Date/ Time Object Changes to Text Value when exporting to Excel

Hi All,

I have a BO 4.0 Report , which has a Date Column.It has Data in the format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss (eg : "26/11/2013 12:01:01").

When i export the report to Excel and  When i Right Click on Format Cells of Excel and check it is showing as 'Text' and not as Date.

My client requirement is , the Data Type Should be as Date When Exporting to Excel as Well.

Thanks,

Kirthi
