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?

Hello Mugelbbub, yes this is correct it is working as designed, though it is not the best design granted, we suggest you leave feedback within the main cog wheel this gets sent straight to the developers team, this is the only option thanks.

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!

Hello Mugelbbub, Thanks for your reply. We'll pass on your comments to the product development team. Currently it would be a case of reformatting the CSV file you export.

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 Mugelbbub, thanks for sharing that as well, we will pass this on to the team.
