Find the string value of the Cell in POI

Java APIS

In this page of the example we are going to find the String Values of Cell of an excel sheet using POI2.5.0 API Event. The class org.apache.poi.hssf.record.LabelSSTRecord extends Record implements CellValueRecordinterface and java.lang.Comparable. this is used to make reference of a string and a column value.

 getSSTIndex():-
This method is used to give the Find String Values of Cellin the SSTRecord. and The return type of this getSSTIndex() method is integer (Find String Values of Cellof string in the SST Table).
getString(int i):-
This method is used to get the string value from SSTRecord .
