Reading 'name' used in cell of excel sheet via POI - excel

I am using Apache POI 3.9 for parsing excel file.
In one of the cell which I am trying to read 'Name' has been used in the formula specified for this cell (formula is sum of value at name cell + value of current cell). These names have been defined in 'Name manager' of excel.
When I am trying to read this value via POI I am getting 'circular`ref'.
Can anyone please advise me on how to read the value of the formula cell where 'name' is used?
Thanks

Yes, I would just select the cells then copy : paste.special values and that will leave you the result of each vlookup. Do this for the row, column or cell as needed.

Regain an original fractional numeric value that Excel has transformed to a date value

I have an Excel workbook that contains numeric values and some of them have been transformed by Excel auto format feature into the date values. I do not know the original numeric values and neither do I have access to the .txt version of that file.
Is there a way to calculate the value from the date? For example, what value was substituted by Excel to get: 08.01.2014.
This is not related to applying VALUE function to the date of changing cell format to "General."
EDIT#1:
If the value '42248' has somehow gotten into A1, then in another cell enter:
=--TEXT(A1,"d.m")
to retrieve the 1.9

Excel - How to add error handling to an array formula using OFFSET

I am populating a number of columns based on a lookup using OFFSET and MATCH. I want to add error handling so that the appropriate values are displayed in each of these columns - how can I do this in Excel and in Excel VBA?
Here are the details of the formula that I use:
I enter this formula as an array formula for the entire range B2:E100
=OFFSET(CustomerMaster!$A1,MATCH(A2,customerNumberList,0)-1,2,1,4)
I use the customerNumber in column A2 to fetch a 4 columns related to the customer in another sheet - CustomerMaster.
Now, if there is an error, I want all the 4 cells to have some value like "Unknown".
Something like the following
=IFERROR(OFFSET(CustomerMaster!$A1,MATCH(A2,customerNumberList,0)-1,2,1,4),"Unknown")
will work (at least if you have Excel 2007 or later).
