Hi all, I'm new to the list. I've been a poi user for a year and have been loving it.
I need to parse some date fields from an xls file, and am a bit confused. It seems that if a cell contains a date, HSSFCell.getCellType() returns CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC. If I know in advance that the cell contains a date, I can easily convert the returned number into a date. But if I don't know in advance what is in the cell, how can I determine if the cell is a date or not? Is this something that the file format make particularly difficult, or is it a poi implementation issue?
