I have an Oracle rdf/xml/rtf report, and the user wants to open it with Excel. Everything looks good except the number columns can not be summed up.
Experts please help!

Why are you posting about a problem you have with Excel in this Oracle forum?

I suspect that more characters than just numeric digits exist within Excel cell.

This is something related to Oracle report that originally is read-only EBS report. It does not care to return text or number. After converted some functions from text to number, those columns can be summed up. Bu the formats are still not good enough.

You don't have to do that.
