    Question

    When exporting a report to Excel 2007+, workbook opens but some data is not correct.

    Dates are shown as numbers

     

     

    Answer

     

    Days fields where probably overriden by default date format to custom: [FMT:date]
    this the reason the report can’t export to excel 2007 in good format.

     

     

     

    The default date format is ‘Local Short Date 6/8/2003’

     

     

     

    Please go to all date fields in criteria, right click and select ‘Column Properties’.

    Choose ‘Data Format’ tab  in the open window and change Date Format to ‘Local Short Date 6/8/2003’. Repeat this for all date fields in this report. That should solve the error.
