> org.drools.decisiontable.parser.xls.ExcelParser reads a double value from a Numeric type cell. But some users expect as-is String representation rather than a double value. Users may force String type by adding heading ' (apostrophe) in the cell but sometimes it could be cumbersome.
> This JIRA requests an option to force reading String from a Numeric type cell in SpreadSheet.
