Report export to csv currencies

Hi there,

Working in a global environment, I often need to export reports holding currency values.

Once in the .csv file I find "AUD1,234.15" for example.

When imported in Excel, this becomes a 'General' formatted field , which acts like a string.

So sorting as numericals is not possible.

Is there a way (during export out of Sugar, or import in Excel) to have these values as currencies in Excel ?

Thanks for your help,

;-)

  • Hi D,

    I tried that tip , but it doesn't seem to work as expected. Renaming to .txt and then open it via the Data menu from Excel allows me to change the field type , but if I change the original type to Currency or Decimal number , all values that are not net in my systems default currency, return an 'error'. 

    By the way , in my O365 setup when loading a .txt file , it gets sent to teh Power Query Editor.

    I keep on looking ;-)

    Bye now
