I had issues with the QlikView to Excel extract but solved that problem with the ini setting on the server using ExcelExportMixedAsText = 0. However, it did not solve it for data in a cyclic group. I also changed it in my desktop version and the problem is there as well. I have tried putting NUM() in the script for the data elements but that didn't help either. I suppose I could let the user select with a list box but that defeats the purpose of the cyclic group. Any input would be appreciated.
