In this article, I am going to explain how to merge two excel files. Some time we may need to do excel merging programmitically. If you want to do any modification by logic in merging, you can do using this program easily. To implement this program you need to download Apache POI library and have it in your build path (copy POI jars to lib folder).
There is no direct method to merge excel files using java. You have need to follow the below flow.

Flow of the program
- Get Excel files
- Get Work Books of those excel files
- Get sheets to be merged in those excel files
- Read every row and add it to other sheet
- Read every cell and add it to the row
- Write merged workbook to output file

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan we merge .xlsx and .xls file into one file??
Does this merge tabels based on common key?
ReplyDeletee.g. Suppose this:
FirstTable.xls which contains columns as: UserID, FirstName, LastName
SecondTable.xls which contains columns as: UserID, Description
Now my question is that does your program merge these 2 tables based on UserID or not?
