>             Project: Seam
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>          Components: Excel
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA

> When there is a null date or a null number, the helper outputs a fixed, non-localized string  "#not a number#" or "#not a date#" .
> I think it should work like h:outputText and the string should be empty. Another alternative would be to look up the string in the messages resources to be able to change it and to localize it. 
> From JXLHelper.java:
>       case number:
>           try {
>               return new jxl.write.Number(column, row, Double.parseDouble(data.toString()), cellFormat);
>           } catch (NumberFormatException e) {
>               return new Label(column, row, "#not a number#", cellFormat);
>           }
>       case date:
>           try {
>               return new DateTime(column, row, (Date) data, cellFormat);
>           } catch (ClassCastException e) {
>               return new Label(column, row, "#not a date#", cellFormat);
>           }
