DataExporter: Permit using custom DecimalFormat in ExcelOptions

See original GitHub issue

Description

It would be nice to allow a custom DecimalFormat to be used only in Excel files and not directly related to the locale used in JSF.

Describe the solution you would like

Add a new property in ExcelOptions called decimalFormat of type java.text.DecimalFormat which should be used when exporting to Excel files (xls, xlsx, xlsxstream)

Hi @jasonex7. Setting

<locale-config>
    <default-locale>it_IT</default-locale>
</locale-config>

fix my problem.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi @wbss1. Setting a custom currency symbol per cell basis is not supported and is out of scope of this issue. Currently, DataExporter currency detection feature only considers the property “CurrencyFormat” in ExcelOptions or, if it’s not defined, <locale-config> in faces-config.xml.

I think that you’re setting “currencySymbol” property property because you’re using “it” locale without the country part and “it” locale doesn’t establish a specific currency symbol. I recommend to use a locale with country part, e.g. “it_IT”, “it_US” or similar.
