How to extract formatted number?

[Shashanka Chigurupati]

Hi,
How can I extract a number formatted like a phone number / currency / percentage / date?
One example is a phone number "[phone]".
When I tried to extract the number using the code provided in xls2csv, it is returned as "1234567890".
How ever I want to extract it as "[phone]".

I tried to use the "str" property of the cell_data struct. Unfortunately it stored as "1234567890.0000000"

Can you provide me steps on how to do that?

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your interest in the library. However, number formatting is outside the scope of libxls.
