	Hi, is there something in crystal formatting that can force a character into a date field if it null ? Ie. ######, so when I export to excel I will see #### in the cell instead of a blank ? Thanks.

	i think you would have to convert it to a string, something like: if isnull(date) then "######" else totext(date,"MM/dd/yyyy")

	I know, thanks. We just converted from ver 9 to 2008 and we run these reports into excel. I still have the old ver. 9 report and there's no formula for that, although it has ### in excel. So I was hoping that it's some kind of a setting in crystal.

	might be how you have your NULL options set in the Report Options. See if you set them differently between the versions.
