Hi all,

The EBEE tries to format decimal values before returning them using
the method formatNumberDateCell.  I have some xls (unfortunately I
can't share) that throw an exception from the DecimalFormat
constructor:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unquoted special character ';' in
pattern "_(*#,##0_);_(*(#,##0);_(* "-"_);_(@_)"

For my purposes, I just patched this to catch the exception and return
the unformatted string, but that's probably not appropriate in the
general case.  If someone wants to provide some guidance as to what
the format string means and how one might go about fixing it, I'd be
glad to contribute.
