ReportHas anyone encountered an issue when developing a custom SL using Smartlist Designer that when you export to Excel, the following error message is received?
“Excel found unreadable content in '2015122-17153.xlsx' Recover the contents of this workbook..."
If I click yes to recover the data, I receive the following status message:
The data is in Excel but all the QTY and Currency fields appear as text, dates appear as =DATE(2015, 1, 22).
I receive the error on my test VM machine, the client’s server, and on a user’s machine. In all environments, Excel 2010 is being used.
I created a SQL View to pull the necessary data, made sure the DYNGRP role has SELECT ON access to the SQL View.
I only receive the error message when exporting the custom SL to Excel – all pre-built SL export with no issues. I created 2 custom Smartlists - both in the Purchasing module, one from the existing Receiving Line Items SL and one from the SQL View I created – both generate the export error.
To continue to troubleshoot, I created another Custom SL using the AccountTransactions view. It doesn’t generate the error message but it does convert the debit and credit amount to text instead of currency. I did one using the Items By Site and it does the same thing with the QTY fields – converts them to text. It only converts them back to integer if F2 is pressed to edit the cell.
Any thoughts on the error message?
