Hi all
I have a VFP report and am using XFRX to create an Excel sheet. The numeric vales in the
report are flagged up as "The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded
by an apostrophe".
In the Format tab of the Field Properties I have set the format expression as 99999999.99
and specified the numeric option (i.e. not character or date). I have also added #UR
XLSF="#0.00" to the comment field but am still getting the same issue. Does
anybody know how to get around this? I do NOT want to have to change the Error checking
rules in Excel.
Presumably the report is based around a table or cursor? If so are the
fields numeric?
Not used XFRX but I usually get that problem when using COPY TO ... TYPE
XLS if the field is character.
