Alternative to deprecated getCellType

Question

I\'m reading an excel-file (file extension xlsx) using org.apache.poi 3.15.

This is my code:

try (FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStr         


        

Answer 1

It looks that 3.15 offers no satisfying solution: either one uses the old style with Cell.CELL_TYPE_*, or we use the method getCellTypeEnum() which is marked as deprecated. A lot of disturbances for little add value...

Answer 2

Use getCellType()

switch (cell.getCellType()) {
   case BOOLEAN :
                 //To-do
                 break;
   case NUMERIC:
                 //To-do
                 break;
   case STRING:
                 //To-do
                 break;
}
