Java Code for Merging XLSB Files into DOTM: A Complete Guide

// Merge XLSB to HTML
LightCellsApi api = new LightCellsApi(System.getenv("CellsCloudTestClientId"),System.getenv("CellsCloudTestClientSecret"),"v3.0",System.getenv("CellsCloudTestApiBaseUrl"));
String remoteFolder = "TestData/";
    String localName = "Book1.xlsx";
    String remoteName = "Book1.xlsx";
    String AssemblyTestXlsx = "assemblytest.xlsx";
String DataSourceXlsx = "datasource.xlsx";
HashMap<String,File> fileMap = new HashMap<String,File>();
fileMap.put(AssemblyTestXlsx , new File("D:\\TestData\\" + AssemblyTestXlsx));
fileMap.put(DataSourceXlsx , new File("D:\\TestData\\" + DataSourceXlsx) );

    PostMergeRequest request = new PostMergeRequest();
    request.setFile(fileMap);
    request.setFormat("png");
    request.setMergeToOneSheet(false);
    request.setPassword("");
    request.setCheckExcelRestriction(false);

    FileInfo response =  api.postMerge(request);

// Merge HTML to DOTM
ApiClient apiClient = new ApiClient(/*clientId*/ "####-####-####-####-####", /*clientSecret*/ "##################", null);
WordsApi wordsApi = new WordsApi(apiClient);
String localFile = "Sample.docx";

byte[] requestDocument = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(localFile).toAbsolutePath());
byte[] requestDocumentListDocumentEntries0FileReferenceStream = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(TestInitializer.LocalTestFolder, localFile).toAbsolutePath());

How to Merge XLSB to DOTM in Cloud Apps

  1. Initialize WordsApi with Client Id, Client Secret, Base URL & API version
  2. Set requestDocument assign the local XLSB file name
  3. Set requestDocumentListDocumentEntriesFileReference and assign local DOTM file name
  4. Set requestDocumentListDocumentEntries and set file_reference, import_format_mode parameters
  5. Create DocumentEntryList instance and assing requestDocumentListDocumentEntries to document_entries parameter
  6. Call AppendDocumentOnlineRequest to merge XLSB file with DOTM document requestDocument and requestDocumentList
  7. Call WordsApi appendDocumentOnline with parameters

FAQ

  • What is XLSB Format?
    XLSB file format specifies the Excel Binary File Format, which is a collection of records and structures that specify Excel workbook content. The content can include unstructured or semi-structured tables of numbers, text, or both numbers and text, formulas, external data connections, charts and images. Unlike XLSX (which is based on Open XML file format), the XLSB represents binary Excel workbook file. XLSB files can be read and written to faster which makes them useful for working with large files. XLSB is seldom used to store workbooks as XLSX (and previously XLS) are the most common user selected file formats for saving workbooks. It can be opened by Microsoft Office 2007 and above.
  • Is it safe to merge XLSB to DOTM in the Cloud?
    Of course! Aspose Cloud uses Amazon EC2 cloud servers that guarantee the security and resilience of the service. Please read more about Aspose's Security Practices.
  • What is DOTM Format?
    A file with DOTM extension represents template file created with Microsoft Word 2007 or higher. It is similar to the popular DOCX file format other than it retains the user defined settings for reuse in case of creating new documents. Such documents are more often used in offices where a standard template file is generated with settings like page information, margins, default layout and macros, and is used to create new documents from it when required. DOTM files, however, save macros, that are a series of commands in the form of recorded actions for automatic completion of a task. This helps save time in carrying out actions that are repeated in completion of a task.
  • What file formats are supported by Aspose.Total Cloud API?
