formula - Integer expected

Hi world.

What's wrong?

I thought to use the nearly simplest formula sample
    oC.setCellFormula("=1+2");
and I receive an exception (Integer expected).

In Excel this would be allowed. Aren't constants within the formula
handled in POI?

Regards, Karl-Heinz.

Shouldn't this be

>     oC.setCellFormula("1+2");

according to the documentation, you should omit the = sign. I didn't
test this, but, well, have a try :-)
