Issue with exporting to Excel

Posted on by 157

When I export a view containing our sales estimates, from the goals entity to excel all of the cell's appear as "text", including the cell containing only numbers. This means that we can't perform calculations on them.

I have tried to reformat the cells in Excel to numbers, but nothing happens. It's still text and I can't really do anyting useful with it.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi,

    In your excel, select your columns with text and click ctrl + 1 and set the type to number.

    Press ok.

    Next, press Text to Columns in the data tab.

    Click finish.

    That should be it.

    Regards

    Wouter
