https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55668

            Bug ID: 55668
           Summary: nullPointerException when using
                    setCellType(Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING) when the cell have
                    an expression with empty result
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: HSSF
          Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
          Reporter: ghaleb@tradeos.com

Steps:
open excel
write an expression inside the cell
the cell result should be empty (null in POI HSSF workbook)
save as xls file

Read the file using POI and try to convert it to String by using
setCellType(Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING)

--
the cell have a value of:
=IF('Q:\Comune\A&O division\SALES\GRIGLIE\CALCULATIONS\AIR EXPORT\[GRID
COSTI.xlsx]FreightOS'!A758="","",'Q:\Comune\A&O
division\SALES\GRIGLIE\CALCULATIONS\AIR EXPORT\[GRID
COSTI.xlsx]FreightOS'!A758)

Can you please attach a test-xls-file which has this setup to allow to
reproduce the problem easily?

Try to convert all cells to String using
