Would there be a huge performance impact if I use getCellByPosition(int column, int row) more than a hundred times with different column and row parameters while setting the string value of each cell in calc? I am using the Java API? My programming is writing data to spreadsheet cell. The program will populate hundred of cells. Is there a better way to populate the cells then by using getCellByPosition() for each cell? If so, what is a more efficient way?

Thanks

Many calls for UNO objects will generally slow your code. It is faster to use the getDataArray() method of a cell range, edit the array in your code and then use setDataArray() to repopulate the cells.

Thanks for the response FJCC.
