New Post: Cell format changing after deleting row

I fixed my problem, if anyone else ever finds themselves in my shoes, and finds this thread, here's what I did:

Change the way the cells are written from regular to rich text.  See the code snippet below:

$objRichText = new PHPExcel_RichText( $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B1') );
$objRichText->createText('01234');

Thanks!
