| <section><title>Version 2.5 limitations</title> |
| <p> |
| The intent of this document is to outline some of the known limitations of the |
| POI HSSF API's. It is not intended to be complete list of every bug or missing |
| feature of HSSF, rather it's purpose is to provide a broad feel for some of the |
| functionality that is missing or broken. |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Charts<br/><br/> |
| You can not currently create charts. You can |
| however create a chart in Excel, modify the chart data values using HSSF and write |
| a new spreadsheet out. This is possible because POI attempts to keep existing records |
| intact as far as possible.<br/><br/> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Macros<br/><br/> |
| Macros can not be created. However, reading and re-writing files containing macros will |
| safely preserve the macros.<br/><br/> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Pivot Tables<br/><br/> |
| Generating pivot tables is not supported. It has been reported that files containing pivot |
| tables can be read and re-written safely. |
