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

Try to use wrapper classes:

dCell.setCellValue(new Double(112.45));

BTW, it will work if you simply give the value instead of the double cotes as follows:

dCell.setCellValue(112.45);
