How to access cell value from pivot table from excel sheet using Apache POI? I tried using XSSFPivotTable.getPivotTables, but not able to access cell value. Book1.xlsx is the excel workbook which has a pivot table on sheet Sheet1.
FileInoutStream input = new FileInputStream(new File(Book1.xlsx));
XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(input);
XSSFSheet sh = wb.getSheet("Sheet1");
XSSFPivotTable pt = sh.getPivotTables().get(0);
Not able to access the cells in pt pivot table ahead of this.
Below a custom way to access to pivot table header and data , im not sure but i couldnt find a way to access to the data via library , searching on line i read something about, which says it is not supported yet .
Lets see what i did :
Input file :
Tranform letters in numbers for columns:
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>() {
{
int index =1;
for (char ch = 'A'; ch <= 'Z'; ++ch) {
put(String.valueOf(ch), index);
index++;
}
}
};
Getting table object
java.util.List<XSSFPivotTable> l = sh.getPivotTables();
Below the code which will make a trick for the result

Looking at ref="F6:G7" i know the range which will make the trick
String range = l.get(0).getCTPivotTableDefinition().getLocation().getRef(); //F6:G7 rows/cols reference - case of our sheet
//determinate range of table
int firstcol = map.get(range.substring(0, 1));
int firstrow = Integer.parseInt(range.substring(1, 2));
int lastcol = map.get(range.substring(3, 4));
int lastrow = Integer.parseInt(range.substring(4, 5));
The complete code :
public static void main(String[] args) {
//tranform letters in numbers for columns
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>() {
{
int index =1;
for (char ch = 'A'; ch <= 'Z'; ++ch) {
put(String.valueOf(ch), index);
index++;
}
}
};
try {
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(new File("C:\\Desktop\\ook.xlsx"));
XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(input);
XSSFSheet sh = wb.getSheet("Sheet1");
Iterator<Row> rowIterator = sh.iterator();
ArrayList columndata = new ArrayList<>();
java.util.List<XSSFPivotTable> l = sh.getPivotTables();
String range = l.get(0).getCTPivotTableDefinition().getLocation().getRef(); //F6:G7 rows/cols reference - case of our sheet
//determinate range of table
int firstcol = map.get(range.substring(0, 1));
int firstrow = Integer.parseInt(range.substring(1, 2));
int lastcol = map.get(range.substring(3, 4));
int lastrow = Integer.parseInt(range.substring(4, 5));
while (rowIterator.hasNext()) {
Row row = rowIterator.next();
if(checkrightrowcol(row.getRowNum()+1, firstrow, lastrow)){
Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();
while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
if(checkrightrowcol(cell.getColumnIndex()+1,firstcol,lastcol)){
switch(cell.getCellType()){
case Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC: // numeric value
System.out.println(cell.getNumericCellValue());
break;
case Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING: // String Value
System.out.println(cell.getStringCellValue());
break;
//..add more
}
}
}
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Explanation of checkrightrowcol
public static boolean checkrightrowcol(int n , int start, int end){
while (start!=end){
if(n == start || n == end)
return true;
start++;
}
return false;
}
If it returns true im in the table data , in the main i use "+1" because rows and columns indexes start from "0"
Result :
