Outputting to Excel Document

[JBurk94]

I am currently working towards taking input from the user and storing it in an excel document. However how can I test to make sure that I am trying to save it to an empty cell. Is there some type of method that will check to make sure the cell is empty, otherwise how can this be done?

Are you referring to having a Java application to get input from a user, and then store the input into an .xls document? If so, you'll be better off using a library such as Apache POI - the Java API for Microsoft Documents. The exact way to do this is described at java - Edit existing excel files using jxl api / Apache POI - Stack Overflow.

That link really shows next to nothing about the OP's question.
The POI documentation has far more thorough examples...
