This thing has been driving me nuts!

I'm exporting to Excel 2007. I've got the empty template that I am copying to my destination location before I export. It doesn't seem to matter how I built my sheets in the file, as soon as I delete my sample data, SSIS starts exporting my numeric data as strings.

How do I export my data as numeric data to an empty sheet?

Hi, ellison.
In my opinion, you can have a try of RAQ Report.
With it, you can export report to Excel eaily without any difference.
An example is shown below:


I wish this can be helpful.
Good luck.

have you checked the datatype of columns in metadata of ssis? if they're string can you try converting them explicitly using datatype conversion task.
