Field Detail

### RETURN_NULL_AND_BLANK

    static final Row.MissingCellPolicy RETURN_NULL_AND_BLANK

  Missing cells are returned as null, Blank cells are returned as normal

### RETURN_BLANK_AS_NULL

    static final Row.MissingCellPolicy RETURN_BLANK_AS_NULL

  Missing cells are returned as null, as are blank cells

### CREATE_NULL_AS_BLANK

    static final Row.MissingCellPolicy CREATE_NULL_AS_BLANK

  A new, blank cell is created for missing cells. Blank cells are returned as normal

Method Detail

### createCell

    Cell createCell(int column)

  Use this to create new cells within the row and return it.

  The cell that is returned is a `Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK`. The type can be changed either through calling `setCellValue` or `setCellType`.

  Parameters:
    `column` - - the column number this cell represents
  Returns:
    Cell a high level representation of the created cell.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if columnIndex < 0 or greater than the maximum number of supported columns (255 for *.xls, 1048576 for *.xlsx)

### createCell

    Cell createCell(int column,
                    int type)

  Use this to create new cells within the row and return it.

  The cell that is returned is a `Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK`. The type can be changed either through calling setCellValue or setCellType.

  Parameters:
    `column` - - the column number this cell represents
  Returns:
    Cell a high level representation of the created cell.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if columnIndex < 0 or greate than a maximum number of supported columns (255 for *.xls, 1048576 for *.xlsx)

### removeCell

    void removeCell(Cell cell)

  Remove the Cell from this row.

  Parameters:
    `cell` - the cell to remove

### setRowNum

    void setRowNum(int rowNum)

  Set the row number of this row.

  Parameters:
    `rowNum` - the row number (0-based)
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if rowNum < 0

### getRowNum

    int getRowNum()

  Get row number this row represents

  Returns:
    the row number (0 based)

### getCell

    Cell getCell(int cellnum)

  Get the cell representing a given column (logical cell) 0-based. If you ask for a cell that is not defined....you get a null.

  Parameters:
    `cellnum` - 0 based column number
  Returns:
    Cell representing that column or null if undefined.
  See Also:
    `getCell(int, org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row.MissingCellPolicy)`

### getCell

    Cell getCell(int cellnum,
                 Row.MissingCellPolicy policy)

  Returns the cell at the given (0 based) index, with the specified `Row.MissingCellPolicy`

  Returns:
    the cell at the given (0 based) index
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if cellnum < 0 or the specified MissingCellPolicy is invalid
  See Also:
    `RETURN_NULL_AND_BLANK`, `RETURN_BLANK_AS_NULL`, `CREATE_NULL_AS_BLANK`

### getFirstCellNum

    short getFirstCellNum()

  Get the number of the first cell contained in this row.

  Returns:
    short representing the first logical cell in the row, or -1 if the row does not contain any cells.

### getLastCellNum

    short getLastCellNum()

  Gets the index of the last cell contained in this row PLUS ONE. The result also happens to be the 1-based column number of the last cell. This value can be used as a standard upper bound when iterating over cells:

       short minColIx = row.getFirstCellNum();
       short maxColIx = row.getLastCellNum();
       for(short colIx=minColIx; colIx<maxColIx; colIx++) {
         Cell cell = row.getCell(colIx);
         if(cell == null) {
           continue;
         }
         //... do something with cell
       }

  Returns:
    short representing the last logical cell in the row PLUS ONE, or -1 if the row does not contain any cells.

### getPhysicalNumberOfCells

    int getPhysicalNumberOfCells()

  Gets the number of defined cells (NOT number of cells in the actual row!). That is to say if only columns 0,4,5 have values then there would be 3.

  Returns:
    int representing the number of defined cells in the row.

### setHeight

    void setHeight(short height)

  Set the row's height or set to ff (-1) for undefined/default-height. Set the height in "twips" or 1/20th of a point.

  Parameters:
    `height` - rowheight or 0xff for undefined (use sheet default)

### setZeroHeight

    void setZeroHeight(boolean zHeight)

  Set whether or not to display this row with 0 height

  Parameters:
    `zHeight` - height is zero or not.

### getZeroHeight

    boolean getZeroHeight()

  Get whether or not to display this row with 0 height

  Returns:
    - zHeight height is zero or not.

### setHeightInPoints

    void setHeightInPoints(float height)

  Set the row's height in points.

  Parameters:
    `height` - the height in points. `-1` resets to the default height

### getHeight

    short getHeight()

  Get the row's height measured in twips (1/20th of a point). If the height is not set, the default worksheet value is returned, See `Sheet.getDefaultRowHeightInPoints()`

  Returns:
    row height measured in twips (1/20th of a point)

### getHeightInPoints

    float getHeightInPoints()

  Returns row height measured in point size. If the height is not set, the default worksheet value is returned, See `Sheet.getDefaultRowHeightInPoints()`

  Returns:
    row height measured in point size
  See Also:
    `Sheet.getDefaultRowHeightInPoints()`

### isFormatted

    boolean isFormatted()

  Is this row formatted? Most aren't, but some rows do have whole-row styles. For those that do, you can get the formatting from `getRowStyle()`

### getRowStyle

    CellStyle getRowStyle()

  Returns the whole-row cell styles. Most rows won't have one of these, so will return null. Call `isFormatted()` to check first.

### setRowStyle

    void setRowStyle(CellStyle style)

  Applies a whole-row cell styling to the row.

### cellIterator

    java.util.Iterator<Cell> cellIterator()

  Returns:
    Cell iterator of the physically defined cells. Note element 4 may actually be row cell depending on how many are defined!

### getSheet

    Sheet getSheet()

  Returns the Sheet this row belongs to

  Returns:
    the Sheet that owns this row
