Thanks for your help. I would like to define 5 decimal places to numeric number,
irrespective whether that numeric number has actual 4 or 10 decimal places. How could
I do that?
I couldn't find the format for displaying 5 decimal places to number in HSSFDataFormat
class. I tried following format, but it didn't work out. It always return -1 which
means format is undefined. While in excel, this format is defined under the custom
category of Format Cells window.
short formatIndex = HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("#,##0.00000")
short formatIndex = HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("#,##0.#####")
Thanks

yes that is true. You are always modifing the same java object, which
effects all the cells using this
object. Best is to create as many style objects as you have diffrent
sorts of styles. One for percentage, one for floating point numbers and
so on.
