Hi Good Day

I always need to export from Crystal report in excel form, but I dont
know why the account code which is in "Numeric" such as "11001" is
always export as text, and when I want to vlookup from another set of
data, each of them cant recognize each other, is the anyway to convert
the text numenic to purely numeric ??

Btw, the crystal report only offer me to export as MS excel therefore I
cant do convert the text to numeric form ..
