sheet.getDataValidations() returns an empty list when a cell is validated by a sequence on another sheet

问题


I have a workbook with two sheets:

  1. Sheet1
  2. Sheet2

And there is a sequence on Sheet2 at the range of A1 to A5:

  • aa
  • bb
  • cc
  • dd
  • ee

And in Sheet1, the cell A1 is validated by the sequence in Sheet2.

However, sheet.getDataValidations() returns an empty list for this case. Did I miss something?

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String filePath = "/Users/fujiexiang/ExcelWorkbook.xlsx";

        Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(new FileInputStream(filePath));
        Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
        System.out.println("" + dataValidations + " " + dataValidations.size());
    }

"[] 0" was printed out.

Apache POI bases on Office Open XML published for Excel 2007. And Excel 2007 had not supported data validation list constraint coming directly from another worksheet. There had must be created a named range for the data validation list constraint. Now current Excel versions support data validation list constraint coming directly from another worksheet but of course not backwards compatible. That's why apache poi also cannot read those constraints as it only reads CTDataValidations which are from Office Open XML published for Excel 2007.

In the XML the difference looks like so in /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml:

Excel 2007:

<dataValidation type="list" allowBlank="1" showInputMessage="1" showErrorMessage="1" sqref="A1">
 <formula1>Sheet2_A1_A5</formula1>
</dataValidation>

There "Sheet2_A1_A5" is a named range in the workbook that points to Sheet2!A1:A5.

Excel 365:

<x14:dataValidation type="list" allowBlank="1" showInputMessage="1" showErrorMessage="1">
 <x14:formula1>
  <xm:f>Sheet2!A1:A5</xm:f>
 </x14:formula1>
 <xm:sqref>A1</xm:sqref>
</x14:dataValidation>

There "Sheet2!A1:A5" is a direct reference to the other worksheet.

As you see, the new x14:dataValidation is in a separate name space. This is not covered by apache poi until now.

What one could do is using low level XML parsing methods to get the new XSSFX14DataValidations additional to the XSSFDataValidations. The following example shows a working draft for how to do this.

   "declare namespace x14='http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2009/9/main' .//x14:dataValidation");
  while(cursor.hasNextSelection()) {
