In fact, even formulas are becoming less of an issue in POI. No VBA yet, and charts are still limited.

Yes, yes, and yes. All quite easily.

In fact, you have many more choices if you are generating a new
workbook rather than updating an existing one. The reason is that it's
a lot easier (for folks writing libraries) to write Excel than to
"losslessly" read Excel. (The losses I'm talking about are formulas,
formatting, charts, macros, etc. Just reading out raw data is not that
bad.)
