Hi Yegor,
Thanks a lot for your reply and for clarifying these things. How can I
create an AreaEval object from a double[][]? You mentioned that arrays are not
supported. Indeed I tried to run a test providing an array and I get the
following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected ptg class

Is there a way to implement this functionality on my own without going into the
source code of POI? Again, thanks a lot!
Best,
