As of last night's trunk AA, BB, and CC all appear in xlsx version after BBB is deleted. I didn't try the OLE2. I think leaving the BB named range is the proper outcome. |
Created attachment 25979 [details] Zip file with the mentioned workbooks (Test.xls and Test.xlsx) I have an Excel file with three sheets called AAA, BBB, CCC. On each of them there is a name defined: AA on AAA, BB on BBB, CC on CCC. If I'm now removing sheet BBB, the behaviour for a HSSF workbook is different than for a XSSF workbook. The following is what I observe: - HSSF: Sheets AAA and CCC remain (which is ok), but left are only names AA and BB. This is strange. I would understand if BB would be missing but CC should definitely still be around I guess. Also, if you open the file with an older version of Excel (< 2007) you are confronted with a dialog saying that the file has been repaired. Excel 2007+ seems to do that behind the scenes. - XSSF: Sheets AAA and CCC remain (again, this is ok), and so do the names AA and CC. This behaviour seems ok to me. Please find a snippet of code that can be used to reproduce the problem: Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(new FileInputStream("C:/Users/mstuder/Documents/Test.xls")); wb.removeSheetAt(wb.getSheetIndex("BBB")); wb.write(new FileOutputStream("C:/Users/mstuder/Documents/Test2.xls")); Also, please find attached the two corresponding Excel files (*.xls and *.xlsx).
