--- Comment #12 from RBRi <r...@rbri.de> --- >- check if Locale.US is working for other localized excel formats I think that is the base line of this problem. We have to understand if the format description is locale dependent or not. If you need someone to provide more german excel files you can count on me. And regarding the locale. My program processes the excel file on a machine different from the one in was created on (i guess this is the usual use case for POI). This implies from my point of view, that i have to know the locale setting of the creating machine if i like to reproduce the same presentations of the cell values. That is the reason, for the locale i hand over to the method and in the end to the DataFormatter constructor. From the user point of view this is all i can do and all i like to do. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
