Vijayendra - The parsing logic is written externally. No Excel's or POI's
parsing logic is used.
I cannot disclose the code, since it is complex and huge.

To summarize the logic, it parse the format string and tries to collect various
formats (represented by custom java classes) in sequence, which later helps in
formatting the value.
The logic is written as per the standard formats. So cannot change it for a
single value. So while parsing the string, if the space is not found, it makes
the formatting messy.
