Hi

Sorry for the late reply. To solve this problem we can set
=Fields!MyField.Value as the Value and set ="###,###,###,##0" as the
Format. You can find the "Format" under the "Appearance" of the properties
window.

Please have a try and feel free to let met know if you need further
assistance.

|
| I have an RDLC file report where on a few data elements, I'm running a
format
| function on the data in order to get commas separators in the number.
The
| textbox property for the data elements value is
|
| =Format(CLng(Fields!MyField.Value),"###,###,###,##0")
|
| The data elements in the xsd that the report uses are defined as either
| decimal or integer. Essentially, we just want to get a whole number here
| with no decimal places that has a readable comma delimiter every 3
positions.
|
|
| The format works well for the web report. But when the report is
generated
| in Excel, I get a bunch of green corner triangles with an error that
says,
| "The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceeded by an
apostrophe."
| The values are all treated as character data in the spread*** and not
as
| numeric values that calculations can be performed on, making it
frustrating
| if you want to do some simple math in the spread***.
|
| Is there a way to format this data so that it will be recognized as a
number
| in excel and still have the commas in the number for readability?
