POI HSSF XML to Excel DataFormat Problem

Question

Hiho,
I�ve got the following problem:
I want to create an Excel File from an XML File with POI and DOM4J. This works fine...
Now I want to create some cells with a currency value in it, on which I want to calculate.
Here�s my code:
HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet(s);
HSSFDataFormat format = wb.createDataFormat();
HSSFCellStyle intStyle = wb.createCellStyle();
intStyle.setDataFormat(format.getFormat("(�#.##0,00);(�#.##0,00)"));
     for (cellit = rowelement.elementIterator(); cellit.hasNext();) {
          cellelement = (Element) cellit.next();
          String value = cellelement.getStringValue();
          cell = row.createCell(columnnum);
          s = cellelement.attributeValue("numeric");
          if (s != null) {
               cell.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC);
               if (value != null)
                    cell.setCellValue(value);
                    cell.setCellStyle(intStyle);
   ...I always get a value with a prefixed apostrophe in Excel, which says that there�s an int value in a string cell (I think). Has anyone an idea whats wrong with my code? Thanks
