Number stored as text warnings while exporting the data to Excel using Export to Excel pugin

Hi Team,

I am using Export to Excel plugin to write the data to Excel which is coming as individual process variables

There are some of the numeric values which are coming and should be written in excel, I tried to give the formatting in the base template for the corresponding columns as number

But when it tried to write the data to excel it generates certain dirty warnings for those numeric column as "Number is stored as text"

Then I revert the type of the variables and  tried keeping everything as text from the process variables as well as in Excel marked those columns as General

but even then it generates those warning

Now main issue is that We need to do the export to excel followed by an import to CDT, after making the changes to the columns of the excel which generates after Export to Excel

but during parsing it fails as it says as Invalid excel sheet

I would appreciate any help in this regard.

Below is the excel columns which generate warnings

 

 

Thanks-

Ruchi

  • Can you check whether the columns that are having the number as text error are defined as number type in cdt or db table?
    I have used the same plugin with a column as number type and while exporting it was not showing any such warning but a column of type text having decimal and numeric values was showing the warning. I haven't done any formatting in the excel template for the particular column.
    So, I think the warning comes only when the data coming from db is of type text but is having numbers or decimals as value.

    the above mention issue indicates that, there are some mismatch between the type of data returned from DB and it's corresponding type in Excel (which is responsible to hold the data into it's cell)
