Step 1:<\/strong> First, you need to add the Apache POI dependency to your project. If you are using Maven, you can include the following dependency in your project’s pom.xml file:<\/li>\n “`xml
\n
\n
\n org.apache.poi<\/groupId>
\n poi<\/artifactId>
\n 4.1.2<\/version>
\n <\/dependency>
\n <\/dependencies>
\n “`<\/p>\nStep 2:<\/strong> In your Java code, import the necessary POI classes:<\/li>\n “`java
\n import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
\n import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook;
\n “`<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Create a Workbook instance and load the Excel file:<\/li>\n “`java
\n Workbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(new FileInputStream(“path\/to\/excel\/file.xlsx”));
\n “`<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> Get the desired sheet from the workbook:<\/li>\n “`java
\n Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(“Sheet1”);
\n “`<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Iterate over the rows and cells to find the numeric value:<\/li>\n “`java
\n for (Row row : sheet) {
\n for (Cell cell : row) {
\n if (cell.getCellType() == CellType.NUMERIC) {
\n double numericValue = cell.getNumericCellValue();
\n \/\/ Use the numericValue as needed
\n }
\n }
\n }
\n “`\n<\/ol>\n
By following these steps, you can read numeric values from an Excel file using Apache POI in Java.<\/p>\n
