How to read a Date column from an Excel sheet using Apache POI

1
Hi,

I have an excel sheet which has a Date column whose cell type is custom d-mmm-yy.
When i read this excel using apache POI then this column gets read as a numeric cell and returns the big decimal value.

Is there any way of identifying the cell type to be Date for this custom format?

thanks,
GNS
