    Hello Cekay

     

    The data type of the Label object is String.  You are attempting to force an integer to a string and the date type police have said that is a violation.  🙂

     

    I have taken the liberty to rewrite the offending code into something a little more groovyish...

     

    //for(int i=0;i<merchant.size();i++){
    //Label label = new Label(i, 1, merchant[i]); // i = column=0=A, row=1
    //sheet.addCell(label)
    //log.info merchant[i]
    //}
    
    merchant.eachWithIndex { val, indx ->
       log.info val.getClass();
       if (val instanceof Integer) {
          Number number = new Number(indx, 1, val);
          sheet.addCell(number);
       };
       if (val instanceof String) {
          Label label = new Label(indx, 1, val);
          sheet.addCell(label);
       ;
    };

     

     

    What you use in the .addCell() method is data type dependent.  If you need other data types other than a string or number, you will have to google for other examples (I just looked for solution only to your issue).
