Re: RPG reading Excel with Scott Klement's routines

type = SSCell_getCellType(cell);

There are constants CELL_TYPE_STRING, CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC, CELL_TYPE_FORMULA, etc that correspond to the various cell types.

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
