Nick Burch resolved TIKA-360.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.1
I believe this was solved in Tika 1.1. If we identify any other areas where the
Excel formatting isn't quite right, it's probably best to open a new specific
issue for that.

> As highlighted in TIKA-103, there are issues with Tikas parsing of Excel
> files due to the way Excel stores dates as numbers as well as the formatting
> applied by POI for these numbers. To provide base support for number/date
> formatting an initial patch was applied as part of TIKA-103 to apply POI's
> out-of-the-box formatting.
> This issue is being raised to capture the progress of addressing outstanding
> formatting issues such as Fractions within the POI library.
