Hi CGConsulting, as part of our wrestling of the PHPExcel file export engine we treat all cells as strings, this resolves the issue of 0’s being stripped from post codes and phone numbers.
I’m already looking at adding a cell contents test which will set the cell as a string or default cell based on its contents, we did this in pre-1.9 releases so it’s a matter of hooking that functionality back up in a different file export engine. I’ve added this issue to my todo list to look at next week 🙂
