Bug 23958

I am trying to create a footer with formulas to set the printable area and 
footer text when printing the an excel report.  When I implemented using a 
template to satisfy this requirement, the excel sheet started being created as 
blank.  There is data being put into the object, but when I got to write that 
data to the excel sheet, it comes out as blank.  Here is some sample code.  
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

public void generate(LevelOfProcessing aLevel, String excelFileTemplate, String 
excelFileName)
            throws ReportGenerationException {

        //clear out instance variables so this method
        //can be called multiple times for the same payroll file
        initialize();

        this.level = aLevel;
        //this.excelFileTemplate = excelFileTemplate;

        createSpreadsheet();
        createHeader();
        
        writeExcelFile(excelFileName);

    }

 private void createSpreadsheet() {
        if (this.excelFileTemplate != null) {
            if (logging.isInfoEnabled()) {
                logging.info("Reading from excel template file " + 
this.excelFileTemplate);
