           Excel uses internal formatting and attempts to 'guess' what the proper format for a value should be. This means that sometimes, Excel guesses incorrectly and while the correct value might be exported to Excel, the format will be wrong - for example, .623 instead of 62.3%. In this case, it is necessary to specify the data type group exactly using the full constructor to specify data type:

          -`AdHocSettings.Formats.Add("{0:P2}", new SimpleFormat("Percent", "{0:P2}", new SqlTypeGroup[] { SqlTypeGroup.Numeric, SqlTypeGroup.Money, SqlTypeGroup.Real }));`

          +```csharp

          +   AdHocSettings.Formats.Add("{0:P2}", new SimpleFormat("Percent", "{0:P2}", new SqlTypeGroup[] { SqlTypeGroup.Numeric, SqlTypeGroup.Money, SqlTypeGroup.Real }));
