Listed in the version 2016.0.03.300466 Issues Fixed doc 
Problem Description:
In CF10 using <cfspreadsheet> to read in an XLS file that has cells with leading and trailing spaces they were retained.  In CF11 and 2016 they are being automatically trimmed.  I don't think this would be desired 100% of the time.  Leave the customers data exactly as it were.

Steps to Reproduce:
Here is a working example: http://trycf.com/gist/cb811394b56fec0e5c3321f52c896852/acf2016?theme=monokai
You can select the version of CF to run it against in the bottom right.  You will see it is not the poi.jar that is auto trimming the data.

Actual Result:
In CF11 and 2016 cell data is auto trimmed.

Expected Result:
Data should be left as is.

Any Workarounds:
No.

In case the working example link doesn't work (http://trycf.com/gist/cb811394b56fec0e5c3321f52c896852/acf2016?theme=monokai), here is the code to reproduce the problem... <cfset cfSheet = SpreadSheetNew("Test")> <cfset SpreadSheetSetCellValue(cfSheet, " leading", 1, 1)> <cfset cfValue = SpreadSheetGetCellValue(cfSheet, 1, 1)> <cfset poiSheet = cfSheet.getWorkbook().getSheet("Test")> <cfset poiValue = poiSheet.getRow( 0 ).getCell( 0 ).getStringCellValue()> <cfoutput> SpreadSheet Functions: <hr> original length [#len(cfValue)#] <br> trimmed length [#len(trim(cfValue))#] <br> value = |#cfValue#| POI methods: <hr> original length [#len(poiValue)#] <br> trimmed length [#len(trim(poiValue))#] <br> value = |#poiValue#| </cfoutput>

Hi Piyush, This below scenario you mentioned happens during spreadsheetaddRows(xl_obj, data_qry) method invocation. As data written to the spreadsheet is trimmed, while reading also we get the trimmed data. I think we need to raise a separate bug regarding the same.
