--- Comment #8 from J English <jengl...@xifin.com> --- Yes, the reason is that we import data from a csv file, which stores the data as comma-delimited String values; thus, when we import the data, all values are imported as a Strings and I use POI to populate the cells in the order specified in the csv file. Also, depending my clients, I can have different variations of excel files, some with multiple numeric columns, which introduces a layer of unpredictability. However, I do understand what you mean. In order for a value to be recognized as a numeric value, I need to parse the value as an integer value before setting that value for the cell. That makes sense to me. I will give that a try. Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
