Answer
Your code is globally correct it has only some little mistakes, here is how it could be done with your code:
JavaScript
// Use the try-with-resource statement to close all the resources properly
try (HSSFWorkbook workBook = new HSSFWorkbook();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/Users/parthpatil/Documents/11.xls")) {
// Create the Sheet
HSSFSheet Sheet = workBook.createSheet("products");
// Create the first row corresponding to the header
Row header = Sheet.createRow(0);
header.createCell(0).setCellValue("Product Name");
header.createCell(1).setCellValue("Product Price");
header.createCell(2).setCellValue("Product MRP");
// Ensure that all the List have the same size otherwise throw an exception
if (al.size() != bl.size() || al.size() != cl.size())
throw new IllegalStateException("Some data is missing");
// Iterate over all the list an create the rows of data
for(int i = 0; i < al.size(); i++){
// Create the current starting from 1 to al.size()
HSSFRow row = Sheet.createRow((short) i + 1);
// Cell of the Product Name
row.createCell(0).setCellValue(al.get(i));
// Cell of the Product Price
row.createCell(1).setCellValue(cl.get(i));
// Cell of the Product MRP
row.createCell(2).setCellValue(bl.get(i));
}
// Write the result into the file
workBook.write(fos);
}
