I am exporting RDLC to excel, I have id , joining date field in rdlc. I have set tablix Id textbox as "number" and for joining date as "date" . But in excel the format cells for id is showing as general instead of number.
How to make format cells for id column as number
When defining TextBox formatting, try with the Custom format.
If your ID is an integer, just set custom format to zero, like this:
After that, you can click again on "Number" and see how it is represented as a number without decimal places, like this:
The rest is easy: From ReportViewer, save the report as Excel. The format of the ID column should be Custom, but it is actually numeric. Honestly, I don’t know why Excel says it is a Custom format and not a number, but I wouldn’t worry about that.

I am working on a report that outputs an excel file. It has 7 tabs/worksheets that the user can choose between. I got the first 5 to format correctly.
But for some reason one of the columns in the 6th worksheet and all the columns in the 7th worksheet don't work and show up as text in the excel cells. For most of them that aren't working(They're showing up as text in the excel cells) I need them formatted as Numeric with no decimals.
Below is how I'm doing the formatting for some of the stuff that worked previously. Keep in mind this worked for the previous 5 worksheets:
ws.Columns[11].Style.Numberformat.Format = "#####0.0000"; ws.Columns[13].Style.Numberformat.Format = "###,###"; ws.Columns[20].Style.Numberformat.Format = "$###,###,##0.00;($###,###,##0.00)"
I think my issue is when the data in the database is numeric and keeping it numeric in the excel sheet isn't working. Although I just checked and I've dealt with numeric types from the database that format correctly though.. Not sure why it's not working.. What am I missing here folks?
I want to download an excel file which has some column which contains number value, text value and currency value.
Now I want to display the number format on every cell. Every number format works fine except the currency one.
Suppose I have a value $100.00. Now I want to display that value as currency (number format). How can we do this?
Enter the money value as you would a double and enter the format like:
worksheet.Cells[1, 1].Style.Numberformat.Format = "$###,###,##0.00";
This is a duplicate of your question I believe.
I'm generating excel report in c# in excel.binding data to excel through datatable.
There is one column which will consist of 16 digit number for eg.,1317722825000285 but in excel it is coming as 1317722825000280 last digit is getting replaced by 0.
So how to can I format this column value as excel Text ?
There's a great post here that may answer your question: Format an Excel column (or cell) as Text in C#?
Try formatting the cell as text and making your variable a string in C# before inserting.
Hope this helps.
I am facing a peculiar problem with Excel with Data Refresh.
A solution that I am working on generates an Excel on the Server using OpenXml.
In this Excel, I also add a Connection Part, which basically is a link to a webpage of my website.
This particular problem is not with English user, but if the User has Danish as the language.
When the Excel is generated, I specify a cell type as Date type (FormatId = 14)
I set the text for the cell as an OADate.
The first rendering works fine and the date is displayed correctly.
But in case of Danish, the decimal value of the OADate is stripped off and a large date is rendered making Excel show ######## (date to large)
But during Data Refresh, when Excel tries to refresh based on the data my webpage sends as Html table, Excel strips the decimal and a long number is placed in the date time cell.
I tried setting the style of the cell based on advice available here: Format HTML table cell so that Excel formats as text?
But it seems there is a difference in the way OADate works. Does anyone know what is the best way to construct the Html for Excel Data Refresh in case of OADate.
By changing the Html to have a cell value as Text work, but I want my Html to pass on the OADate to Excel.

The delimiter "," or "." should be set as per user and then value should be set.

Excel convert my string values to numeric when after export. But i must see "01". How can i change excel cell type or cell value in code when before save file.?
From Excel, highlight the column or the cell, right click and select "Format Cells", under the "Number" tab, click "Custom" under the Category:. In the Type: textbox, key in "00".
You can export text with a apostrophe suffix. for e.g. to display 01 instead of 1, you need to set cell's value as '01 and not just 01
Excel will take this value as text instead of number. But in this case you will see a Error SamrtTag in Excel saying "Number stored as Text" which can be turned off from preferences.
When you read or write a cell there are two values you can look at. The first one is value (e.g. cell.Value) which is the one you are probably setting. The second is NumberFormat (e.g. cell.NumberFormat). This is a string a will represent the format of the value when displayed in Excel, set this to an appropriate value (use the string representations in Excel if you're not sure which one you want).
