Number Format Not Working When object exported to excel Using Macro

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:30:17 GMT

Hi,

I have a question,

I'm exporting my object using macro, i have a data like this

- 4.250 (3 decimal) when exported become 4.25 (2 decimal)

- 4,500. when exported become 4500 (no comma)

Is it possible to keep the original value from the object when object are exported using macro ?

Here is the details of my macro

'// ****************************************************************

'// More enhanced export of three objects to three different sheets

'// ****************************************************************

sub exportToExcel_MultiObj

'// Array for export definitions

Dim aryExport(2,3)

set Path = ActiveDocument.Variables("vPath")

GetPath = Path.GetContent.String

aryExport(0,0) = "OBJ1"

aryExport(0,1) = "Object1"

aryExport(0,2) = "A2"

aryExport(0,3) = "data"

aryExport(1,0) = "OBJ2"

aryExport(1,1) = "Object2"

aryExport(1,2) = "A2"

aryExport(1,3) = "data"

aryExport(2,0) = "OBJ3"

aryExport(2,1) = "Object3"

aryExport(2,2) = "A2"

aryExport(2,3) = "data"

Dim objExcelWorkbook 'as Excel.Workbook

Set objExcelWorkbook = copyObjectsToExcelSheet(ActiveDocument, aryExport)

'filePath = ActiveDocument.Variables("vPath")

objExcelWorkbook.SaveAs GetPath

objExcelWorkbook.Application.Quit

'// Now either just leave Excel open or do some other stuff here

'// like saving the excel, some formatting stuff, ...
