Hi there,
I'm using SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 and am having trouble getting calculated members which have the FORMAT_STRING="Currency" to display correctly in Excel 2010.
Using the cube browser in BIDS my currency calculated members are displaying correctly, however in Excel 2010 they are just being represented in the format "#,00".
So the measure value in the cube browser looks like $16,361.13 however in Excel it looks like 16361.132. Now I could easily within Excel change the format of the value to display as currency however it should do that automatically.
The strange thing is that my non-calculated members, i.e. the generic measures which should be displayed as currency do display in Excel correctly automatically. For some reason it's just my currency calculated members which don't. This is the same across all of my cubes and I'm not sure why.
Would anyone be able to offer some insight please?
Kind regards,
Chris
