Using Report Designer, when I preview the data in a PDF, the number formatting for PDF is correct in which there is a thousands separator--a comma after 3 digits--but the Excel output has it missing.
Excel - 857320
PDF - 857,320
What changes can be made to the attributes so that the comma is present for the Excel export as well?
Selecting #,##0 in format of the attributes of number-field gets the comma after 3 digits.
It seems in pdf it would work even without this format specification but for excel export it needs to be there.

I'm using "£#,##0.00" as a number format when creating spreadsheets using EEPlus.
When you look at the spreadsheet created the format has been modified to "\£#,##0.00". This still displays okay in Excel but doesn't if anyone previews the spreadsheet using the viewer on an iPhone. The £ symbol isn't shown and it doesn't limit to only showing two decimal places.
If I use the same format but with the Dollar or Euro symbols, it doesn't have the problem.
I have an Excel dataset to be imported into Access. One of the fields in Excel has type General, but it's really numbers shown as text. And some of the data in this field is blank. So when importing into Access, I tried to convert this field to double, but due to having blanks in the data, it's giving me type conversion error. Is there a way to handle blanks as 0s and convert to double during the import steps?
Also I think there used to be an "Advanced" button during the import fields step in Access. Now I don't see that button anymore.
In my testing, the blank cells are not the issue, it is the cells that are individually formatted to display as text and do have data. Recommend fixing the spreadsheet. review:
Convert 'numbers as text' to numbers
I want to be able to put some text into a text box but then have that text get copied over to an excel document.
This is a program for a confrence where people will be signing in with names, emails, and addresses. I just don't know how to get it to be able to put that data into an excel document.
If you simply export raw text-based data, then Excel does not require XLSX files. Instead you could export it as a CSV file (Comma-Separated Values). For each person, write a single line of information, separating each field (name, email etc) with a comma.
Assuming you actually mean VB.NET instead of VBA, refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6ka1wd3w(v=vs.110).aspx for how to write the CSV file.
And by "a textbox", I can only assume that you input one person's data at a time, and clear it before entering another person's details. A better way would be to have separate textboxes for each field, and a "Submit" button that adds a line to the list and also clears the textboxes.
When reading a csv file containing ID numbers, excel is reading strings as numbers. This also occurs when reading the same style of ID's in an excel vba array.
Under locals, the elements of the array are displayed as datatype "String", but the format is still a number.
I have tried changing the style to text as well as using CStr() on individual elements of an array. Is there a way to have excel read the ID's as a string instead of a number?
Thanks.
You need to bypass the automatic conversion when you open the .csv file.
Use the Import Wizard to open the file and tell the Wizard that the field is text.
To convert back this might suit:
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,3),".","")&"E"&TEXT(RIGHT(A1,3)-1,"0000")
I have a report containing a currency text filed. I want to separate it's number by coma, every 3 digits. so I changed it's Text Format from it's Properties.
It's OK in normal display, but when I export this report to a PDF file, then it's currency numbers doesn't display well.
Please help me about this problem.
You can use formats.
For example you can fill your text field with:
Price is: {Format("{0:C}", MyPrice)}
