Exporting to CSV, a number field is changing formats. I have it excluding the decimals places and commas.
Can anyone help? I am using version 10.

If you are exporting to Excel, it may be Excel that is changing the number format.
you could totext , but then Excel will treat it as text and not as a number.
May not be what you want.

Web app Number field: How to format a number as currency in Business catalyst

Not a coder. I have a Number field I have created in my web app, please how can I format this field to display the figures like this 999,999,999,999 (#120,000,000) random figure. Help will be appreciated.

You can't. Number type field is there for storing integers. 999,999,999,999
is not an integer. You need to use text string. Unless you're using the
field inside the search form, in which case you need to use JavaScript to
format the content of the field on the frontend.

Problem with number-fields in csv-Export-Files

Hello,
the export with the csv option works fine and our users like this export-function.
But Unfortunatelly we have some problems with the exported number fields. In my region I defined the field with a format mask.
On the screen it looks fine but when I change to csv the values are exported as text-values.
So in excel the columns are shown with left alignment.
When I try to change the format in excel to number, excel change the column type but not the value inside.
On this account we cannot use the sum-function and the display of the value is wrong (alignment).
Which possibilities do I have to resolve that problem?
Thanks in advance

I have the same issue - Anyone any ideas on how to export currency values in a report to excel as numbers?

Problem in export Number field into graphical reports

I have a custom field Number1.
I put a decimal number (italian version) 0,5
I use Number1 inside Cost1...to make some calculations, so the number format I see that is correct.
I use Number1 as dimension into a graphical report (to excel file).
Into the pivot of the excel the Number1 has the "," character converted to a underscore "_"
So 0,5 become 0_5
0,1 become 0_1
I need the correct format into excel because I have to do other calculations.
thank you.
MS Project 2013 and MS Excel 2010. Both italian version.

Hi Daniele,
How do you do your Excel export? Saving the file in a XLS format or creating a visual report?
A workaround would be to write a simple macro in your Excel file:
Sub test()
Cells.Replace What:="_", Replacement:=",", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub
But before trying this, let's try to debug your export.
Hope this helps,

Change separator for export into .csv

Hi!
I'd like to change the separator to be "|" instead of "," but the drop down list I can find in "options" is greyed out.
Why can't I change the separator for export into csv-files?
Or is there a dependency I didn't realize?
Regards,
Walter
PS: just updated to SQL Developer 3.1

You should use the delimited format to change the separator, it's the same as the CSV format, just the name changes.

BOM change number field is compulsory

Hi Guys,
I need to setup BOM (CS02) change number entry field is compulsory (using TCode CS02). How to setup config settings? pls advise
Thanks,
Sankaran

Dear Muthusamy,
Even if you have maintained settings in OS27,In T code CS02 ,the system allows
you to change the BOM without a change number.
The same question was posted by Mr.Anbalagan ,3 days before.
The follwing are the answers which I posted to him,check this under post thread name ECR Number
If you want to make Change number field as mandatory for CS02,u have to do it
using the authorisation object.For certain users you can make this as an
mandatory field ,just discuss with Basis & ABAP consultants,they can help out
you in this regard.
Though you might have done settings perfectly in OS27,OS54,but the system
allows you to change a BOM without any change number.
Answer2:

Plz make this Authorization Object C_STUE_NOH as mandatory for T code CS02.
I'm sure BASIS & ABAP consultant can help you in this regard.
I have checked in my system for certain users,like without change number it doesnt allow to change BOM,
So after giving SU53,I found the authorization obeject C_STUE_NOH was missing.
So go ahead in using this object.
answer3:
You can make that field in CS02 as a mandatory for certain users,using a field
exit.
Field name AENNR -Change number can be made as mandatory .
Plz explain the case to ABAP consultant.
First in SE37 he will be checking whether this particular field AENNR has got a field exit.
Later on he will be writing some codes to make this field as mandatory.
This is what i wanted to convey to u.
In my project ,for the core users the field has been made mandatory,so in CS02,he/she cant go inside without giving the change number.
At that time when u give SU53,this authorisation object will be found not given.
So just have a word with the ABAP consultant,he can help u.
Reward points if useful.

How Can I Change Format Mask For All Fields that type's Number Depend on Parameter in Report Builder 10g ?

