String formatting in Excel

edited Nov 12, 2012 2:44AM in BI Publisher (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓
I have a report that I am scheduling.  My first column, location, is a 3 digit number and saved as a string as some of them have "No Code" in that field.  When I export it to excel, it is formatting it as a number.  If the code is '004' it is only outputting it as '4'.  Is there a way to keep it as a string so it will output the 3 digits when going to excel?

Howdy, Stranger!
