Stop download to Excel from converting string of digits & dashes into date

724522Jan 8 2010 — edited Jan 12 2010

Hi,
How can I stop BI and Excel data from converting a column of string data that is comprised of numbers and dashes into a date format when it is downloaded into Excel?

I'd like to solve this problem in BI, so that any users can download the data from a BI report into Excel without having to change the Excel date column back into a string column.

Thanks,
Darcy
