>From the Javadoc for evaluate(Cell):
"This method should be preferred over evaluateInCell() when the call should
not modify the contents of the original cell."
You need to use the result of this call, a CellValue instance, like the POI
example page shows, as this call doesn't save the formula evaluation result
in the cell.
Or, you can use
evaluateFormulaCell(Cell)
instead. As the Javadoc says, this method updates the cached value but
leaves the cell as a formula cell. Use the returned CellType to know which
cell getter to use when reading the calculated value.
Or you can call evaluateAll() which performs evaluateFormulaCell() for all
formula cells in the workbook at once, and then read the updated results.
It looks like you are just confusing the various methods and their
behaviors.
