I am using the HSSF event model to read assorted spreadsheets - very nice. I am now looking for an approach, such that when the code is presented with a record event, the code is able to access cell type information.
Some specific questions: 1) While the EventModel is generating events, is it also building the UserModel? 2) When the EventModel is notifying me about a NumberRecord, does the UserModel have the information on the same underlying cell to give me an HSSFCell object? Or how can I transform a record to an HSSFCell? Or given the underlying information, can I ask the UserModel (I know it does not exist in the same way I am using it in this document) to give me the HSSFCell at that location? 3) Given that I am trying to get format and style information for the cell - is there another way? I've spent several hours crawling the archives and docs and code and sense this may be easy or hard and have not a clue which. Thank you in advance, Bill
