I am very interested in the answer to this one. I have been meaning to start researching this, but just haven't gotten the time yet. I would gladly accept responsibility to work on this, unless anyone knows why it WOULD NOT be possible? It seems like an obviuos need, which scares me into thinking there is a reason it hasn't already been done. Anyone?

The method getCellType() delivers always CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC for my dates. Why is there no constant for cell.getCellType() like HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_DATETIME? Also cell.getCellStyle().getDataFormat() is always 0 (General). Thanx Oliver
