Bug ID: 58440
Summary: Error while trying to get the formula from an Excel
workbook
Product: POI
Version: 3.12-FINAL
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: SS Common
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I'm using Apache POI to alter some values in an Excel document and then read
the result from different cells. Everything went ok until I got a test document
from the client. After testing it I found out that I have two issues:
1) When I try to get the value from a cell that has a formula but returns the
result formatted as currency with the € sign as a prefix I get an error.
2) When I try to get the value from a cell that references another cell that is
a formula (eg.: cell B20 from Sheet 3 has the value of "=Sheet 2!A20" where A20
in Sheet 2 is a SUM() formula.), I get an error.
The error is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException:
Cannot get a numeric value from a error formula cell.
The document name, input columns (where the values are altered) and output
columns (from where the values are read) are taken from the command line.
You can find my code bellow:
