xls formatting 'logic'

Dear Community

I started with KNIME this May. I would like to format the excel saved with “excel writer”, but I am not able to apply the concept since there is no change realized in the excel I intend to format.

Can anyone help me on this?

Coding/situation:

A sorter node contains the final data table before writing the data with “Excel Writer”.

From this sorter node I connect an “XLS Control Table Generator”, in the configuration I select ‘write comun header to first row’ and apply/OK.

From this I connect an “XLS Cell formatter” and input in the tag selection the tag “WE Total”; for data type and format I would like to have 1000 separator without decimals => apply/OK.

From this I connect an “XLS Formatter (apply)” and do a ‘red connection’ to “Excel Writer”.

Running all the nodes I can not realize any change in the column “WE Total”…

What am I doing wrong…?

Thanks a lot and best regards

Martin
