Can we read an excel file with many sheets with there indexes?

sarvesh — Thu, 25 Nov 2021 11:02:48 GMT

I am trying to read a excel file which has 3 sheets which have integers as there names,

sheet 1 name = 21

sheet 2 name = 24

sheet 3 name = 224

i got this data from a user so I can't change the sheet name, but with spark reading these is an issue.

code -

val sheetName = "provided by user"

val df = spark.read

.format("com.crealytics.spark.excel").

option("header", "true").

option("inferSchema", "false").

option("dataAddress", f"$sheetName").

load("/home/sarveshks/data/xl.xlsx")

df.show(5)

stack -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot get a STRING value from a NUMERIC cell

I know what this error is trying to say, what i want is to read different sheets by there indexes that is

sheet name 21 has index 0

sheet name 24 has index 1

i want to read the sheets by there index not by there names.
