@Chartman123 we've manually backported it as codebase is not the same. |

You're absolutely right, my fault... so please re-open the manual backport :) |

Radio and other choice-type answers are always PHP strings, even when the option labels are pure numbers like "1"-"5".
setCellValue()wrote every string viasetValueExplicit()with the defaultTYPE_STRING, so numeric answers landed in Text-formatted cells and could not be averaged in the spreadsheet application.For XLSX/ODS, route purely numeric values through
setCellValue()so they are stored with a numeric data type. A value is only treated as numeric when it isis_numeric(), does not start with a formula-trigger character (= + - @), and round-trips exactly((string)(+$value) === $value).The round-trip guard keeps leading-zero phone numbers, scientific notation, trailing-zero decimals and oversized ids as text to avoid silent data loss, since all export values arrive as strings from
Answer::getText().The anti-formula string protection and CSV escaping are unchanged.
