  This might solve your problem
  
  HSSFRow row = newXREFSheet.getRow(rowNo);
  if (row != null) {
  HSSFCell cell = row.getCell((short) col);
  if (cell != null) {
  switch (cell.getCellType()) {
  case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
  HSSFCellStyle style = cell.getCellStyle();
  if(style.getIndex() == 35){
  cellVal = cell.getDateCellValue().toString();
  String date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").
  format(new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy").parse(cellVal.toString()));
  cellVal = date;
  }
  else{
  cellVal = String.valueOf(cell.getNumericCellValue());
  }
  break;
  case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
  cellVal = cell.getStringCellValue();
  break;
  case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA:
  cellValDoub = cell.getNumericCellValue();
  df = new DecimalFormat("##");
  cellVal = df.format(cellValDoub).toString();
  
  break;
  default:
  
  break;
  }
  }
  }
