Field Detail

### INITIAL_CAPACITY

    public static final int INITIAL_CAPACITY

  Used for compile-time optimization. This is the initial size for the collection of rows. It is currently set to 20. If you generate larger sheets you may benefit by setting this to a higher number and recompiling a custom edition of HSSFSheet.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Method Detail

  Specified by:
    `createRow` in interface `Sheet`
  Parameters:
    `rownum` - row number
  Returns:
    High level HSSFRow object representing a row in the sheet
  See Also:
    `HSSFRow`, `removeRow(org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row)`

### removeRow

    `removeRow` in interface `Sheet`
  Parameters:
    `row` - representing a row to remove.

### getRow

    public HSSFRow getRow(int rowIndex)

  Returns the logical row (not physical) 0-based. If you ask for a row that is not defined you get a null. This is to say row 4 represents the fifth row on a sheet.

  Specified by:
    `getRow` in interface `Sheet`
  Parameters:
    `rowIndex` - row to get
  Returns:
    HSSFRow representing the row number or null if its not defined on the sheet

### getLastRowNum

    public int getLastRowNum()

  Gets the number last row on the sheet. Owing to idiosyncrasies in the excel file format, if the result of calling this method is zero, you can't tell if that means there are zero rows on the sheet, or one at position zero. For that case, additionally call `getPhysicalNumberOfRows()` to tell if there is a row at position zero or not.

  Specified by:
    `getLastRowNum` in interface `Sheet`
