Cannot get a STRING value from a NUMERIC cell

[Jeyaprakash Singarayar]

There is no header in the excel and my first column is a column with numbers. I dont want to treat that as an integer though.

  public static void main(String[] args) {
        PoijiOptions options = PoijiOptions.PoijiOptionsBuilder.settings()
                .addListDelimiter("\r")
                .disableXLSXNumberCellFormat()
                .build();
        List<DataResponse> employees = Poiji.fromExcel(new File("/Users/xarmy/output.xls"), DataResponse.class, options);

The first column data looks like this

4295172261
4295172262
4295172263

and my pojo is like this

public class DataResponse {

    @ExcelCell(0)
    private String id;

    @ExcelCell(1)
    private String param;

    @ExcelCell(2)
    private String description;

}
