Alternative to deprecated getCellType

Question

I\'m reading an excel-file (file extension xlsx) using org.apache.poi 3.15.

This is my code:

try (FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStr         


        

Answer 1

    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("C:/Test.xlsx"));

    //create workbook instance
    XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook(fis);

    //create a sheet object to retrieve the sheet
    XSSFSheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);

    //to evaluate cell type
    FormulaEvaluator formulaEvaluator = wb.getCreationHelper().createFormulaEvaluator();

    for(Row row : sheet)
    {
        for(Cell cell : row)
        {
            switch(formulaEvaluator.evaluateInCell(cell).getCellTypeEnum())
            {
            case NUMERIC:
                System.out.print(cell.getNumericCellValue() + "\t");
                break;
            case STRING:
                System.out.print(cell.getStringCellValue() + "\t");
                break;
            default:
                break;

            }
        }
        System.out.println();
    }

This code will work fine. Use getCellTypeEnum() and to compare use just NUMERIC or STRING.
