Hello all,

I neet to set cell type to "Date" but getting "Custom" in generated
xls(right click on cell>Format Cells>Numbers Tab>Category section). It is
formatted correctly as Date but type is not selected as Date.

If I am opening same xlsx in Open Office the cell data format is "Date" but
if I am opening in MS EXCEL 2010 it is "Custom".

 I tried several times different approaches to make it work in Excel 2010
but no luck. Here is my code examples:



        *CellStyle dateCellStyle = wb.createCellStyle();
//       
dateCellStyle.setDataFormat(HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("dd-mmm-yyyy"));
//does not work
//       
dateCellStyle.setDataFormat(HSSFDataFormat.getBuiltinFormat("Date")); //does
not work
//       
dateCellStyle.setDataFormat(wb.createDataFormat().getFormat("dd-mmm-yyyy"));
//does not work

       
dateCellStyle.setDataFormat(wb.createDataFormat().getFormat("dd-mmm-yyyy"));
//does not work*

Could anyone help me please? Thanks.
