Symptoms

When exporting Financial Reporting report Microsoft Excel, a quote mark is being added to values with decimals.  This is resulting in values being treated as text.

A scenario where the problem is seen:

  1. Run the FR report in HTML preview
  2. Export it from File > Export > Excel
  3. In resulted Excel sheet, click on negative number or a number with decimal places
  4. An additional quote in Excel can be seen e.g. the data in cell begins with a single quote "  '  "
    (Excel cell data beginning with a single quote are considered text and not numeric values)

Note : Values that do not have a decimal set, do not encounter this problem.
