.hasNext())
{
Cell nextCell = allCells.next();
//Print cell value
System.out.println(nextCell.getStringValue());
}

Hi. I want the use of Column and Row iterators. i.e.

worksheet.getCells().getColumns().iterator() and worksheet.getCells().getRows().iterator()

For iterating thru a particular column.

Hi,

Please see this code.

It iterate all the rows and all the cells inside those rows using Iterator.

Please see the source.xlsx file and output of this code below.

Java


String filePath = “c:\source.xlsx”;


Workbook workbook = new Workbook(filePath);


Worksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);


RowCollection rows = worksheet.getCells().getRows();


Object obj = rows.iterator().next();


Iterator rowIterator = worksheet.getCells().getRows().iterator();


while(rowIterator.hasNext())

{

Row r = rowIterator.next();


Iterator cellIterator = r.iterator();


while(cellIterator.hasNext())

{

Cell cell= cellIterator.next();


System.out.println(cell.getStringValue());

}

}

Output:

Hi,

Thanks. And can i iterate through a particular column using ColumnIterator?

Hi,

You need to create a column iterator using the createRange method.

Please use the following code to iterate column cells. You can make this code generic.

Java


//Iteratre the first 1000 cells of column A

Iterator columnCells = cells.createRange(“A1:A1000”).iterator();
