When Excel se something like 123E5 it reads this as 123x10^5
So your identify 'number' is being read as a number not a text
Any chance of changing the SSRS file so that field looks like text to Excel
(a letter as leading character, for example)?
best wishes

I just got Excel 2007. I'm exporting from an SSRS report to Excel.
One of the fields being exported is an identifying number. It is
coming accross as 2.00309e+006. I can't get it to look like a regular
number. I've tried formatting it as a number with no decimal places.
I've tried the same with Currency and Accounting. I've tried Text as
well. Please help.

Thanks,
Jennifer
