Details
Here is an example of using the excelStoreCellValue step illustrating both a simple and more complex comparison:
excelStoreCellValue Example
<webtest name="exceltest - store cell value">
<config .../>
<steps>
<invoke url="testExcel.xls"/>
...
<-- simple comparison -->
<excelStoreCellValue property="intValue" cell="B26"/>
<verifyProperty property="intValue" text="23"/>
...
<-- comparison with manipulation: cell contains '$9.50' -->
<excelStoreCellValue property="dollarValue" cell="C26"/>
<-- remove '$' and account for rounding errors -->
<groovy>
junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals(9.5 as double,
'#{dollarValue}'.substring(1).toDouble(),
0.0000001 as double)
</groovy>
...
</steps>
</webtest>
<config .../>
<steps>
<invoke url="testExcel.xls"/>

<excelStoreCellValue property="dollarValue" cell="C26"/>
