Answer 1

Amurra's answer seems to go ninety percent of the way, but it may need some nuance.

1) The function "GetSharedStringItemById" returns a SharedStringItem, not a string, such that the calling code example will not work. To get the actual value as a string, I believe you need to ask for the SharedStringItem's InnerText property, as follows:

public static string GetSharedStringItemById(WorkbookPart workbookPart, int id)
{
    return workbookPart.SharedStringTablePart.SharedStringTable.Elements().ElementAt(id).InnerText;
}

2) The function also (correctly) asks for an int as part of its signature, but the example code call supplies a string, cell.CellValue.Text. It's trivial to convert the string to an int, but needs to be done, as the code as written might to be confusing.
