Now that I have learned how to fill the spreadsheet with data I am attempting to do some custom formatting of date, time and timestamp fields. However, it appears as though the methods for HSSFDataFormat do not exist. Attempting to create a custom date format as follows: m/d/yyyy h:mm AM/PM Using jar file: jakarta-poi-1.5.1-final-20020615.jar . . . received Java exception "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: getFormat" when calling method "getFormat" with signature "()V" in class "org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFDataFormat". Is there an updated jar file that I should be using? I would greatly appreciate any assistance and/or suggestions you could offer!! Thanks much!!!!
