Outstanding Improvements to Number/Date Formatting in ExcelParser
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
