Hi,

 

I have a table that contains three columns: 1. dimension 2.calculated dimension 3.expression 

when I export the table to excel I would like to export the column "calculate dimension" to a number and not text.

I have attached qvw for an example.

The issue appears to be related to the following setting, which has a default value of on/1:

ExcelExportMixedAsText

If you change this to off/0, it should do the text, but this setting is global to the client, so everything is going to follow the pattern.  You would put this into the Settings.ini file under the [Settings 7] area.  Hopefully this will do the trick.

Brett
