Export numeric column to excel become string cell

edited August 2010 in General
Hi,

I have a report that contain some numeric columns. These column become
string cell after export to excel. I am very sure the columns are of
type double. After export to excel, I can't apply excel formula like
SUM to these columns.

I am using ReportBuilder 12.

    Check the Help | About of the report designer and make sure it says version
    12.01, build 197. If not, then please update to the latest release and
    retest. If you have the issue with the latest release, then please generate
    the report to an archive file (.raf) and send in zip format to support@ and
    we can check it out here.

    This issue was resolved by the developer setting the field's datatype to
    dtDouble rather than dtString. For elements such as DBText the exported
    DataType is derived from the DataField (i.e. the TppField.DataType).
