I have an excel which contain numeric and some numbers are displayed with one decimal where there actual value contain 2 decimals for ex it display 0.3 and when I select that cell its value is 0.25

My problem is I'm saving that excel file as xlUnicodeText:

xlSheet.SaveAs(FileName, Excel.XlFileFormat.xlUnicodeText)

and the data in my text file are displaying it as 0.3.

How I can make it to take and save it in my text file as its true value 0.25 and not as it is displayed?

Try changing the format in your Excel sheet.

The user don't want to do that they want it to be programmed

Then *programmatically* change the format of the sheet before you save it to text.

Yes that is my question, how to do that?

Are you sure there is a 0.25 instead of 0.3?

Solution 2

To programmatically remove the formatting that is causing the problem try something like this

C#

Excel.Range oRng = MySheet.UsedRange;   // or whatever range you need
oRng.NumberFormat = "General";

This also works

C#

oRng.NumberFormat = null;

What's that got to with the format being saved to the text file?
