The maximum number of cell styles was exceeded. You can define up to 4000 styles

excel poi中，导出的数据不是很大时，则不会有问题，而数据很多或者比较多时，

就会报以下的错误，是由于cell styles太多create造成，故一般可以把cellstyle设置放到循环外面

报错如下：

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The maximum number of cell styles was exceeded. You can define up to 4000 styles in a .xls workbook

Wrong :

for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {

Row row = sheet.createRow(i);

Cell cell = row.createCell((short) 0);

CellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();

Font font = workbook.createFont();

font.setBoldweight(Font.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);

style.setFont(font);

cell.setCellStyle(style);

}
Correct:
CellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();

Font font = workbook.createFont();

font.setBoldweight(Font.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);

style.setFont(font);

for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {

Row row = sheet.createRow(i);

Cell cell = row.createCell((short) 0);

cell.setCellStyle(style);

}
Note : LOC of creating fonts is inside the loop , because when you are writing the records to the row.  there is no need of keeping the font creation in loop , better move it outside the loop and try it . Sure popup message will not come in case of large datas populated in the worksheet .
