jexcelapi

I'm using JExcelApi for generating XLS files. From jxl.format.Colour , I see how to get any of the colors in the "standard Excel colour palette", but not how to create a new color (say, given its RGB). But in Excel itself, I can pick any color at all. Am I just missing it? Is there a way in JExcelApi to select an arbitrary color? I'm using a simple find-the-closest-standard-color method right now, which is OK but not great. Excel versions before 2007 have a standard palette, and given that the API you are using does not support the 2007 format, you may be stuck with that. The reason you can

I'd love a good native Python library to write XLS, but it doesn't seem to exist. Happily, Jython does. So I'm trying to decide between jexcelapi and Apache HSSF: http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/tutorial.html#writing http://poi.apache.org/hssf/quick-guide.html (I can't use COM automation because I'm not on Windows, and even if I was, I couldn't afford Office licenses.) My initial thoughts are that POI/HSSF is very thorough, but also very Java-- everything seems a bit harder than it needs to be. Good documentation, but my head hurts trying to bridge the gap between what it describes and what

I'm currently using Eclipse with TestNG running selenium webdriver with java. I am using Jexcelapi to import data from OpenOffice (spreadsheet) to compare strings on the website i'm testing with values in the spreadsheet. The problem I have is that we have different regions including germany and Nordics (Sweden, Norway and Denmark). These sites have string characters with accents special characters. This is copied correctly on my spreadsheet and running the scripts in debug mode shows the correct character from the spreadsheet but when i get my results, it displays invalid characters such as ?

I have created a worksheet, out.xls which had cell D6=D5*2 and D5 set to 1. My issue is that when I plug a value into D5 in jxl, D6 never calculates. D6 simply holds on the value it initially calculated when I plugged in 1 to D5 in excel. note: I have a much larger programming problem that I am trying to tackle, this is just a very scaled down version to reduce error. This is my first time ever use Jexcel and I only just learned java this last year, so any help would be appreciated. I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to find an answer on the web, but to no avail. the output is attached below the
