Ruby and Excel,

hi,

I am using Adodb connector which is made of Ruby code to update and
retrieve data. My problem is, Adodb connector always update the cell in
character format,

1)when cell is in general format it update successfully.
2)And when cell is in general format and when it contains the integer
value, it fails to update.
3)If cell is in character format it updates successfully.

So My problem is the second point if cell contains the value(general) it
fails to update. Could anyone suggest me how to resolve this problem?
