Created an attachment (id=24803)
 --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24803)
sheet that exhibits issue

>> The EBEE tries to format decimal values before returning them using
>> the method formatNumberDateCell.  I have some xls (unfortunately I
>> can't share) that throw an exception from the DecimalFormat
>> constructor:
>> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unquoted special character ';' in

UserModel copes, but because no formatting is applied. Relevant code
in ExcelExtractor:

case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
 // Note - we don't apply any formatting!
 text.append(cell.getNumericCellValue());
 break;

However, a date formatted cell (string cell type) with
"hh:mm;hh:mm;hh:mm" fails in both.

I believe this means conditional cell formatting never works (either
not being applied or throwing exception), only static cell formatting.
 I'm not sure what the above format of the 3- or 4-valued conditional
is, though.

I'll file a bug for this. Attached is a doc that exhibits the issue
and a java class that reproduces.
