cell type check necessary

Hello All,
 
I am new to POI (HSSF). 
I have a Excel template. When user press excel download, i want to fill the excel file with the data from db. I am trying to do the following:
 
I copied the template (successfully) and then try to fill the values to the sheet.
I have a small question. Is it necessary to check the cell.getCellType() before inserting a value to the cell. Moreover if i copied a template, do i need to create rows and cells in the excel sheet to fill the data or i can directly say getRow and getCell stuff.
 
Regards
vicky
