Data Provider Mismatch error in Selenium with TestNG and Java

Can you please suggest for the possible cause of the Data provider mismatch error which is coming in case of implementing Excel flow from Selenium Java.

org.testng.internal.reflect.MethodMatcherException: 
Data provider mismatch
Method: CreateFlow([Parameter{index=0, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=1, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=2, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=3, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=4, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=5, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=6, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=7, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=8, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=9, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=10, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}, Parameter{index=11, type=java.lang.String, declaredAnnotations=[]}])

Code which I am using to get the Data from Excel:

    public static Object[][] TestData() {
Workbook workBook;
    Sheet sheet;           
File src = new File(FilePath);
        workBook = WorkbookFactory.create(src); 
sheet = book.getSheetAt(0);
            int rowCount = sheet.getLastRowNum();
            int cellCount = sheet.getRow(0).getLastCellNum();
            Object[][] data = new Object[rowCount][cellCount];
            for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {[![enter image description here][1]][1]
                for (int j = 0; j < cellCount; j++) {
                    data[i][j] = sheet.getRow(1).getCell(j);
                }
            }
            return data;
        }

Method where I am calling this TestData:

@DataProvider
    public Object[][] getData() {
        Object[][] data = TestUtil.TestData();
        return data;
    }

@Test(dataProvider = "getData")
public void CreateFlow(String firstName, String lastName, String address, String email, String DOB,
                String MobileNumber, String HomeNumber, String PIN, String id, String secondID, String AccountID,
                String number) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    //Printing all these values inside this method
        }

@DataProvider(name = "yourDPname")
public Object[][] getData() {
    Object[][] data = TestUtil.TestData();
    return data;
}

@Test(dataProvider = "yourDPname")
public void CreateFlow(String firstName, String lastName, String address,
        String email, String DOB, String MobileNumber, String HomeNumber,
        String PIN, String id, String secondID, String AccountID, String number)
        throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    //Printing all these values inside this method }
}

Maybe try to assign name to your data provider and replace the dataprovider name instead the method name.

As per the above error, the createFlow() method is expecting the String as an argument but you are passing the Cell which is not acceptable.

Try the below modified code :

public static Object[][] TestData() {
    sheet = book.getSheetAt(0);
    int rowCount = sheet.getLastRowNum();
    int cellCount = sheet.getRow(0).getLastCellNum();
    Object[][] data = new Object[rowCount][cellCount];
    for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < cellCount; j++) {
            // Call 'getStringCellValue()' here instead of using just 'getCell()'
            data[i][j] = sheet.getRow(1).getCell(j).getStringCellValue().trim();
        }
    }
    return data;
}

You need to call the getStringCellValue() method to get the String data.

Update :

You will get an exception, if you are trying to read Numeric data from the excel by using getStringCellValue().

To avoid this exception, you can append ' apostrophe symbol as prefix in the Numeric cell of the excel sheet.

Suppose you have some data like below format in the excel :

| Ali   |
| 123   |
| Puppy |

you can get Ali, Puppy values using getStringCellValue() but you can't get 123 because it is Number so try to append ' before that 123 in the excel and press enter. It looks something like this and you won't get that error.

| Ali   |
| '123  |
| Puppy |

If you want to fetch the data irrespective of the data type that has provided from the excel and you don't want to append ' then you need to do something like below :

public static Object[][] TestData() {
    sheet = book.getSheetAt(0);
    int rowCount = sheet.getLastRowNum();
    int cellCount = sheet.getRow(0).getLastCellNum();
    Object[][] data = new Object[rowCount][cellCount];
    for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < cellCount; j++) {
            switch (sheet.getRow(1).getCell(j).getCellType()) {
               case Cell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
                   // Call 'getNumericCellValue()' here instead of using just 'getCell()'
                   data[i][j] = sheet.getRow(1).getCell(j).getNumericCellValue();
                   break;
               case Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
                   // Call 'getStringCellValue()' here instead of using just 'getCell()'
                   data[i][j] = sheet.getRow(1).getCell(j).getStringCellValue().trim();
                   break;
            }
        }
    }
    return data;
}

Import Cell from import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell; package.

I hope it helps...
