Hi Doreen,
We have been using MYOB for years and this number to text issue only began last week. We have never before had to do the text to number conversion.
Thanks.
Hi JS321 , one possibility is that something has changed in your Office program. Try doing a quick repair.
Which reports are affected? Give me a couple of examples.
Hi Mike,
I did consider that however when I called MYOB support, they also got the same result.
It is happening with any excel export so Trial Balance, GL etc. It doesn't matter if it's a custom or generic report either.
We use the Desktop App and only this seems to be affected. If I do an export from the online version, then its all good. Unfortunately, all our customs reports are on the desktop version which is why we're still on it.
Thanks JS321 . I've run a few such reports and the values in Excel are all formatted as numbers. (v2025.6).
Was clearing the cache suggested or attempted?
No, it wasn't. How do you do that on the Desktop App? The exports are not auto saved either, they just open as an excel file.
