Copy+Pasting currency value from SSMS 2012 to excel does not complete or calculate new value So I'm trying to copy and paste some query results into Excel, and for some reason it seems to be not properly completing the first value.

Let me explain what I mean by this.

In Excel the cells I am copying into are formatted as Currency. Normally when you copy in value(s) or type it in and then press enter, it formats it properly with commas, dollar signs, decimals, etc, and then any formulas that use this cell are recalculated instantly.

However, when I copy in a set of values, the very first one does not get formatted, and it does not get calculated in a formula that uses that cell. The next 4 values work properly though, and if I try doing just one value at a time the problem still occurs.

At first I tried casting and converting the values to different SQL types like decimal, money, float, as I thought it was an issue with that, but it makes no difference.

In my actual query these values are SUMs of decimal fields, but here is an example query that does the same thing:

SELECT 123456.78, 9012.34, 567890.12, 345678.90, 123456.78;


Does anyone know what is causing this?

I'm pretty sure this is something to do with SSMS 2012 and not Excel, as it never happened to me in 2008. Not to mention there was another copy and paste issue I ran into earlier with SSMS 2012 involving carriage returns and line feeds that caused new rows when pasted into Excel that never happened in 2008.

Thanks
If I do a Paste Special, I get two options, Text and Unicode, and selecting Text seems to work properly, where as Unicode does not.
