With the Excel Generator you can create Excel documents out of complex structured data. |
The Excel Generator uses the HSSF and XSSF component of Apache POI. |
This adapter uses a template file (Excel 97-2003 or Excel 2007 format) to create an Excel document. The data are specified by a map. The key values are used to reference their corresponding Data structure.
