Hi, thanks a whole lot for the hint, Karl-Heinz. Unfortunatly my client didn't liked the idea to prefix the values 'cause they are in the visibility of the end user. But, my technical lead found a hack by setting the cell data format:
[..] HSSFCellStyle cellStyle = cell.getCellStyle(); short cellDataformat = cellStyle.getDataFormat(); cellStyle.setDataFormat((short) 49); // Comment in HSSFDataFormat: /* 0x31, "@" - This is text format.<P> */ [..] After that the format is 'rocksolid' text and can't easly read in Strings.
