Did this previously work on older versions of POI? My guess is that the cell style overrides the row style. The cell style should unset any property that should be inherited from the row style.
Are you starting with a new workbook and using the code from the linked quick guide? If not, could you provide the code and/or workbook needed to reproduce the issue?

With version 3.16 of POI, highlighting an entire row only works on empty cells in that row. But highlighting specific cells works fine, see example below. https://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/quick-guide.html#FillsAndFrills -- View this message in context: http://apache-poi.1045710.n5. nabble.com/XSSF-cell-background-solid-tp5715249p5727677.html Sent from the POI - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@poi.apache.org
