jtbdevelopment closed pull request #256: TIKA-2766 - be able to get raw values
from excel from jtbdevelopment
URL: https://github.com/apache/tika/pull/256
> Be able to extract raw values from excel, not formatted
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-2766
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2766
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Reporter: JTB Development
> Priority: Minor
>
> By default, tika extracts excel values as formatted in the sheet. It's a
> fine default.
>
> However, many times, I am asked to extract raw values as the nicely formatted
> sheet for human eyes is losing precision.
>
> In local instances, I've cloned the tika classes in order to do so, but it's
> messy due to how the code is layered (i wind up extending/copying 3-4 classes
> because chain of class construction).
> I believe by adding a config option to the open office config class I can
> implement same option much more cleanly.
>
> I plan to issue a pull request in few weeks (doing this contribute on the
> side based on professional use)
