Created attachment 23147 [details] Patch for NPX in HSSFWorkbook.convertLabelRecords() When reading an Excel Sheet with an embedded Excel Diagram a Nullpointer Exception occurs at HSSFWorkbook.convertLabelRecords: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.UnicodeString.setString(UnicodeString.java:343) at org.apache.poi.hssf.record.UnicodeString.<init>(UnicodeString.java:104) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.convertLabelRecords(HSSFWorkbook.java:303) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.<init>(HSSFWorkbook.java:215) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.<init>(HSSFWorkbook.java:259) at com.framesoft.ffr.dms.lucene.documentHandler.ExcelPoiHSSFHandler.getDocumentContent(ExcelPoiHSSFHandler.java:25) ... 1 more I fixed this issue for our project where we extract the text from multiple Excel Documents by changing this Line: workbook.addSSTString(new UnicodeString(oldrec.getValue())); with this Line: workbook.addSSTString((oldrec.getValue() == null ? null : new UnicodeString(oldrec.getValue()))); I don't know if this is a valid solution for this issue but for us it fixed the problem. Maybe there is a problem with some of the ExcelSheets we are trying to read that have a LabelRecord with a Null value. The Nullpointer did not occur if one of the embedded ExcelDiagrams was removed. The Diagram is referencing a Table with an empty row, so maybe that is the reason for the problem. I attached an example for this diagram that will result in an NPX.
