Miguel, I am unable to reproduce the issue with CF10 update 12 (on a Win 7x64). I am able to change the cell format after creating a spreadsheet. Here's the code I used. Can you pls. share the code with which you can reproduce the issue, in case you are using a different set of functions/tags. <cfset xl_qry = QueryNew("Name, Time, Advanced, day", "VarChar, Time, Bit, Date")> <cfset QueryAddRow(xl_qry, 2)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "Name", "The Wonderful World of CMFL", 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "Time", "9:15 AM", 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "Advanced", False, 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "day", dateFormat(now()), 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "Name", "CFCs for Enterprise Applications", 2)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "Time", "12:15 PM", 2)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "Advanced", True, 2)> <cfset QuerySetCell(xl_qry, "day", dateFormat(now()), 2)> <cfset xls_sheet = spreadsheetNew(false)> <cfset SpreadSheetAddRows(xls_sheet, xl_qry)> <cfset SpreadSheetWrite(xls_sheet, "#expandpath("./")#" & "output.xls", true)> <cfset xlsx_sheet = spreadsheetNew(true)> <cfset SpreadSheetAddRows(xlsx_sheet, xl_qry)> <cfset SpreadSheetWrite(xlsx_sheet, "#expandpath("./")#" & "output.xlsx", true)>

Hi Piyush, I'm also unable to reproduce this (tried on CF10 Update 8 and CF11 Update 3). I am able to change the cell format using your example code. Thanks!, -Aaron

Thanks Aaron. Miguel, Closing this since the issue is not reproducible with the test case i my previous note. If you continue to face the issue please feel free to revert with a test case or with further details.
