            Bug ID: 58641
           Summary: Support for IgnoredErrors in XSSF
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XSSF
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Apache POI (XSSF) currently lacks support for IgnoredErrors feature when
writing XLSX files.

More information on this official MS link:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd944168%28v=office.12%29.aspx

As can be seen this is an element on the Sheet.

On this feature I suggest to leave XLS format in the dust and *not* implement
it on the usermodel. Most people do not need XLS support anymore and I guess it
is fair to say to users of Apache POI that if they need this feature then they
need to use XSSF. It seems previous attempts to implement this in usermodel
have failed (see bug 54868). Instead I suggest simply to add it as a setter
method on the XSSFSheet.

There are other tickets (bug 54868 and bug 46136) that relate to the same issue
but this RFE is more general, it is not just about specifically ignoring
"number-stored-as-text" warning, but indeed all those warnings supported by
IgnoredErrors element.

Personally I have no interest in being able to *read* this information from a
XLSX file. Being able to persist the setting is far, far more important.
