Cell c = r.getCell(colNum);

Get cell value

String cellVal = c.getStringCellValue(); Or boolean b = c.getBooleanCellValue(); or Date d = c.getDateCellValue(); Or int I = c.getNumericCellValue();

Get cell value based on value in excel cell

Get row count

int I = s.getLastRowNum();

Get Column count

int j = r. getLastCellNum ();

Write back to excel

c.setCellValue(“PASS1”); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(“Path of .xlsx file “); wb.write(fos); fos.close();

Drag, Drop and Mouse Over, Mouse Events:

We use Actions Class for drag and drop Create an object to action class Actions a=new Actions(driver);
