Formatting numbers currency export to excel

All
I have the following SQL in my code.
select trader, tradername, billingranacc,BILLINGPREFRANACC,LASTLOGINDATE, '€' ||to_char(billingamount,'99G999D99') Amount,substr(BILLINGPREFRANACC,1,1) as "R&NLocation" from exlink_trader_import where usertype = 'Internal' and isbilled = 'Yes' and isdeleted = '0'Now the report picks up the € sign but when i export to excel it does not, can someone help with this ?

Hi stranger colleague Ben
The CSV codification is one but not the one issue that can affect the unexpected output of your report.
But if you are viewing correctly the € symbol in your report, and the automatic CSV codification is enabled, sure you are in the usual case that makes more difficult the work of foreign developers and DBAs.
Time before I resolved the wrong CSV output (“â‚ 600.00”) instead of the correct (“$ 600.00”) simply turning ON the automatic codification, but only after being managed many NLS parameters, and database character sets. We have different currency, keyboards, measure units than Americans, and have to read more chapters in documentation books. This is more pain if you are far to domain the English language!.
Ben: you are getting the wrong output using the “ '€' || to_char (billingamount, '99G999D99')” format in the query, Have you checked using “billingamount” in the query, and defining the FML99G999D99 or FMU99G999D99 format in the report column numeric attribute?, You should seen the correct € output in the CSV file although you haven’t defined the automatic codification.

Currency format problem while exporting as excel

Hi
I have to create a report for which the currency format should be $#,##0.00 and -$#,##0.00 for negative numbers.
In the text form field of rtf template, I have selected number format and removed the portion ;($#,##0.00) from $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00).When I view the report as HTML the numbers are showing in proper format.($#,##0.00 or -$#,##0.00).But when the report is exported as excel ,the negative number format changes to ($#,##0.00) in red color.
Can anyone tell me how avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance
Naveen

I think this is an Excel issue - you can right mouse click in Excel the column header and "Format Cells>Text"
You could also append a ' character to your numbers in BI Answers ie: '6035784010491980 which should give you the correct format in Excel.
eg. CONCAT( '''', CAST ( '6035784010491980 AS CHAR) )
There is also an MS Office plug in available for OBIEE this may give you further options.

Negative numbers in export to excel

Hi,
We have two servers, one (X) without SP1 and the other (Y) with SP1.
When I make export to excel in X, the negative numbers sometimes saved as @ or the actual negative number (e.g. -42), in both cases it is saved as text.
The positive numbers are saved as numbers.
We saw that SAP fixed it in SP1, we tried it on Y, we got that the negative numbers always show (e.g. -42), but all the numbers, positive and negative are saved as text.
We need to see all the actual numbers(without @), and to be saved as numbers (so we can make calculations on them).
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.

I am on SP1 and noticed that sometimes they are saved as numbers and some are texts:
So I am not sure of any logic or what is going on.
Maybe as a work around you could format everything to numbers so you can do the calculation?

Formatting lost when exported to excel

When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

Why was formatting removed from Export to Excel when exporting from PWA 2013?

We have recently moved from using Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2013 and one thing that we have noticed is that when we Export to Excel all the formatting has been removed and all the task grouping and alignment has been flatted.
Why did Microsoft remove this feature from the Project Server 2013?
Is there an easy way for anywhere there is an Export to Excel option on the Ribbon to add the formatting back?
What is the best solution to still retain the indents, bolding, and grouping?

Jason --
I can confirm your findings with exporting PWA pages in Project Server 2013 to Excel. As to why Microsoft removed the feature previously found in Project Server 2007, I have no idea, as I do not work for Microsoft. I do not believe there is any
way to force the Export to Excel feature to work the same in 2013 as it did in 2007. I think it will be up to the user to format the exported Excel workbook as needed. Hope this helps.

Yeah.. crystal has giving some issues while exporting reports without SPs, especialy previous versions.
So Better to install latest SP or patches for CR 10.0. I think SP 6 is the updated one for CR10.0.
For More info Go through this link,

Error in totals format when I export to excel

Hi.
I export a table report with totals to excel, when I open this file, the format of totals fields is text, not number.

Hi
You probably had some wording in the total line such as SUM or TOTAL. When this is exported, Excel is unable to format that column as a number. Try removing all labels from the totals and see if this helps.
I hope this helps

Hyperlink in Numbers acts strange when exported to Excel

Hello All,
I'm having a problem with hyperlinks. In Numbers, I'm linking to an mp3 audio file on the internet. This works perfectly, you click on the song title hyperlink, Safari opens and the song plays/streams right in the browser window.
When I export the Numbers file as an Excel document, the hyperlink still works but the mp3 is displayed as a text file within Safari (miles of random text). I would like it to play in the browser like it does in Numbers.
Also, when exporting to other formats, like .pdf, the file plays in the browser just like in Numbers.
So, what is Excel doing to the link that makes Safari react to the file differently? Should I be typing in the link differently in Excel? I already tried html (href="www.blah.com").
Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated!
Warren

Excel often gives me problems with hyperlinks. I made a test of a link to an mp3 in a Number table. One cell was the hyperlink, another used the HYPERLINK function. Both worked flawlessly in Numbers. Both opened as text from Excel, just as you saw.
I created an Excel document (using Excel) and pasted in the same link. It, too, opened it as a text file.
I used "Insert Hyperlink" in Excel to create the hyperlink. Same thing.
Looks to be an Excel problem, not one related to Numbers or exporting to Excel.

Export to excel formatting

I'm working on a quote report which has narrative sections as well as a table. I can get the report to look great in the application but it has formatting problems once exported to excel.
In one of my narrative reports I have a simple table with a few columns. Once exported to excel the first narrative column is the entire width of the report table below it. The large cell row is also merged cells in excel.
Is there anything that can be done to help force how the report goes into excel?
I have also tried creating the report in a narrative html table to export into excel.

Can someone explain if they face similar issues as I am when you export a report output on portal to Excel it takes huge size. I assume it because of all the color formatting etc. but is there a way to reduce this size. 3.5 Bex Analyzer same report takes only 3 MB while if I export it from portals it takes 32 MB.
