As article states - created style applies only after i open created *.xls file and double click formatted cell.
public HSSFWorkbook makeWorkbookExc(List<String[]> allValues, List<String> captions, Integer[] order,
List<Integer> numTypeColumns,List<Integer> dateTypeColumns, final container container, final List<ErrorContainer> errors) {
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
HSSFFont fontBold = workbook.createFont();
fontBold.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
fontBold.setFontHeightInPoints((short) 11);
HSSFCellStyle styleBold = workbook.createCellStyle();
styleBold.setFont(fontBold);
HSSFFont font = workbook.createFont();
font.setFontHeightInPoints((short) 11);
font.setBoldweight(HSSFFont.BOLDWEIGHT_NORMAL);
HSSFCellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();
style.setFont(font);
style.setWrapText(true);
HSSFDataFormat dataFormat = workbook.createDataFormat();
HSSFCellStyle dateStyle = ((HSSFWorkbook)workbook).createCellStyle();
dateStyle.setDataFormat(dataFormat.getFormat("dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm"));
HSSFSheet baseDataSheet = workbook.createSheet();
int rowNr = 0;
Row row = baseDataSheet.createRow(rowNr++);
for(int i=0; i< allValues.size(); i++) {
row = baseDataSheet.createRow(rowNr++);
String[] dataFields = allValues.get(i);
for (int index = 0 ; index < order.length; index++){
Cell nmrCell = row.createCell(index);
String value = dataFields[order[index]];
if(value.contains("<br>")){
//listagg spaces fix
String trimSpaces = value.trim().replaceAll(" +"," ");
value = trimSpaces;
String replace = value.trim().replaceAll("<br> ","\n\n");
value = replace;
}
if (!numTypeColumns.isEmpty() && !"".equals(value) && numTypeColumns.contains(index+1)){
double valueDouble = Double.parseDouble(value);
nmrCell.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC);
nmrCell.setCellValue(valueDouble);
} else if(!numTypeColumns.isEmpty() && !"".equals(value) && dateTypeColumns.contains(index+1)){
nmrCell.setCellStyle(dateStyle);
nmrCell.setCellValue(value);
}else
nmrCell.setCellStyle(style);
nmrCell.setCellValue(value);
}
}
return workbook;
}
Is there any solution?

So the answer was adding date parse, because I initially was getting value as string
SimpleDateFormat date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
try {
Date dateVal = date.parse(value);
nmrCell.setCellStyle(dateStyle);
nmrCell.setCellValue(dateVal);
} catch (ParseException e) {
nmrCell.setCellValue(value);
}
