[Bug 844569] [NEW] Excel Export - provides numbers as characters

 

Public bug reported:


just tried because of Antony's remark
Btw the new export system was just merged few days ago in commit:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openerp/openerp-web/trunk/revision/912

using
http://client-web-trunk.runbot.openerp.com:9406/web/webclient/home#

opening an export in Excel ( I tried assets) provides numbers as
characters makeing the export not very useful for further processing

numbers must be numbers

BTW
1) IMHO export to CSV MUST at least allow to set /overwrite decimal separator !!! 
it's a source of  permanent annoyance because an export must be done according to the (localized) specs of the import program

in Openoffice/Libre Office all numeric columns have to be changed
manually to "US English" which I do not consider as userfriendly at all.

2) IMHO  Default Export Type should be "all data"

3) export Type "Import compatible" only shows ID ??
