Hi folks,
Ive just noticed that when you turn on the collect Emergency Contact details and a client adds their contact name, phone etc - something happens when you export to Excel. Ive noticed the same on previous events but put it down to my clumsiness.
With the Main contact info, Cell Phone numbers end up formatted so that it always displays in the Excel sheet as a number and the way it is entered. In the Excel data bar it displays as a ="12345678" type data and in the cell it displays as entered ie 12345678
eg extract of Excel Sheet:
EmergencyContactName
|
EmergencyContactPhone |
| Joe Blog |
12345 |
| Micky Mouse |
4.47877E+11 |
| My Test |
12345678 |
| The Phamtom |
123456789 |
But in the Excel data for the emergency phone UNLESS you format that column in the exported report to be "Number" then the phone number is displayed (for me) as a stupid number eg 4.47877E+11 in the cell but is correct in the data bar.
Am I missing something here or doing something wrong. This is just a straight export from a Custom report with selected fields. Surely all phone/cell numbers get formatted the same way - or??
Help please.
Regards
