Question

I have an .xlsx spreadsheet with a single number in the top-left cell of sheet 1.

The Excel UI displays:

This is v

Answer 1

I use this for calculating the same 15 digit display value.

private static final int EXCEL_MAX_DIGITS = 15;

private static double fixFloatingPointPrecision(double value) {
    BigDecimal original = new BigDecimal(value);
    BigDecimal fixed = new BigDecimal(original.unscaledValue(), original.precision())
            .setScale(EXCEL_MAX_DIGITS, RoundingMode.HALF_UP);
    int newScale = original.scale() - original.precision() + EXCEL_MAX_DIGITS;
    return new BigDecimal(fixed.unscaledValue(), newScale).doubleValue();
}
