Gets the modified data after that report downloaded to excel

Hello guys

I have something strange is happening in my report... In the report, I have a column A, which is a case statement that returns the data in the form 1-20', 20 '-40', 40 '-60'.

In the report, it will show the amount of each range.

However, when I download my report in excel or excel 2000, value "1-30" gets changed to "Jan-30", but the rest are fine...» When I download in html or another format, everything works well too...

If you know how I can stop excel from converting my type of tank dated after the download? Or is it rather a bug in the application?

Your thoughts?

It is a 'problem' with Excel, not OBIEE. Excel will try to guess the formats of the way in which data are collected. There are a number of things you can try:

(1) change the labels in your CASE statement to "1 in 20', 21 to 40', 41 to 60', etc."

(2) add a single apostrophe to each label. This will ensure that the labels are download "such what." Once downloaded, do a "replace all" replacing the single apostrophe with a single apostrophe. (The purpose of this step is the following: when you download, the file is not really Excel.) Therefore, the single apostrophe actually appears in the worksheet. When you do a "replace all" same exact nature, the 'new' single apostrophe will be interpreted by Excel as the beginning of a literal, in which case what happens is the 'simple' apostrophe disappears, but the value in the cell remains in the form of text.)
