Bug Description

We can't accept the default behavior that converts numeric ids to strings and, in so doing, adds a '.0' to the id that was intended by the user. We will deliver an error message that instructs the user to format the cells as string, not numeric.

I thought this was a solved problem. getTextFoundValid was made to handle cells formatted as numbers when text is expected. It does not add .0
I don't know why you have added new methods that explicitly don't handle such cells. It is hard to convince Excel to not format numbers as numbers.
