The currency fields came in as text strings. The only choices to reformat the fields were as dates, general not as a numeric or currency as a result I was unable to perform calculations against these fields without first manually striping the string identify from each field! I see were some one entered a fix request to define numerics as strings. This makes absolutely no sense. I am lucky I have a MAC. I had to use Apple's Numbers spreadsheet application. Please rethink this.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
