Does anyone know if there is a java method or function to return the
format of a particular cell [as opposed to forcing a cell to a specific
format]? We have multiple spreadsheets used as input from a vendor.
Sometimes a column is formatted as text, sometimes it is formatted as a
date. If it is formatted as text, I would need to process the value one
way, versus if it is formatted as a true date, then I process the value a
different way.

Does anyone know if this function exists?

Thank you,

Doug
