How can I compare 2 excel sheet content large data over 40,000 rows each cell and highlight not equal cell in red color under new result file .
- Below code have I have successful able to work with comparing 2 file but when I write the result file I get error for java.lang.NullPointerException for row3edit.setRowStyle(cellStyleRed);at method compareTwoSheets line 15
- Have copied 2nd excel file[Prod_Rel.xlsx] using java code to create a result file with data which will highlight not equal data.[ is there a better way to write result file]
- Used SXSSFWorkbook to keep 100 rows in memory, exceeding rows will be flushed to disk.
- XSSF cellStyleRed as SXSSFWorkbook cannot have cellstyle color and then convert to SXSSF
**Please read the code before posting reply **
