In this article you will see how to write a huge excel file.
Using SXSSFWorkbook you can write large excel file. It is a Streaming version of XSSFWorkbook implementing the "BigGridDemo" strategy. This allows to write very large files without running out of memory as only a configurable portion of the rows are kept in memory at any one time.
Note - I have tested it to write 10,48,576 rows which created 40 MB excel file. If you want to write more rows than this then you may opt to write CSV file.
