formatting column from stored procedure

[slash5bmw]

I'm insert data from a sql server table and I lose all the formatting in the excel file.
My sales_date and volume both display as general. I need them to display as a date format and a number format.
They are both character format.


INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 12.0;Database=C:\company-info.xlsx;HDR=YES',
'SELECT Company, Pub, States, Years, Sales_Date, Container, Volume FROM [Data$]')
SELECT Company, Pub, States, Years, Sales_Date, Container, Volume from TempFinal


Any ideas?

Thank you,

FDibbins, sorry about that.
This code actually resides in a sql stored procedure.
It inserts records from sql server to excel but the formatting in the excel column changes to General.
I need the columns to stay as a date and number format for the Sales_date and volume fields.
