    HI

    I would like to search the position of the cell which has the text: "Dia de Pago".

    I use NPOI libraries.

    The similar solution could be:

    private static int findRow(HSSFSheet sheet, String cellContent) {
    for (Row row : sheet) {
        for (Cell cell : row) {
            if (cell.getCellType() == Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING) {
                if (cell.getRichStringCellValue().getString().trim().equals(cellContent)) {
                    return row.getRowNum();  
                }
            }
        }
    }               
    return 0;
}

    But the problem is that it has to go through many cells.

    I don't believe the NPIO libraries have any global "search" functions.  The only option is to do what you are doing.

    If you need to do a lot of manipulation like this, you could read the whole sheet into a 2D string array.  The string array would be quicker to search, but I'll wager it isn't worth the trouble.
