JExcel -- Write a cell value that may be a number or empty

Question

In JExcel, you can do:

new Number(column,row,value)

but null is not an accepted value.

For labels, using null as a value is fine.

Is there a way to create a cell that is either a Number or null, without doing this logic manually, as in:

if (value != null) {
  return new Number(column, row, value)
} else {
  return new Label(column, row, null)
}
