How to keep leading Zeros in a CSV file

Hi All -
I am trying to keep leading zeros in CSV file. Ex. I need 00001 but not just 1. I tried formatting the cells but not getting saved. Any advise please.
Thanks.

Dear Super Man  ,
Try using ALPHA Conversion Routine
ALPHA Conversion Routine
The ALPHA conversion is used in the BW system for each presetting for character characteristics. The ALPHA conversion routine is registered automatically when a characteristic is created. If you do not want to use this routine, you have to remove it manually.
The ALPHA conversion routine is used, for example, with account numbers or document numbers

  • How to keep leading zeros using SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT

    my leading zeros  drop when download using FM-SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT, how to fix it?

    Hi,
    You can try as below.
    Let's for the 10 digit numeric field, using the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT, you can get the 10 digit number with leading zeroes.
    Now if you declare the char of 10 in length field in the internal table will be replaced with the above value.
    Now it will be downloaded as required.

  • Export jsp content to Excel -- how to keep leading zero?

    Hi:
    I am trying to export a JSP content to Excel by using

  • How to keep leading zeros in numeric Keynote entries?

    When I try to enter numbers that start with zeroes in a table, Keynote removes the zeroes. For instance, I type 007 and it gets "corrected" to 7. Also, for instance, when i type false in lower case, it gets changed to FALSE.
    How do I stop this? I found the Auto-correction tab in Preferences, but everything is unchecked there except for the things that deal with email and hyperlink underlining.

    Ok, naturally I found it after I posted the question. I go to Table in the inspector window and change Cell Format from Automatic to Text.

  • Convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros..

    Hi,
    I hope you can help?
    How to convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros
    I read 002C, hex, and I want to convert it to 0044 decimal.
    sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum); will only give me 44.
    It have been working up till I started to get leading zeros.
    We will always have a 4 digit hex input in a range
    We must have the leading 00 in this case.
    How is this best done?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    I don't really understand your problem. Is this stuff what you need ?
    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    const char MyNum[] = "002C";
    int DecNum;
    sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum);
    printf ("%04d", DecNum);
    getchar ();
    return 0;
    "0044" appears on standard output when printf function executes...

  • Help keeping leading zero String- Long

    Hello
    I wonder lets say I have a String "09090" how do I convert this String to a Long and keeping leading zero so the Long is 09090?
    /D_S

    Numeric types like Long (or long) are numbers, not strings, so they have no formatting notions like leading zeroes. If you want to maintain the string "09090" keep the string around, even if you have to parse it as well. By the way, you forgot to describe what your goal is, what you are trying to do and what it has to do with leading zeroes.
    One more: Why does this print false?
    System.out.println(07070 == 7070);Hint: this generates a compile-time error:
    System.out.println(09090 == 9090);

  • How to remove leading zero from Material Number

    Is there any setting in query desinger to handle this issure or in the backend.
    Need your inputs.
    Thanks,
    Lasya.

    Hi
    you can use the function Module
    CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT in the start routine
    to test this go to SE37  --- give the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT -
    >display -
    > F8
    in the input give 000000456
    and execute
    the out put will be 456
    for getting Zeros you can use
    CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT--- to remove leading zeros

  • How to remove leading zeros from variable

    hi,
       how to remove leading zeros from variable like it_vbap-matnr.
    value in it_vbap-matnr is 000000000000000358
    i want to remove leading zeros so that it become 358
    regards
    deepak

    You can use Function Module <b>'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'</b>
    This Function Module will eliminate leading Zeros.
    For each MATNR Value read form DB Table,u can eliminate Leading zeros and then modify ur Internal table.
    I think u will not get leading Zeros into utr Internal table when u read from VBAP.
    Bcoz MATNR in VBAP itself have Conversion routine.
    If u r getting leading zeros,U can use following Logic.
    tables:
      vbap.
    data:
       t_vbap like standard table of vbap.
    select matnr
    from vbap
    into corresponding fields of table t_vbap.
    loop at t_vbap into vbap.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'
          EXPORTING
            INPUT         =  vbap-matnr
          IMPORTING
            OUTPUT        =  vbap-matnr
      modify t_vbap from vbap transporting matnr.
    endloop.
    Hope this will work.....

  • How to delimit leading zero in vendor number in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine

    Hi,
    How to delimit leading zero in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine, because I have many fields like vendor, customer, material number etc..
    How to address this leading zero.
    I appreciate your quick response.
    Regards,
    Nalini S.

    Hi Nalini,
    Delimiting leading zeros in fields has to be done via conversion routines, as suggested by Vadamalai you need to pass on the conversion routine name in you field catalog variable.
    Now as to which object oriented approach are you using to have your table contents display in ALV as it matters  -
    Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE class, or
    Using SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class.
    Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE will do your own work, no need to apply any conversion routines or set long/medium/short text for columns as we do in field catalogs!

  • How to download leading zeros from internal table to XL file

    Hi,
    i am dowanloading data from interna table to XL file using GUI_DOWNLOAD FM. i want download the leading zeros  also into xl file
    EX: 012345
    at present only "12345" is down loading into XL file. But i want "012345" into XL file.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    Can you try with DBF format(Pass FILETYPE = 'DBF'? I remember that in this format data will be downloaded in database storage format. Just check and update if it works!!!
    This is what FM documentation says.
    'DBF' :
    The data is downloaded in dBase format. With this format, the data types are stored as well, For this reason, import problems can be avoided - for example, problems with Microsoft Excel. In particular, you can avoid problems with the interpretation of numeric values.
    Thanks,

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

    hello everybody,
    I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
    Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
    So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
    Thank you in advance.
    cheers,
    shima

    Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
    Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
    Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
    Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
    DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
    Once done click 'Insert'

  • Keeping leading zeroes in flat file

    I am loading data from a flat file to a DSO.
    One of the columns in the flat file is data type CHAR with a length of two. The data values will be either 01, 02 or 03.
    When I load the data, the leading zeroes are dropped. Thus, I see 1, 2 and 3 in my DSO. How can I prevent this happening?

    Hi,
    Right Click on that column in Excel file and Formate Cells >Custome> Under Type give "00" and then give the values in column like 01 , 02 .... and save as .csv and close it, immediatly load it, DON"T OPEN FILE, because , if you open it will reset to 1, 2... SO again you need to Right click.....and formare cells..
    Thanks
