Answer 1

There is an answer to a question I asked on this some time back.

Most notably, the data types this guy uses in his answer are:

private struct ExcelDataTypes
{
    public const string NUMBER = "NUMBER";
    public const string DATETIME = "DATETIME";
    public const string TEXT = "TEXT"; // also works with "STRING".
}

Look familiar?
