Formatting Excel columns

Hi

I am having problem with formating columns in excel. I am retrieving data from oracle database and using a servlet I am writing the report to excel. But some of the char fields of Oracle (whose values are numbers like 00011) are being displayed as numbers and not as text (like 11 instead of 00011).

Can anyone please let me know how to solve this.

Thank you

Siva
