Suppressing excel warnings using POI

Hi
  If we pass numeric data as string in cell.setColumnValue(string) method in
HSSF the excel takes the passed numeric data as string. The excel then shows
a warning message that numeric data is being stored as string. Is it
possible to suppress this warning display programatically?

TIA

If you store a number as a string, it SHOULD warn you, shouldnt it? 
Store the number as a number.
