How to save numeric column to excel?

[fox_224]

Hi Vladimir or Alexev,
I have a report which has a numeric colum and I specifically set the properties to numeric format. But when I save to excel, it becomes text, so no calculations can be done. Why does it save as text when I set properties to numeric?
Regards,

Hi Vladimir or anyone,
Is there any solution to the above? Why does Save to Excel convert number field to text? Any solution anyone?

Hi Vladimir,
Thank you very much! I will wait for the update.
Will it be like in the ASP version where there is a property for ExcelVaue?

Also, will it be possible to automatically launch the excel spreadheet after saving so the user don't have to look for the file and open it in excel?

Yes, the algorithm will be the same.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to implement automatic startup of the exported file, because it is forbidden by Flash Player security system.

Thank you.

Hi Vladimir,
Thank you very much it is working as expected now.

Another question: as the file is being printed, the printer status shows a big amount of data being passed across the network. I know you said that cannot be fixed because vector data is huge. Is it possible to automatically convert to pdf and print it from there?

Hello,

Unfortunately, the Flash player allows only saving a file to the disk, automatically print it by means of flash is not possible.

Thank you.
