Hello,

I am facing a problem while getting contents of cell using JXL api, if I am using formula in xls sheet. Right now I am using formula - IF($L10="","",+ROUND($L10*1.375,3)) in each cell but when the cell value is blank i am getting junk charactes when i call cell.getContents() method, the code snip is as follows - >>

Workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(p_sourceFile);

excelsheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
for (int row = 1; row < noOfRows; row++)

{ cell = excelsheet.getCell(col, row); content = cell.getContents();

System.out.println("content-" + content); //Is giving me junk character ? when the cell value is blank.

...

It will be a great help if anyone can help me !!!

Regards, Amit
