String Field Type is Converting to Custom Field Type When Exporting CSV File to Excel

$

Good morning,

 

I'm hoping someone can help me out here.  I have a column in Alteryx formatted as String which has values such as 10050-00, 11866-00, 138-00, 10-00, 3-00, etc.

 

Basically, when I output the CSV file into Excel, it will change 10-00 to Oct-00 and 5-00 to Mar-00 in a Custom Excel format instead of a General format like the others.  Is there a workaround in Alteryx in order to prevent this from happening when the data is output?  Here is my formula I'm currently using in Alteryx for this field:

 

 iif( ([Bar #]) = "UNASSIGNED", "",  ToString([Bar #]) + "-00")

 

Thanks!
