v-jiascu-msft definitely doesn't work, i just retried, works in neither the desktop nor serivce, it comes through as a whole number.  I need it to be currency - someone else tried it and didn't work for them either.

    Hi vanessafvg,

     

    Can you share the Excel file? Only a little piece is needed that can reproduce the issue. BTW, I have Excel 2016. The contents in Excel are formatted as a table.

      v-jiascu-msft i created an excel file with 2 row with 2 columns in and formatted it as table, it was dummy data and saved it that is excel 2016, not to sure if the sharing will resolved this,  because it was really simple nothing complicated.   if you send me your email i can send it to you thank you :)
