Export as Excel Issues

In my short time playing around with Filemaker I've run into an issue with the "Export to Excel" script step. The problem with exporting directly to Excel is that when you open the file it displays all of the information as text, regardless of whether the field contains numbers or dates. The only way to fix this is to actually go into the define fields setup and define each column as the correct number format and then enter EACH CELL BY HAND to apply the changes.

Is this an issue that anybody else is running into with using the Export as Excel step?
