In Excel, if I have a cell with any of these: =VALUE("12-1-2017") =VALUE("2017/11/05") =VALUE("03/31/2015")
Excel recognizes it's a date and returns the appropriate Double. In POI, if I evaluate the cell, I get an error back. Looking at the code (and documentation) for Value, it seems as though POI expects a non-date number. There's also DateValue, of course. I think, Value should evaluate as Excel's VALUE function does. Unless I miss something. In any event, VALUE in a cell should be something that POI should be able to catch. -- *Blake Watson* *PNMAC* Application Development Manager 5898 Condor Drive Moorpark, CA 93021 (805) 330.4911 x7742 blake.wat...@pnmac.com www.PennyMacUSA.com <http://www.pennymacusa.com/>
