I have a price column in tablix with currency format("$"). when i export the report to excel this column is converting to text. Could anyone let me know how to make it as number in excel.
As TPhe mentioned, you can use the Format property to format the text box with C2 for currency (C for Currency and 2 for the number of digits after the decimal). Using the Format property usually makes Excel format the cell correctly.

I have an .xlsx file that has some custom date/time formatted columns. Specifically, I have 2 columns that have custom format of yyyy-mm-ddThh:nn:ssZ
When I open it in LibreOffice Calc, the dates in those 2 columns show as decimal numbers instead, eg. 44778.6423148148
If I open the document in Excel Online, everything looks as it should. If I change the format of those 2 columns within Calc using the same format of yyyy-mm-ddThh:nn:ssZ, they change just fine.
I also wanted to add that I am exporting this file from PowerBi so I don't have the option to save it in an older format of excel.
How can I have it retain the formatting when opening the file in Calc?
I have a number field in report which is having below type of values.
19707.51
9834.01
Now I need to format the above field to get the decimal place before 4 digits.
I tried giving this
mid(totext({Command_2.INVOICE_AMT},4),1,1)+'.'+
mid(totext({Command_2.INVOICE_AMT},4),2,length(totext({Command_2.INVOICE_AMT},4))-1)
Required output is
1.970.751,00
983.401,00
Create a formula which multiplies your values by 100.
Use the Format Editor for the formula. Choose an existing format or define your own if you need to.
I have added a new varchar field(for eg: data appears to be like this 763268953286) in the existing report. But when I tried to export Crystal report XI data to TTX format, the similar data comes as 7.63245E + 11. Data format changing when covert to TTX. In crystal report, I have formatted the datafield as toText({data fieldname}). How can I format it properly to avoid invalid characters printing
Try something like this ToText({Numerical Database Field},2," ",",")
The argument you need is a Number or Currency value to be converted into a text string; it can be a whole or fractional value.

I am performing a mail merge and have an issue when trying to correct the percentage format. The problem is that the source column contains both a percent value and text. If I map the field, percents display as decimal in word. If I use the following, it displays correctly:
{=«Percent»*100 # 0%}
However, now when the row contains text I receive an error.
Is there another way I can do this?
Here is the formula you need
{={MERGEFIELD XYZ}*100\ #0.00%}
No, Word has no way to do string manipulation in its fields. Add another field / column to your data source for the text, or format the percentile in Excel before performing the merge.
I've produced a report in Crystal Reports XI where I in one of the fields have used the display string formula to alter the apperance of some data as well as group similar data values to one value (e.g. "neg", "negative", and "-" now all displays as "negative" in the report.)
However, now when I export the report to CSV for delivery to a customer the raw data, and not the display string formula result, is in the export. I've tried all 4 settings with the checkboxes in the CSV export options.
Is there any way to make the display string formatted data beeing exported to the CSV?
Are there any alternate ways of achiving the desired formatting and getting the formatting preserved in CSV export?
Unfortunately, i've not found a way of using the display string formula and achieving the desired result.
Instead create a new formula and replace the object on the report with the new formula.
