Setting Excel cell value in Numeric format using POI

Question

I want to store numeric data in excel sheet.
The numeric data is represented by String type in my java code.
Is it possible to set it as numeric without casting it?

Answer 1

Old one But Still it This will help Some one from .NET who use NPOI

dCell.setCellValue(Convert.ToDouble(112.45));

We do have

cell.SetCellType(NPOI.SS.UserModel.CellType.NUMERIC); 

which doesn't remove the warning but the 1st code did worked after converting to Double for All integers and Double values in .net
