Hi Marc:
Is this the class you might be looking for?
http://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFRichTextString.html
You can use HSSFCell.getRichStringCellValue() to get Excel formatted string.
http://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFCell.html
Or another interpretation of what you may be thinking is a combination
of HSSFCell.getCellNum() and HSSFCell.getCellStyle()
http://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFCell.html
Hope this helps.

Hi,
is there a simple way to get the formatted value (as String) of a cell
without having to use custom code to deal with the cell format?
If no, wouldn't it make sense to add such a feature?
Cheers,
Marc.
