If I put number (like 2009, 345) into a Excel cell, I changed the Cell Format to “Text”.
When I use POI to read that cell, it still thinks it is a numerical cell.
Anyone had the same issue ? I am on POI 3.8.
Thanks !
POI isn’t magic, it’ll give you back what the excel file says is there!
In many cases, if you put a number into a cell, Excel will write that to the file as a number with formatting.
If you want a String back of what Excel displays, use DataFormatter to have the number formatted as per the styling rules on the cell
