title: HSSF POI : How to know if data in cell is of Type Date?
body: <p>Currently i have my code as</p>
  
  <pre><code>bean.setREPO_DATE(row.getCell(16).getDateCellValue());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it works fine if cell is formatted as date in excel. </p>
  
  <p>However it also converts some integer or long like 1234 or 5699 to date. I know the reason behind this too. </p>
  
  <p>However i want to apply a check before executing above line. Something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(row.getCell(16).isOfDateFormat){
  bean.setREPO_DATE(row.getCell(16).getDateCellValue());
  } 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please Guide me..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance !</p>
