A CELL_TYPE_BLANK cell can have formatting applied, such as borders and background colors.
There is no need to set CELL_TYPE_BLANK if you don't need the formatting (it would only waste space). -----Original Message----- From: Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 10:42 PM To: POI Users List Subject: question re setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK) Is it valid to use: xcell.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK); Is there any reason to do that, rather than simply not creating the cell?
