B4J Code Snippet export Tableview to excel with jPOI

This is my first code snippet, for exporting a tableview to an excel. ITs my first serious attempt to work with b4j after trying various tools for months. I am now certain i made the best choice to start working with b4j. After searching the forum i managed to put together this sub... no big deal for some of you but for me its a huge step in programming.

I use the jPoi library and export the data i have in TableView to excel.

Thanks Erel for B4x.

Sub CreateXLfromTableView(x As TableView, sheetName As String, XLname as String)
  
    Dim wb As PoiWorkbook
    wb.InitializeNew(True) 'create new excel workbook
  
    'Create sheet and add the name we called the sub with
    Dim sheet1 As PoiSheet  
    sheet1 = wb.AddSheet(sheetName,0)
  
    'First Line has the titles from the tableview
    Dim titleRow As PoiRow = sheet1.CreateRow(0)
    For i = 0 To (x.ColumnsCount - 1)
        titleRow.CreateCellString(i, x.GetColumnHeader(i))
    Next
  
    'Create first data row
    Dim dataRow As PoiRow = sheet1.CreateRow(1)
  
    'A var to hold the values of each row
    Dim rowValues() As String

    'Go through each row
    For curSet = 0 To (x.Items.Size - 1)
      
        'Get the values of each row
        rowValues = x.Items.Get(curSet)
      
        'Assign the values to a temp variable to go through the values and write them to the cell
        Dim excelCell As Int = 0
        For Each s In rowValues  
            dataRow.CreateCellString(excelCell,s)
            excelCell = excelCell  + 1
        Next
  
        'Go to the next row... remember, first row is title and second row is the beginning of data...
        dataRow = sheet1.CreateRow(curSet + 2)
        dataRow.RowNumber = curSet + 2
    Next
  
    wb.Save(File.DirApp, XLname)
    wb.Close
  
End Sub

Just what I needed.
Note to other users. I had to change the
Dim rowValues() As String
to an Object, as I had mixed data.
It have strange array error that only happened in release mode, not debug mode.

Thank you.
