NoSuchFieldError when reading Excel sheet in java

Question

I\'ve followed a simple guide to constructing a workbook using Apache POI XSSF. Following the same guide I was able to WRITE an Excel sheet, however when attempting to read

Answer 1

I got same error with different constant:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: RETURN_NULL_AND_BLANK

Googled lot but no answer. I was using apache poi-ooxml version 3.11. Later I changed to version 3.17. Then it was working fine.

Hope this might helpful someone.
