Sumit,
I don't understand how it would work for you. You must have known some
tricks to make it work. Running the sample code from the apache site gives a
nullpointer exception. I have to add one line to make work:
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(c:/temp/test.xls);
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fis);
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
HSSFFormulaEvaluator evaluator = new HSSFFormulaEvaluator(sheet, wb);
// suppose your formula is in B3
CellReference cellReference = new CellReference(B3);
HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(cellReference.getRow());
HSSFCell cell = row.getCell(cellReference.getCol());
evaluator.setCurrentRow(row); /*I add this*/
HSSFFormulaEvaluator.CellValue cellValue = evaluator.evaluate(cell);
The test.xls only has a very simple IF: IF(10, 1, 0). When I test it, the
cellValue.getCellType() = 5, which is CELL_TYPE_ERROR. When I run the
debugger, I saw the code generate a function called specialflag and then an
error.
I tested this with the 2.5.1 download as well as the current code base from
apache svn. The results are all the same.

The IF function in HSSF API is a bit tricky... but it does work to some
extent. I agree that it doesn't work in most of the usual scenarios. Like
it doesn't evaluate AND / OR conditions in the logical_test, it gives
problem evaluating nested IF conditions etc.
Yet I have tried to use it to the fullest possible extent post your
problem and lets see if we can solve it.

Function evaluation with IF
Has anyone tried the IF function evaluation? It doesn't seem to work yet.
I was going through the source code and have no clue how it is
implemented or to be implemented.
