Answer 1

use switch and cases like this code :

switch (cell.getCellType()) { 
                    case STRING: 
                        String c = cell.getStringCellValue();

                        break; 
                    case NUMERIC: 
                        int n = (int) cell.getNumericCellValue();

                        break; 
                    case BOOLEAN:
                        boolean b = cell.getBooleanCellValue();

                    break; 
                    default : 
                        }
