Hello ,
I have a Oracle SQL query
Select To_NUMBER( AG.SBA_REP, '99,999.99')
FROM TABLE A.
I used the SQL in SSRS and formatted the cell with SSRS expression FORMAT(CDec(Fields!Total_RLHAP_Award.Value), " #,0.00").
The Problem is when I export the report to excel the column records returns to text/General instead of integer. I have also tried removing the expression but the result is the same.
Any idea of how to solve this?.
This is expected since the FORMAT() function returns a string. If you want to maintain the data type you should use the Format property on the textbox in your table instead of using the FORMAT function in an expression on the Value.
I have tried this and it didnt work. see the screen shot. When I exported it, the excel defaulted to general intead of staying as number.
