Looks like a bug to me. Afaict a calculated dimension is always converted to text.

i think this is not a bug, because when you export a pie chart , bar chart or any other type chart, the image of chart will be converted to text format in excel

I don't think so. You'll need to either fix the format in Excel or use a macro to export to excel and also fix the format in the macro.

Yes, manual work. Unless you create a VBA macro in Excel to do it, but that's complicated.

I cant imagine any reason for this, but if you click with right button,  copy to clipboard -> Object , open the excel and then CTRL+V , after this,  you can be able to alter the values.
