Issues while Exporting OBIEE Answers Report to Excel

Question

Hi All,
In my report, I have a column named (Order number) which is a measure column. I am displaying this column in a pivot table view. In the measure section i am duplicating this column(Order number) and applying % for the column in the following way:
Order number column-> Show Data As-> percent Of-> Column
After doing this i am getting values like this 0.3, 99.5 etc etc... But when i export this report to Excel sheet. The result appears like this .0%, 1.0% etc like this. But I want 0.3, 99.5 that is the decimal points should be displayed accurately in the excel. How could I do it? Pls anybody shed light on this issue? Awaiting your reply...
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
You can try adding the below statement in the Custom CSS section of the column properties:
mso-number-format:"\@"
Refer snapshot here:

This will treat the data in the column as text while downloading to excel, hence retaining any leading or trailing spaces.
Award points it is useful.
Thanks,
