Ordinarily this is simply done by a macro within the Excel environment. When you say, "by Java," you need to carefully describe your use-case.

I agree with sundialsvcs, this is pretty standard for Excel, why in the world would you need to use java??

That's what I always say to those who use Java!!!

Sorry, it just had to get out. All in good fun people, all in good fun.

(Chuckle ...) Well said, HMW.

Nevertheless, in this case, the real question is: "What is Java doing here?" For that matter, "What is Linux doing here?"

Microsoft Excel is (koff, koff ...) "the flagship of their fleet," and (yes, I am complimenting Microsoft ...) still "one helluva product." Normally, people ... do things

... (heh, whether they should be attempting these things or not!) ... using Visual Basic macros. Or, they are using the OLE interface. (Which, after "never-mind how many" releases ... allright, allright, it was complicated ... Microsoft actually did get "very right.")

So, what exactly does this have to do with Java and with Linux? To me, it sounds like "you're barkin' up the wrong tree and holdin' the wrong gun!"

Hi Guys,

I mean how create java algorithm can do as macro

Let me clarify
Our app: get large data from many location SQL, XML...and storage to Excel.
We want sorting all data by multi cols and comparing together.
Can't use macro...
With .NET or Vb is very easy , using sorting
Set objRange = objExcel.ActiveCell.EntireRow
objRange.Sort objRange, xlAscending, , , , , , xlNo, , , xlSortRows
set objExcel=nothing

But java...?

I have to admit I don't know MS Desktop products like Excel, but I am under the impression that its supposed to be pretty good at what you are asking.
If you want to process externally, usual approach is to export as csv and then use whatever language you want (I've done it in Perl), creating new o/p also as csv, then re-import.
I don't know if you can call Java directly from Excel (or vice versa...)

Before (dot)net, m$ used to push visual basic, visual c++, visual j++, visual inter dev all usually bundled together as visual studio though people mostly used only visual basic.

I expect that the if you get hold of the manual/cd you could get the solution.

The set commands will be similar to vb but with java syntax.

OK

Not sure about anyone else, but I am not sure how the above clarified anything??

If .NET or VB is so easy, again, why is java in this mix???
