It would help if you post the line of code where the error is occurring. And 
also, what the actual error it is that is occurring. If the cell is value is 
numeric, don’t use a cell that is defined as text.

Subject: POI 3.8 Invalid cell type


Hi All.

I recently upgraded to POI 3.8. I am having issue with cell type when trying to 
read xls file. The cell is defined as a text. But value in the cell is 
numeric(5678). When I validate the cell type I can see that it is 
Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC and the value in the cell is 5678.0

Here is the code I have:
...
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Workbook;
....
Workbook workbook = null;
FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(fileName); 
if(fileExt.equals("xls"){
    workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fileInputStream); } if(fileExt.equals("xlsx"){
    workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fileInputStream); } sheet = 
workbook.getSheetAt(0); xlsRow = sheet.getRow(0);

etc....


Am I doing  something wrong?

Thank you,
Feliks.
