[python-win32] getting integer value for worksheet.Cells(row, col).Value

[Solomon.Zewdie.Altek at zf.com]

Hi, 
the statement:  worksheet.Cells(row, col).Value returns a Value of type of Strings, 
Can anyone tell me how I can get an Integer value?
Casting (int(worksheet.Cells(row, col).Value ) didn't work.
 
Many Tnx!
