Describe the bug
I have a xlsx , read using partition_xlsx and parsing the text_as_html , I can find negative values whereas excel doesnt have any negative value

To Reproduce

elements = partition_xlsx(filename="excelfilepath")
print(elements[0].metadata.text_as_html)

Expected behavior
Values should be positive and exact value needs to be extracted

If we notice 98 is the value in the sheet was extracted as -97.90044 , decimal value is still fine but negative value is not acceptable

Maybe try reading the excel through a normal library such as pandas once to verify if the actual data is not different to what's being displayed. Excel can be weird with it's data
