Bug ID: 58460
Summary: Cell.getDateCellValue() does not document special case
when cell value is between 0 and 1
Product: POI
Version: 3.11-FINAL
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: SS Common
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When a cell value is in the interval [0, 1),
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell.getDateCellValue() returns a Date with the
date 1899-12-31. This cannot be converted back to an Excel Date as the year is
now less than 1900.
In such a case, the comparison excelDate ==
DateUtil.getExcelDate(DateUtil.getJavaDate(excelDate,false)) also fails.
It is not immediately apparent that excel dates in the interval [0, 1) do not
have an equivalent Date value in Java. A naive user might expect such a value
to be converted to 1900-01-01 xx:xx:xx instead of 1989-12-31 xx:xx:xx.
Please document this behaviour in the getDateCellValue() method and in the
DateUtil class.
