Hi,

I'm going nuts trying to retrieve VALUES out of an Excel 2007 workbook with 
ColdFusion 9.   What's happening is that I'm getting the 'formulas' instead of 
the 'values'.  The formulas are 'cross sheet' formulas (meaning they refer to 
another sheet in the same workbook).  I'm assuming this has something to do 
with the difficulty.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. reading sheet in with <cfspreadsheet> into a query.  
2. reading sheet in with SpreadsheetRead into an object and then using 
SpreadsheetGetCellValue() to get the cell value.
3. I've updated the POI jar's in my CF 9 installation with 3.8 POI jar's from 
Apache
4. I've tried using Ben Nadel's POI Utility, but I get an object instantiation 
error on this line:                      LOCAL.ExcelFileSystem = CreateObject( 
"java", "org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem" ).Init( 
LOCAL.FileInputStream );
(I've confirmed that I'm using the full path (as is indicated on his website)

I'm at a loss of how else to get this data out of the spreadsheet.  Has someone 
had success with this and, if so, what can I do?

Thanks,

Dave
