I have a cell in my spreadsheet that looks like "115". I verified that it is
formatted as "Text" (Format Cells -> Text).

However, when I read it in as
row.getCell(0).toString()

I get this string: "115.0"

Formatted as text does not mean stored as text, they're different. Excel has stored your cell as a number, and when you ask POI for the cell you get a numeric cell back.

If you ask the cell you get back what type it is, you'll discover it's of type CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC and not CELL_TYPE_STRING

What you'll likely want to do is use the DataFormatter class to have your cell formatted as per Excel. It'll then look like you expect. (As will cells formatted as currency, percentages etc too)
