EXCELNUMBER= Excel converts numeric labels into numbers

When person and items labels are output to Excel using IFILE= and PFILE=, numerical labels can be stored as characters or numerical values.

EXCELNUMBER = No (default)

Person and items labels become Excel text. An underline _ may be appended to the label to prevent Excel converting long numbers into numerical values. Excel is allowed to convert short numbers into numerical values.

1234 becomes a numerical value

0123 becomes 0123_

123456 becomes 123456_

You can "replace all" in Excel to remove the _

EXCELNUMBER = Yes

Allows Excel to convert labels that look like numbers into numerical values.
