  org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFDataFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataFormat

public class XSSFDataFormat
extends java.lang.Object
implements DataFormat

Handles data formats for XSSF. Per Microsoft Excel 2007+ format limitations: Workbooks support between 200 and 250 "number formats" (POI calls them "data formats") So short or even byte would be acceptable data types to use for referring to data format indices. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/excel-specifications-and-limits-1672b34d-7043-467e-8e27-269d656771c3
