public class DataFormatter
extends Object
```
DataFormatter contains methods for formatting the value stored in an Cell. This can be useful for reports and GUI presentations when you need to display data exactly as it appears in Excel. Supported formats include currency, SSN, percentages, decimals, dates, phone numbers, zip codes, etc.
Internally, formats will be implemented using subclasses of Format such as DecimalFormat and SimpleDateFormat. Therefore the formats used by this class must obey the same pattern rules as these Format subclasses. This means that only legal number pattern characters ("0", "#", ".", "," etc.) may appear in number formats. Other characters can be inserted before or after the number pattern to form a prefix or suffix.

For example the Excel pattern "$#,##0.00 "USD"_);($#,##0.00 "USD")" will be correctly formatted as "$1,000.00 USD" or "($1,000.00 USD)". However the pattern "00-00-00" is incorrectly formatted by DecimalFormat as "000000--". For Excel formats that are not compatible with DecimalFormat, you can provide your own custom Format implementation via DataFormatter.addFormat(String,Format). The following custom formats are already provided by this class:
```
 SSN "000-00-0000"
     Phone Number "(###) ###-####"
     Zip plus 4 "00000-0000"
 
 
```
If the Excel format pattern cannot be parsed successfully, then a default format will be used. The default number format will mimic the Excel General format: "#" for whole numbers and "#.##########" for decimal numbers. You can override the default format pattern with DataFormatter.setDefaultNumberFormat(Format). Note: the default format will only be used when a Format cannot be created from the cell's data format string.
Note that by default formatted numeric values are trimmed. Excel formats can contain spacers and padding and the default behavior is to strip them off.

Example:

Consider a numeric cell with a value 12.343 and format "##.##_ ". The trailing underscore and space ("_ ") in the format adds a space to the end and Excel formats this cell as "12.34 ", but DataFormatter trims the formatted value and returns "12.34".
You can enable spaces by passing the emulateCsv=true flag in the DateFormatter cosntructor. If set to true, then the output tries to conform to what you get when you take an xls or xlsx in Excel and Save As CSV file:
- returned values are not trimmed
- Invalid dates are formatted as 255 pound signs ("#")
- simulate Excel's handling of a format string of all # when the value is 0. Excel will output "", DataFormatter will output "0".

    When passed a null or blank cell, this method will return an empty String (""). Formula cells will be evaluated using the given FormulaEvaluator if the evaluator is non-null. If the evaluator is null, then the formula String will be returned. The caller is responsible for setting the currentRow on the evaluator
    
    Parameters:
    
    cell - The cell (can be null)
    
    evaluator - The FormulaEvaluator (can be null)

```
  - setDefaultNumberFormat
```
public void setDefaultNumberFormat(Format format)
```
    Sets a default number format to be used when the Excel format cannot be parsed successfully. Note: This is a fall back for when an error occurs while parsing an Excel number format pattern. This will not affect cells with the General format.
    
    The value that will be passed to the Format's format method (specified by java.text.Format#format) will be a double value from a numeric cell. Therefore the code in the format method should expect a Number value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    format - A Format instance to be used as a default
    
    See Also:
    
    Format.format(java.lang.Object)
