Is there a way to set the datatypes of columns/cells in excel other than general or string

[ssjman]

Where I am using this plugin I am exporting records with Currency values using a CurrencyGetter. In the excel file every column/cell is formatted to a string. This means the when the user attempts to auto sum a column that should be a money value they cannot. Is there a way to set the actual datatype of columns to things such as date, number, etc using this plugin? I know I can do it using POI.

Has this issue been addressed? I was able to set the format to number for some numbers, but numbers come out as general, and I can't get percentages to work.

There is a way to format them using the Apache API directly, but it's a little more low-level than having it done automatically by this plugin. See #52
