+ * does not attempt to replicate this behaviour. To make a numeric cell
+ * display as a date, use {@link #setCellStyle(CellStyle)} etc.
+ *
+ * @param value the numeric value to set this cell to. For formulas we'll set the
+ * precalculated value, for numerics we'll set its value. For other types we
+ * will change the cell to a numerics cell and set its value.
