Excel export and cell type

[yanmania]

Is it possible to extract a rich:datatable so that Excel cells are typed.

For exemple, I have a richdatatable with a column of dates, a column of numbers and a column of string like that :

Date          Price       Product
13/02/2009    100.50      computer X
22/02/2009    150.00      computer Y

When I export my dataTable, I would like to have a Excel sheet with these type :
A1 : string    B1 : String      C1 : string
A2 : date      B2 : float       C3 : string

Does it make sens ?

Sorry the format of my message is not correct :

Date        Price       Product
13/02/2009   100.50      computer X 
22/02/2009   150.00      computer Y

A1 : string     B1 : String     C1 : string 
A2 : date        B2 : float      C3 : string
