Hi,

currently dataDriven doesn't respect at all the cell formatting. One of
the consequences is that dates are extracted as number because they are
saved as number internally.

Sadly POI procures facilities to read the format, but not to format the
cell value with this information (which depends not only on the format
but on informations like the local settings as well).

I've started to look at it and a new version will be available in the
coming days (I will open an issue for that). The difficulty will be to
cover all the format and therefore I think that I will first incorporate
some simple conversion rules and that we'll have to add new ones later
based on user feedback.

Cheers,
Marc.
