Retain formatting of a Double value - Java

Question

I am using Poi to create Excel workbooks in Java. My raw data comes in as a string. I need to format the data to enter two decimal places into the cell where the number is bei

Answer 1

It appears we are at an impasse. As Mario pointed out, doubles are managed as binary and there is no way to format the binary as a double, except to convert it to a string with DecimalFormat, which is no longer a double. I explained this to my boss and he's ok with the solution of taking the raw double, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks to all for your help and support.
