Vinay Kawade commented on TIKA-2196:
------------------------------------
This seems to be happening when a cell is set to custom format with double
quotes, for example:
{code:java}
""ddd,mmm dd
or
""dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy
{code}
As per,
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54786
the double double quotes are replaced by a single single quote
