Environment:Excel data exporting
Description
The Excel data exporting code supports numerical, boolean, date types, beyond just strings. But the data exporter only concatenates all the cell data into a StringBuffer, and passes the string data to the export handler, even though the export handler interface can take any object.
We should try to preserve non-string data types, if they're the only contents of the cell, and pass them into the interface. If the cell contains multiple bits of data, then we can continue to append that into a string, and pass the string to the interface.
We should see if the existing string data is interfering with graphing data, or doing numerical computations on the cells, to see if the code change is actually needed.
