New Post: ExcelOpenXmlReader: numbers stored as text

Hi,

I come to an issue that when using the ExcelOpenXmlReader, the numbers formated as text in Excel are always converted to double, ex: the number 0006181(text) is converted to 6181.0(double).
In line 279 there is a verification to see if the format is text:

else if (xf.NumFmtId == 49)
  o = o.ToString();

but the convertion is from the object already converted to double!

Sugestion:

else if (xf.NumFmtId == 49)
   o = _xmlReader.Value;

this will preserve numbers as text, as long as they are formated as text in Excel.
