Hi Team,
I am using a web hierarchical grid and I have a column (Project Total) which has datatype as "Number" and format as "Currency" .When I am exporting it to excel, cell format is getting change from number to text . I want the cell format as it is which is "Number" .
In below screenshot, yellow columns are coming as text which should be in number type and green columns are coming correctly. Although, its the same piece of code for the yellow ones and green ones .
{ key: "ProjectTotal", headerText: "Project Total", dataType: "number", format: "currency", width: "22%" }
Are the columns under A autogenerated, or is the child grid A autogenerated ? What is the difference between A and B in configuration ? I'm asking to verify if this may be a mistake in our code.
Meanwhile, to resolve the issue, I suggest that you set column type for excel in the exportEnding event:
exportEnding: function(sender, args) { args.worksheet.columns(i).cellFormat().formatString("number"); }
autogeneratecolumns is false for both A&B and again sometimes it comes as a number and sometimes it comes as a text
