Hi Tarun, to read data from an excel sheet in selenium webdriver, you can use Apache POI. To get a better idea on how to read data from an excel sheet, checkout this piece of code:
package excelExportAndFileIO;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
public class ReadExcelFileDemo {
public void readExcel(String filePath,String fileName,String sheetName) throws IOException{
//Create an object of File class to open xlsx file
File file = new File(filePath+"\\"+fileName);
//Create an object of FileInputStream class to read excel file
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
Workbook workbook = null;
//Find the file extension by splitting file name in substring and getting only extension name
String fileExtensionName = fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf("."));
//Check condition if the file is xlsx file
if(fileExtensionName.equals(".xlsx")){
//If it is xlsx file then create object of XSSFWorkbook class
workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(inputStream);
}
//Check condition if the file is xls file
else if(fileExtensionName.equals(".xls")){
//If it is xls file then create object of XSSFWorkbook class
workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(inputStream);
}
//Read sheet inside the workbook by its name
Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(sheetName);
//Find number of rows in excel file
int rowCount = sheet.getLastRowNum()-sheet.getFirstRowNum();
//Create a loop over all the rows of excel file to read it
for (int i = 0; i < rowCount+1; i++) {
Row row = sheet.getRow(i);
//Create a loop to print cell values in a row
for (int j = 0; j < row.getLastCellNum(); j++) {
//Print Excel data in console
System.out.print(row.getCell(j).getStringCellValue()+"|| ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
//Main function is calling readExcel function to read data from excel file
public static void main(String...strings) throws IOException{
//Create an object of ReadExcelFileDemo class
ReadExcelFileDemo objExcelFile = new ReadExcelFileDemo();
//Prepare the path of excel file
String filePath = System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\src\\excelExportAndFileIO";
//Call read file method of the class to read data
objExcelFile.readExcel(filePath,"ExportExcel.xlsx","ExcelDemo");
}
}
