Hi all,
I have used sp_makewebtask previously to export the results of a query to xls file.
But now I have some columns that need to be formatted in a perticular way in excel.
ie: 123456789123456 shows as 1.2E+14 in excel
In excel if I format this column to numeric with no decimals I get the desired 123456789123456

My question is can sp_makewebtask be used to programatically format how excel displays the data or do I need to go about it differently
thx,
Ray..
