---------------------------------
Fractions will be supported when we upgrade to POI 3.8 beta 6 / 3.8 Final
Are there any other areas we still need to enhance?

> Key: TIKA-360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-360
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Environment: All Operating Systems (Seen on my Ubuntu 9.10, Solaris
> 10 and Windows 7 instances)
> Reporter: Dave Meikle
> Assignee: Dave Meikle
>
> As highlighted in TIKA-103, there are issues with Tikas parsing of Excel
> files due to the way Excel stores dates as numbers as well as the formatting
> applied by POI for these numbers. To provide base support for number/date
> formatting an initial patch was applied as part of TIKA-103 to apply POI's
> out-of-the-box formatting.
> This issue is being raised to capture the progress of addressing outstanding
> formatting issues such as Fractions within the POI library.
