Problem exporting to excel - thousandseparator and percentages

AndvariAndvari
edited 6:13PM in FastReport 4.0
Hi,

I am trying to export a report to excel, but whenever I do the export, excel does not use the formatting I have in my report

1. Thousand separator
My numbers are formated with %2.2n and I am using the char ' . ' as the thousand separator. On my printed report, everything works fine.
But when I export to excel, the thousands separator is ignored

2. Percentages with 1 decimal
I have a few percentages that I want to show only 1 decimal point. I am using the format #.#% and in my printed report,everything works fine.
But when I export to excel, I always get 2 decimal points.

Is there anything else I need to do to force excel to use the formating that I am using with fast reports and not it's own default formatting?
What is the best way to garantee that the data appears correctly in excel?

I have been banging my head against the wall and can't find the solution for this.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks!

    Hello,

    Could you attach an example fp3 report in order I can check the issue and fix it?

    Hi, I am sending the fp3 file.
    In this specific case, you can find the errors I reported:

    1. The report shows the thousand separator correctly, but when exported to excel it does not show the separator
    2. The percentages have 1 decimal value, but when exported excel shows 2 decimal points

    For some reason I can't seem to upload the file, so I'm pasting the content of the fp3 file here.

    Thank you for the help.
