New experience reports export to excel with values stored as text and for .csv with a preceding accent character rendering both reports pretty useless without reformat?

Hi Ashleigh1,

Thanks for replying.  I have left feedback in the COG already.

I can not believe that a financial product exporting to a spreadsheet designs it so the numbers come out as text.

Baffled!

not just hte .csv but also with the excel file since the values are formatted as text.

I may not have mentioned but been exporting .cvs  from multiple different packages for over forty years and never has one exported values (particularly financial) as text.  

Usually   19.2    but never  Â£19.20  

and oddly in principle for your developers, the legacy reports export values to excel fine as values 19.20 albeit on a  #,##0.00 _€ format   so why do it as text now?

Hello there, Mouselette.

As mentioned by Ashleigh1 above, the current export behavior, where values in Excel files are stored as text and CSV files include a preceding accent character, is working as intended.

With that, we recommend sharing your insights directly with our product development team so they can review user concerns and consider enhancements to improve the program's functionality.
