How to get String result from a cell with a formula behind

Trying to retrieve the result of a cell where I have the following formula:
=SUBTOTAL(9,P4:P27)

I have tried the following methods:
HSSFCell.getNumericCellValue()  
HSSFCell.getRichStringCellValue().getString() --> returns empty string ""

All these results do not match to what I have in my MSExcel spread sheet.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Chris

RE: How to get String result from a cell with a formula behind

Posted by "Karr, David" <da...@wamu.net>.
I'm new at this also, but you should probably use the
"org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFFormulaEvaluator" class from the
scratchpad jar.
