Pretty sure that POI has always returned NUMERIC for cells that excel has
stored as a floating point number, and only returns STRING for cells where the
additional string record is used

If a cell is really numeric, then excel stores a float. You need to fetch back
that float, then apply string formatting rules to make a string. You can't
fetch "a string", as there isn't one in the file, all there is is the float + a
formatting string.

If you'd care to upload a unit test that shows this differently from poi 2.5 to
now, we'll take a look, but I'm fairly sure this is still an INVALID
