Summary: Investigate use of org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.DataFormatter in
Excel translator
Key: TEIID-4995
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4995
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: Misc. Connectors
Affects Versions: 9.2.4, 8.12.11.6_3, 8.7.12.6_2
Environment: Excel translator
Integer values in string columns
Reporter: Marc Shirley
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
For integer values in a string column, values are displayed as a decimal value (for
example, a value "5" is displayed as "5.0"). It looks like
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.DataFormatter [1] by default attempts to format values in the
same manner as Excel would display it [2], and would result in the integer value
"5" being displayed as "5". In the case of string columns, this would
avoid the user needing to modify source data to compensate as indicated as workarounds in
TEIID-3947.

[2] The default number format will mimic the Excel General format: "#" for whole
numbers and "#.##########" for decimal numbers.
