Error description
Excel file has some numbers ( formatted to text in Excel). In the external utility screen I am??specifying the column from excel as "text". But when I pull the data on a report it is formatting it as a number. For ex.. If the original value??on the excel file was 12345, cognos report is showing up 12345.0000 and not as 12345.????In cognos if the format is not changed to "text", this displays as expected-12345??
Local fix
do not change the format within cognos or format in Excel as "in teger" instead of "text"
