    Remarks

    This method returns the formatted value of the cell.

    Compare the values returned from this method with the values returned from the GetValue method. For example, for date-time cells, the GetText method returns the formatted date and time value; the GetValue method returns a DateTime object for the date and time.

    Besides using this method, you can get or set the data in a cell using various properties of the sheet (SheetView object) or properties of the cell (Cell object). For more information, see Handling Data Using Sheet Methods and Handling Data Using Cell Properties.

    Remember that the data may be displayed differently in a cell depending on the cell type. For more information, see Understanding Cell Type Effects on Displaying Data.
