Exporting Null date to Excel displays as 1/0/1900 1

[howie99]

Hi all,

In CR 10, when exporting to Excel a date field where some records have null dates, the nulls display in Excel as ########. When widening the field, the date displays as 1/0/1900. I understand this is because the null date is transferred as zero and Excel displays a zero date as 1/0/1900.

How do I get the date to display as blank in Excel?

Thanks for your help.

In your report,create a formula to use in place of the actual date field:
@DateForm

If IsNull({DateField}) Then
"" 
Else
ToText({DateField},'MM/dd/yyyy') [COLOR=green]//Case sensitive[/color]

To Paraphrase:"The Help you get is proportional to the Help you give.."
