Thread: Apache POI - XSSFCell

Hi everyone,

I am having a bit diffeculty with this API Apache POI.
The program I am making is reading in a excel file, and then it matches it against each other.
And the part that matches go to a new file.

Now to do the matching I have put the data in a MultiHashMap.
<String, XSSFCell>

Now I am able to get the keys out, but not the XSSFCell data.
I had this problem too that I could not get the keys out when the HashMap was <Cell, XSSFCell>.
So I converted the Cell to a String by using: String stringdata = "" + Cell;
Now I can get the keys out, but is doesn't take the values.

Now I would like to convert the XSSFCell data to a String data too.
But the method I used for converting Cell to String won't work on this one.

Any ideas on how to convert ths XSSFCell to String?
