We need to be able to format a cell as a combo (dropdown) having supplied a list of valid values e.g. format cell 0,1 as a dropdown with these possible values (A1, A2, S3). This can be done in Excel using Data | Validation | Settings | Allow = List, Source = A1,A2,S3. We need to be able to do this using the API. We are using jakarta-poi-1.5.0-dev-20020416-bin.zip. I have looked in the 1.7 version but there is no method on HSSFCell for this. Regards Craig
Enhancement. Not on anyone's radar at the moment.
Data validation was added in bug 27511 and bug 44007. Some fixes (like bug 44201, bug 44710) have been applied since then. POI seems to support the basic use cases OK.
