| HiI have a stored procedure in MS SQL Server which creates and exports a table, via a VB.net file, into Excel and the table has a column which contains decimals.When the table opens in Excel any decimal is being treated as a date. e.g. 1.7 become 01/07/2011. I have tried concatenating the decimal so it is preceded by a single quotation mark but this doesn't work. Is there a way around this please?Thanks |
