Append a apostrphe ( ' ) to the internal table value if you are downloading it to an excel file. Those will be considered as 'Text ' field instead of a general field by the excel.

Hi

Try this:

CONCATENATE '=REPLACE("",1,,"' l_field '")' INTO chars_field. And use chars_field for exporting to excel

thanks,
