        public static HSSFFormulaEvaluator create​(HSSFWorkbook workbook,
                                          IStabilityClassifier stabilityClassifier,

        stabilityClassifier - used to optimise caching performance. Pass null for the (conservative) assumption that any cell may have its definition changed after evaluation begins.
        udfFinder - pass null for default (AnalysisToolPak only)

      • setupEnvironment

        public static void setupEnvironment​(String[] workbookNames,
                                    HSSFFormulaEvaluator[] evaluators)
        Coordinates several formula evaluators together so that formulas that involve external references can be evaluated.
        Parameters:
        workbookNames - the simple file names used to identify the workbooks in formulas with external links (for example "MyData.xls" as used in a formula "[MyData.xls]Sheet1!A1")
        evaluators - all evaluators for the full set of workbooks required by the formulas.

      • setupReferencedWorkbooks

        public void setupReferencedWorkbooks​(Map<String,​FormulaEvaluator> evaluators)
        Description copied from interface: FormulaEvaluator
        Sets up the Formula Evaluator to be able to reference and resolve links to other workbooks, eg [Test.xls]Sheet1!A1.

        For a workbook referenced as [Test.xls]Sheet1!A1, you should supply a map containing the key Test.xls (no square brackets), and an open FormulaEvaluator onto that Workbook.

        Specified by:
        setupReferencedWorkbooks in interface FormulaEvaluator
        Overrides:
        setupReferencedWorkbooks in class BaseFormulaEvaluator
        Parameters:
        evaluators - Map of workbook names (no square brackets) to an evaluator on that workbook

      • notifyUpdateCell

        public void notifyUpdateCell​(HSSFCell cell)
        Should be called to tell the cell value cache that the specified (value or formula) cell has changed. Failure to call this method after changing cell values will cause incorrect behaviour of the evaluate~ methods of this class

      • notifyUpdateCell

        public void notifyUpdateCell​(Cell cell)
        Description copied from interface: FormulaEvaluator
        Should be called to tell the cell value cache that the specified (value or formula) cell has changed. Failure to call this method after changing cell values will cause incorrect behaviour of the evaluate~ methods of this class

      • notifyDeleteCell

        public void notifyDeleteCell​(HSSFCell cell)
        Should be called to tell the cell value cache that the specified cell has just been deleted. Failure to call this method after changing cell values will cause incorrect behaviour of the evaluate~ methods of this class

      • notifyDeleteCell

        public void notifyDeleteCell​(Cell cell)
        Description copied from interface: FormulaEvaluator
        Should be called to tell the cell value cache that the specified cell has just become a formula cell, or the formula text has changed

      • notifySetFormula

        public void notifySetFormula​(Cell cell)
        Should be called to tell the cell value cache that the specified (value or formula) cell has changed. Failure to call this method after changing cell values will cause incorrect behaviour of the evaluate~ methods of this class

      • evaluateInCell

        public HSSFCell evaluateInCell​(Cell cell)
        Description copied from class: BaseFormulaEvaluator
        If cell contains formula, it evaluates the formula, and puts the formula result back into the cell, in place of the old formula. Else if cell does not contain formula, this method leaves the cell unchanged. Note that the same instance of Cell is returned to allow chained calls like: 
         int evaluatedCellType = evaluator.evaluateInCell(cell).getCellType();
        Be aware that your cell value will be changed to hold the result of the formula. If you simply want the formula value computed for you, use BaseFormulaEvaluator.evaluateFormulaCell(Cell)}
        Specified by:
        evaluateInCell in interface FormulaEvaluator
        Overrides:
        evaluateInCell in class BaseFormulaEvaluator
        Parameters:
        cell - The Cell to evaluate and modify.
        Returns:
        the cell that was passed in, allowing for chained calls

      • evaluateAllFormulaCells

        public static void evaluateAllFormulaCells​(HSSFWorkbook wb)
        Loops over all cells in all sheets of the supplied workbook. For cells that contain formulas, their formulas are evaluated, and the results are saved. These cells remain as formula cells. For cells that do not contain formulas, no changes are made. This is a helpful wrapper around looping over all cells, and calling evaluateFormulaCell on each one.

      • evaluateAllFormulaCells

        public static void evaluateAllFormulaCells​(Workbook wb)
        Loops over all cells in all sheets of the supplied workbook. For cells that contain formulas, their formulas are evaluated, and the results are saved. These cells remain as formula cells. For cells that do not contain formulas, no changes are made. This is a helpful wrapper around looping over all cells, and calling evaluateFormulaCell on each one.

      • evaluateAll

        public void evaluateAll()
        Loops over all cells in all sheets of the supplied workbook. For cells that contain formulas, their formulas are evaluated, and the results are saved. These cells remain as formula cells. For cells that do not contain formulas, no changes are made. This is a helpful wrapper around looping over all cells, and calling evaluateFormulaCell on each one.

      • setIgnoreMissingWorkbooks

        public void setIgnoreMissingWorkbooks​(boolean ignore)
        Whether to ignore missing references to external workbooks and use cached formula results in the main workbook instead.

        In some cases external workbooks referenced by formulas in the main workbook are not available. With this method you can control how POI handles such missing references:

        Specified by:
        setIgnoreMissingWorkbooks in interface FormulaEvaluator
        Overrides:
        setIgnoreMissingWorkbooks in class BaseFormulaEvaluator
        Parameters:
        ignore - whether to ignore missing references to external workbooks

      • setDebugEvaluationOutputForNextEval

        public void setDebugEvaluationOutputForNextEval​(boolean value)
        Perform detailed output of formula evaluation for next evaluation only? Is for developer use only (also developers using POI for their XLS files). Log-Level WARN is for basic info, INFO for detailed information. These quite high levels are used because you have to explicitly enable this specific logging.
        Specified by:
        setDebugEvaluationOutputForNextEval in interface FormulaEvaluator
        Overrides:
        setDebugEvaluationOutputForNextEval in class BaseFormulaEvaluator
        Parameters:
        value - whether to perform detailed output
