Программа Microsoft Excel предоставляет пользователям необходимые инструменты и функции для работы с электронными таблицами. Ее возможности постоянно расширяются, исправляются различные ошибки и корректируются присутствующие элементы. Для нормального взаимодействия с софтом его следует периодически обновлять. В разных версиях Экселя этот процесс немного отличается.
Обновление актуальных версий Excel
На данный момент поддерживается версия 2010 и все последующие, поэтому для них регулярно выпускаются исправления и нововведения. Хоть Excel 2007 и не поддерживается, для него также доступны обновления. Процесс их установки описан во второй части нашей статьи. Поиск и инсталляция во всех актуальных сборках, кроме 2010 осуществляется одинаково. Если же вы обладатель упомянутой версии, вам нужно перейти ко вкладке «Файл», открыть раздел «Справка» и нажать на «Проверить наличие обновлений». Далее просто следуйте инструкциям, отобразившимся на экране.

Обновляем Microsoft Excel 2007 на компьютере
За все время существования рассматриваемого ПО вышло несколько его версий и для них было выпущено множество различных обновлений. Сейчас поддержка Excel 2007 и 2003 прекратилась, поскольку акцент был сделан на разработку и совершенствование более актуальных компонентов. Однако если для 2003 не найти никаких обновлений, то с 2007 дела обстоят немного по-другому.
Способ 1: Обновление через интерфейс программы
Данный метод все еще нормально функционирует в операционной системе Windows 7, но последующих версиях им пользоваться нельзя. Если же вы обладатель упомянутой выше ОС и хотите загрузить обновление к Excel 2007, сделать это можно так:
- Слева вверху окна находится кнопка «Меню». Нажмите ее и перейдите в «Параметры Excel».
- В разделе «Ресурсы» выберите пункт «Проверить наличие обновлений».
- Дождитесь окончания сканирования и инсталляции, если это требуется.
Если перед вами отобразилось окно с просьбой воспользоваться «Центром обновления Windows», обратитесь к статьям по ссылкам ниже. В них предоставлены инструкции на тему запуска службы и ручной установки компонентов. Вместе со всеми остальными данными на ПК инсталлируются и файлы к Экселю.

In the previous tutorial, I have explained about create a new excel file and write data in that new excel file using Java. In this tutorial, I will explain How to open and update existing excel files in Java.
I’m using Apache POI to write data to the excel file. To download and install Apache POI, refer here.
If you are using maven, then you need to add below dependency in pom.xml.
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId> <artifactId>poi</artifactId> <version>5.0.0</version> </dependency> <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi-ooxml --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId> <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId> <version>5.0.0</version> </dependency>
To know more about various interfaces and classes for managing Excel, please refer to this tutorial.
In the below example, I have an existing excel with the name of “EmployeeDetails.xlsx”
This is excel which I am going to update. I will add 2 rows below the last row in the excel.
Below is the complete example of updating the data in existing excel. One thing we need to note here is that we can update the excel file only when we close it first.
import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFCell; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFRow; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook; public class ExcelFileUpdateExample { public static void main(String[] args) { try { FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("EmployeeDetails.xlsx")); // Create object of XSSFWorkbook class XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis); // Create object of XSSFWorkbook class XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("Write_TestData"); Object[][] bookData = { { "SeleniumTest", "0000A", 9999 }, { "JavaTest", "0000B", 9990 }, }; // Get last row in Sheet int rowCount = sheet.getLastRowNum(); for (Object[] Book : bookData) { // Create row for all the new data XSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(++rowCount); int columnCount = 0; // Create new cell for each row XSSFCell cell = row.createCell(columnCount); for (Object field : Book) { cell = row.createCell(columnCount++); if (field instanceof String) { cell.setCellValue((String) field); } else if (field instanceof Integer) { cell.setCellValue((Integer) field); } } } fis.close(); // Write the workbook in file system FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("EmployeeDetails.xlsx"); workbook.write(outputStream); System.out.println("Excel is updated successfully"); // Close the workbook workbook.close(); outputStream.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Below is the updated excel.
Update a specific cell in the Excel file
In the below example, I will update the value in a specific cell. As you can see the above image, I will update 1004S to “Updated Value”. Below is the code snippet for the same.
XSSFCell cell = sheet.getRow(4).getCell(1); cell.setCellType(CellType.STRING); cell.setCellValue("Updated Value");
Below is the entire program.
package com.example.seleniumdemo; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.CellType; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFCell; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFSheet; import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook; public class UpdateExcelDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { try { // Create an object of FileInputStream class to read excel file FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("EmployeeDetails.xlsx")); // Create object of XSSFWorkbook class XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fis); // Read excel sheet by sheet name XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheet("Write_TestData"); // Print data present at row 0 column 2 System.out.println(sheet.getRow(4).getCell(1).getStringCellValue()); // Get the Cell at index 3 from the above row XSSFCell cell = sheet.getRow(4).getCell(1); cell.setCellType(CellType.STRING); cell.setCellValue("Updated Value"); // Write the output to the file FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(new File("EmployeeDetails.xlsx")); workbook.write(fileOut); System.out.println("Id column in Excel is updated successfully"); fileOut.close(); // Closing the workbook workbook.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
That’s it! Well done.

Summary: Are you unable to open Excel file after upgrading to a new version? Read this blog to know the possible reasons behind such an issue. Also, find the solutions on ‘how to repair Excel files after upgrade?’. If you are worried about losing your crucial spreadsheet data, try using a specialized Excel file repair tool to repair the file and recover all its data.
Microsoft Excel is an advanced spreadsheet software program by Microsoft, included in the MS Office suite of applications. Apart from the basic spreadsheet features, Excel is used for recording, organizing, analyzing, formatting and manipulating numerical data. In addition to that, Excel features graphing tools, pivot tables and also VBA macro capabilities. Microsoft Excel is part of the Microsoft Office Suite and it is used both for personal and business objectives. XLS and XLSX are the two extensions for an Excel file and thanks to backward compatibility each file can be easily opened in any of the two versions.
But do you think even after possessing such an impressive suite of features MS Excel is a full-proof application? The answer to that is no! There are a lot of unforeseen situations that Excel users can face when working with the application. Take the following problem scenario for example.
