Please search the forum. We are discuss about working on with Excel in Java here in our community several times.

Hi Chetan,

I may have a ready made solution for you. I have created a Selenium/Java test framework, with a Excel interface, called Hrmes. It works with a Java API called POI.

Unsure whether the rules on this forum would call this advertising but google for "Hrmes Selenium W3QA". The framework is entirely free. W3QA is my company that promotes it.

I hope this helps.

Normally, to read a data in excel, first we should have access to workbook, sheet which we want to read as workbook contains multiple sheets and if you want to read a particular cell we need location of a Cell.

You can view more details and a sample program.
