Created attachment 35705 [details] javaFile and sample excel doc The excel sheet setting is set DisplayZero = False (Unchecked). When i try to retrieve the value, i still received the zero (0) instead of blank. according this docs, https://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/Sheet.html#isDisplayZeros-- "When false, cells with zero value appear blank instead of showing the number zero" I attached the java code and the excel sheet. Please advice.
