I've used POI/HSSF for a number of years, parsing excel sheets using the

processed accordingly.
Now however I want to be able to get numeric data in the format its
displayed to the user - dates, numbers currencies. Looking around HSSF I
don't really see anything for converting the excel data format into an
equivalent java one (e.g. DecimalFormat / SimpleDateFormat). The only
related thing I found was for the built in formats in
SVTableCellRenderer in "contrib" (see http://tinyurl.com/2d2bw9).
There was something posted to the list a little while back:

Unfortunately it didn't come with any user tests, and wasn't attached to
bugzilla, so never got applied.
If you fancy testing it and reporting back, that'd be great :)
If committed, not sure if it should go into
org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFDataFormat, or just placed in a new
class under org.apache.poi.hssf.util