I want Change format mask for all fields that type's number
Such as
if :parameter_value = 1 then
all fields format mask = ' 999,999,990.000' ;
else
all fields format mask = ' 999,999,990.00' ;
end if;

So, i have bad news for you : you'll have to rebuild again.
Meanwhile i have excellent news for you : there's an online tool made by Johannes Henseler called Sidecar xml which builds the necessary xml file for you, sort of what you find in the Digital Publishing Folio Editor website, but saves it in your Folio folder.
Next time you import all your folder (with that file), it will place all the necessary information, and even reorder the articles.
Build once, play many times.

Ssrs 2008 export to csv file display issue

In a new SSRS 2008 report, I would like to know if there is a way to automatically expand the width of some of the rows when the data is exported to a CSV file so the data is displayed correctly. Here are examples that I am referring to:
1. In one column where there is suppose to be a date that looks like 12/11/2014, the value of ########## is displayed. The value of 12/11/2014 is what is setup in the SSRS formatting option.
2. In a number field that is suppose to look like 6039267049 the value that is displayed is 6E+09.
Basically if I manually expand the width of the columns that I am referring to above, the data is displayed correctly. Thus can you tell me what I can do so that the data is disaplayed correctly in the CSV file and ther user does not need to manually expand
the column to see the data?

Hi wendy,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it when use Excel to open the csv file. As per my understanding, there is no width when we export the report to csv, Excel is just using the default cell sizes when we open the csv. So when
a date value is wider than the default cell size, it would be displayed as ##########. When a number value is wider than the default cell size, it would use Scientific format.
As to the date value, we can use the expression =cstr(Fields!Date.Value) to replace the former one =Fields!Date.Value. In this way, the width of the value is narrower than the default cell size, so that the date value can be displayed correctly. For the
number value, it already narrow down the width with Scientific format. Or we can Select all the cells in the csv file, then click Format| AutoFit Column Width to change all the cells width to fit its corresponding values in Excel level.
Besides, we can try to export to excel instead of csv. Excel format can inherit the column width in the report. So in this way, we can directly change the width to fit the values in Reporting Services level.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Exporting to Excel causes compounded field to be divided

I have a report with compounded fields of plant and manager (ex. 3350/200). When I attempt to export to Excel, it is treated as a division and it displays 16.75 instead. I've changed a couple of settings under Tools/Options and Query Properties in both Excel and BEx query designer, but it does not change it. I also tried to export as CSV. This works, but not without doing a lot of manual manipulations to the file and I'm trying to come up with a clean process for my users. I have not found any info in the OSS Notes. Has anyone seen this issue, or has any suggestions of what else I can try? Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Try to download as CSV and open again in excel, i think it will work. Or
Format the perticular field as TEXT and try to down load.
Or in report try to replace the perticular charachter"/" with "_" and download.
Hope it Helps

10g exporting to CSV using client_text_io is not working correctly.

I have an odd issue which i could do with some help with. I run an function that exports to CSV based on an pre defined record group.
This has been working fine for many months with various customers. Recently a new customer used it and they have 28k rows in his record group and the export is actually not exporting correctly.
The record group has a record count of 28331.
The CSV produced has only 3756 in my CSV file. These are the last 3756 records in the Record group so its as if its overwriting the data as it goes yet all smaller datasets work
FUNCTION fun_export_csv (vgraphid NUMBER, p_filename VARCHAR2)RETURN BOOLEAN IS

client_text_io.put(out_file, lv_line);
client_text_io.new_line(out_file,1);
For i in 1..get_group_row_count('RG11_EXP') Loop--this count is 28331

client_text_io.new_line(out_file,1);

Hello,
Try to insert a "synchronize" instruction from time to time:
i pls_integer := 1;
Loop
If mod(i, 500) = 0 Then
 synchronize;
End if ;
i := i + 1 ;
End loop;
...But keep in mind the the CLIENT_TEXT_IO generate a lot of network traffic, so it is better and faster to generate the file on the A.S., then after transfer it to the client machine.

