Hello,
I'm reading data from an XLS sheet using POI. One of the columns
contains data in the Excel Zip Code + 4 format. However, the values that
are being returned are not in the correct format. For example, a zip
code value of 00009-4612 is being returned as 94612. After trying a
bunch of different things, here's a snippet of what I'm doing now:
HSSFCellStyle zipStyle = hssfworkbook.createCellStyle();
zipStyle.setDataFormat(format.getFormat("00000-0000"));
...
HSSFCell c = row.getCell(zipCol);
c.setCellStyle(zipStyle);
...
if (cellType == HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC)
{
Double D = new Double(c.getNumericCellValue());
Integer I = new Integer(D.intValue());
double d = D.doubleValue();
int i = I.intValue();
if(d > i)
{
returnString = D.toString();
}
returnString = I.toString();
}
else if (cellType == HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING) returnString =
c.getStringCellValue();
else if (cellType == HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA) returnString =
c.getCellFormula();
I know I'm probably doing something very, very wrong so if someone could
point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
