I'm using DataFormatString to format an integer and noticed the column is exported as a String. This value needs to remain as an integer\number so that users are able to work with it in Excel.
What is the best way to format a column yet maintain it's original type when exporting to excel (ExportFormat.ExcelML)?
XAML
ExampleExport.xml
<Cell ss:Index="2"><Data ss:Type="String">9281</Data></Cell>
Note: I noticed the same behaviour when using an IValueConverter to format the integer rather than DataFormatString.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Indeed any type after string.Format() will be string. Formating types is just converting the data to string with desired format.