Address Book/iSync - email addresses moving to phone number fields

I'm not sure what is causing this, but I'm noticing that email addresses in my cards are moving to phone number fields. I originally thought this had something to do with cards that had no phone number in them, only an email address, but now I"m realizing that's not the case.
I fixes all cards last night and just a minute ago, when I was in Address Book I noticed some or all of the email addresses had moved again. I reverted to my backup from last night and it fixed things, but I'm wondering what's going to cause those addresses to move again.
I do use iSync to sync my AB contacts to my Motorola phone (I think I have it set up where it's one way, computer to phone) and I have Entourage that's using my AB contacts to populate its address book.
Any thoughts about what in my environment is causing this?
-John

Thank you for the suggestion. I did this, but noticed that some cards were still messed up. So I reverted back to a clean copy of my address book from last night. Then I went to iSync and synchronized with my Motorola phone. That's when iSync says that it's going to modify over 5% of my contacts in AB (122) at which point I said okay. Problem appears to be that the cards it modifies is random.
Now to make matters worse, it appears that if I repeat this process over and over (revert, iSync, look through cards), there is no pattern to which cards are changing. I don't even know how to troubleshoot this. I'd love make iSync go one way - computer to phone - so that the phone can never write information to the computer. Is that possible?
I'm sure this needs to go to a different section...

After installed SP1 for SQL Server 2012, can no longer export to csv

After installing SP1 today via Windows Update, I am no longer able to export data to csv using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. I get the following error message:
"Column information for the source and the destination data could not be retrieved, or the data types of source columns were not mapped correctly to those available on the destination provider."
"Column "col1": Source data type "200" was not found in the data type mapping file."...
(The above line repeats for each column)
The work-around I have to do is to manually map each column in the "Edit Mappings..." option from the "Configure Flat File Destination" page of the wizard. This is an extreme inconvenience to have to have to edit the mappings and change
each column to "string [DT_STR]" type from "byte stream [DT_BYTES]" type each time I want to export to csv. I did not have to do this before installing SP1; it worked perfectly for months with hundreds of exports prior to this update and
no need to modify mapping.

I am running Windows 7 64-bit, SQL Server 2012 Express edition. Again, just yesterday from Windows Update, I installed SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2674319), followed by Update Rollup for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (KB2793634). This situation was
not occurring before these updates were installed, and I noticed it immediately after they were installed (and of course I restarted my computer after the updates).
In SSMS I just now created a test DB and table to provide a step-by-step with screenshots.
Here is the code I ran to create the test DB and table:
CREATE DATABASE testDB;
GO
USE testDB;
GO
CREATE TABLE testTable
id int,
lname varchar(50),
fname varchar(50),
address varchar(50),
city varchar(50),
state char(2),
dob date
GO
INSERT INTO testTable VALUES
(1,'Smith','Bob','123 Main St.','Los Angeles','CA','20080212'),
(2,'Doe','John','555 Rainbow Ln.','Chicago','IL','19580530'),
(3,'Jones','Jane','999 Somewhere Pl.','Washington','DC','19651201'),
(4,'Jackson','George','111 Hello Cir.','Dallas','TX','20010718');
GO
SELECT * FROM testTable;
Results look good:
id   lname   fname   address   city   state   dob
1   Smith   Bob   123 Main St.   Los Angeles   CA   2008-02-12
2   Doe   John   555 Rainbow Ln.   Chicago   IL   1958-05-30
3   Jones   Jane   999 Somewhere Pl.   Washington   DC   1965-12-01
4   Jackson   George   111 Hello Cir.   Dallas   TX   2001-07-18
In Object Explorer, I right-click on the [testDB] database, choose "Tasks", then "Export Data..." and the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard appears. I click Next to leave all settings as-is on the "Choose a Data Source" page, then on the "Choose a Destination"
page, under the "Destination" drop-down I choose "Flat File Destination" then browse to the desktop and name the file "table_export.csv" then click Next. On the "Specify Table Copy or Query" page I choose "Write a query to specify the data to transfer" then
click Next. I type the following SQL statement:
SELECT * FROM testTable;
When clicking the "Parse" button I get the message "This SQL statement is valid."
On to the next page, "Configure Flat File Destination" I try leaving the defaults then click Next. This is where I am getting the error message (see screenshot below):
Then going to the "Edit Mappings..." option on the "Configure Flat File Destination" page, I see that all columns which were defined as varchar in the table are showing as type "byte stream [DT_BYTES]", size "0", the state column which is defined as char(2)
shows correctly however with type "string [DT_STR]", size "2" (see screenshow below):
So what I have to do is change the type for the lname, fname, address and city columns to "string [DT_STR]", then I am able to proceed with the export successfully. Again, this just started happening after installing these updates. As you can imagine, this
is very frustrating, as I do a lot of exports from many tables, with a lot more columns than this test table.
Thanks for your help.
