--- Comment #5 from Günter Hoffmann <[email protected]> --- Hi there, I wrote a test program and also a small web application using the newest beta version of POI (poi-3.11-beta2-20140822) and (as expected) the problem is still there. I´m not familiar with reporting bugs and what responses I can expect from you. So I don´t want to offend anybody but My Problem is: I have about 20 reports which get their data from a database. Each reports got several sheets and each sheet got 20 and more columns. So there are many, many statements like "call.setCellValue(dataFromDatabase)". It ´s rather impractical to add some conversion code to all these calls. And the fact is that the problem is in POI not in my/our code. In my opinion POI should offer a method where the programmer can decide whether he wants to have an automatic conversion of these "_xhhhh_" stuff or not. And the default behavior of setCellValue should be "I´d like to see the text in Excel as I can see it in the database". Or in other words: If I enter "_x0123_" in Excel it stays "_x0123_" in Excel, but if I enter "_x0123_ in POI (using setCellValue) it does not stay the same! So I don´t need a work-around I need a solution. And this solution should be in POI I think. So again: I don´t want to bother you (thanks to Dominik for his researches) but I need some "POI responsible" who corrects this mis-behavior in POI and then of course a new POI version some day. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
