I have done tons of exporting to excel in NAV 2009 R2 and previos version but am running into something annoying in NAV 2016. I am using the Excel buffer table and exporting a formula as I always have using the "Cell Value As Text" for example: =YEAR(A1) (Where cell A1 is a date). In NAV 2009 this goes into Excel as a working formula and actually displays the Year while keeping the formula behind the scenes.
In NAV 2016 it shows as the text of the formula and does not display the result of the formula. If I click on the cell, hit F2 and Enter it actually then registers it as a formula and works fine. Super annoying though.
If I use the Formula field in the Excel buffer it is not what I want because it calculates the formula as it exports but then just puts in the formula result as text so the actual formula is gone and will never recalculate again.
Anyone know of a work around for this (basically make it work like the ExcelBuffer of old)?
