title: How can I read numeric strings in Excel cells as string (not numbers)?
body: <ol>
  <li><p>I have excel file with such contents: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>A1: SomeString</p></li>
  <li><p>A2: 2</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>All fields are set to String format.</p></li>
  <li><p>When I read the file in java using POI, it tells that A2 is in numeric cell format.</p></li>
  <li>The problem is that the value in A2 can be 2 or 2.0 (and I want to be able to distinguish them) so I can't just use <code>.toString()</code>.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What can I do to read the value as string?</p>
