Formatting in MS Access

I am trying to format a Access table fields to include all values as in the images below. However when I copy and paste from excel to the Access table, only significant figures appear in the table. The fields are currently of Text Datatype, I have tried Number Datatype but the values get rounded up. How do I correct this to accomplish this task? Is there a SQL query I can run to return the expected formatting?
Currently if I copy and paste from excel to Access:
Expected:
Perhaps If I leave the fields as Text Datatype, would the Format() method using the approach below sort it out:
SELECT Format(ExchangeRate, "#.######"), Format(ForeignGross, "#.##")
FROM tab1;
In Access, set the Format property for those two fields, respectively:
0.000000
0.00
Never store amounts or quantities as text. Change Field Data Type to Number and use Field Size: Double and Format: 0.000000 and 0.00 respectively.

Data type issues faced while exporting report from cognos to excel

When I export report from cognos to excel 2002 or 2007 format I want to convert the numbers to numeric data type.
I face issues after exporting when i try to find sum of certain columns it has values as
23,3456|
2356|
45,686.89|
20.00
due to this comma or other characters its taking the columns as text or some other data type.
so I manually convert to numeric data type and then apply summation functions. Need a solution to avoid this.
I want the decimal values to be decimal and numeric values to be numeric.
The region/language settings of your Cognos install does not match the region/language settings of Excel (which is inherited from Windows). The best solution is to adjust Windows settings to match Cognos or vice-versa.
Alternatively in the report in question you can override the Data Format of the values by selecting them and choosing Data Format from the properties window. From there you can adjust various settings such as forcing a specific data type as well as other options such as whether to use a comma separator.
