LabVIEW to Excel - decimal separator issue

I'm using a VI to copy a LabVIEW table to Excel
http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/170/125802/1/Write_Table_and_Chart_to_XL.llb
My system uses the comma as a standard decimal separator. Despite changing the LabVIEW settings the table I generate uses a decimal point. When I copy the data values smaller than one are copied correctly, but values > 1 are recognized as the value times a million.
0,9 is still 0,9 but 1,34 is 1340000
Is there any way to resolve this issue
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I ran your VI and everything looks fine for me!!
I get the attached table when I ran the code.
Are you using any non-english keybord? or is there any default settings in Excel with formatted cells?
Iam using LV8.5, and I changed the range property's value to Value2 in Set Cell Value.vi (since it had a broken arrow)

Crystal reports decimal separator issue

Post Author: Ramco
CA Forum: General
In crystal reports XI and crystal reports XI R2 decimal separator is not changing according to regional setting. In report designer we have formated the field display style to "System Default Number format" and changed the regional settings to German(123.345.678,90).Still it is displaying the English(United States) format (123,345,678.90).Note: It is working fine in standalone applications.Problem is only with the web based appications.

ODI-HFM issue with decimal separator

Hi all,
We are extracting data from an HFM application A and loading into an HFM application B.
Example:
Data extracted from applicaiton A = 21.742.139,55
Data loaded to application B (verified from Explore Data and Smart View) = 2.174.213.955,00
Is data loading with ODI-HFM taking the regional settings?
Any suggestions?
If we extract data with HFM Client (logged on with the same user configured in HFM Data server) from application A and load it into application B, data is correct in application B.
Current configuration is:
- User preferences for HFM Application A
     * Decimal separator = ","
     * Thousands separator = "."
- User preferences for HFM Application B
     * Decimal separator = ","
     * Thousands separator = "."
- Regional settings of the server where the agent is running (English US)
     * Decimal separator = "."
     * Thousands separator = ","
This setting is the same for all HFM application servers
- ODI Datastore HFMDatastore
     * Decimal separator set to "," (this setting was changed to see if solved the issue)
- ODI Datastore for staging table
     * Decimal separator set to "," (this setting was changed to see if solved the issue)
- Language Settings for DB (American English)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Pls Use This
    For Decimal Separator other than . we need to Code to Convert , See This Code Below and Do the Code
Private Function ReturnQty(ByVal Qty As String) As String
Dim strQty As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strSeprtr As String
Dim objRS As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT ThousSep FROM OADM"
Set objRS = oSBC.oDICompany.GetBusinessObject(BoRecordset)
objRS.DoQuery (strSQL)
If Not objRS.EOF Then
        strSeprtr = objRS.Fields.Item("ThousSep").Value
End If
If strSeprtr = "," Then
ReturnQty = Qty
ElseIf strSeprtr = "'" And Len(Qty) <= 6 Then
Qty = Replace(Qty, ",", ".")
'Qty = Replace(Qty, ",", ".")
ReturnQty = Qty
Qty = Qty
ElseIf strSeprtr = "'" Then
Qty = Replace(Qty, "'", "")
'Qty = Replace(Qty, ",", ".")
ReturnQty = Qty
Qty = Qty
ElseIf strSeprtr = "." And Len(Qty) <= 6 Then
Qty = Replace(Qty, ".", ",")
Qty = Replace(Qty, ",", ".")
ReturnQty = Qty
ElseIf strSeprtr = "." Then
Qty = Replace(Qty, ".", "")
Qty = Replace(Qty, ",", ".")
ReturnQty = Qty
End If
End Function

Project in dutch language, but use a point as decimal separator (not comma)

I am working with Haley v9.4.1.71.
I am preparing a demo for coming wednesday in which I want Haleys to work together with Siebel. I have now ran in to a problem for which I can’t find the solution. I have made the rules in the Dutch language wich all works fine. As it seems it also uses the dutch format for numbers, this means that the decimal separator is a comma instead of a point. Siebel however, requires the decimal separator to be a (point).
Data delivered from Haleys to Siebel is in the current situation therefore converted incorrectly.
My question is:
How can I keep the dutch language, but use the point as a decimal separator (instead of the comma).
Thing I have tried already:
- Configure the file hi-servlet.properties with the Haley Interactive Configuration Tool
The ‘Application Output Numeric Format’ is #,###,###,##0.###############
This looks correct, but still in the User Interface the comma is used as the decimal separator.
- Set the Windows Regional and Language Options (Tab Regional Options) to English(United States) and customized the Decimal symbol to a point.
- I have also looked in the Folder C:\Program Files\Haley\Office Rules 2008\Language\Dutch but couldn’t find specific settings for the comma separator
I hope you can help me solve this issue.
Sake Kampen

Thank you for the reply.
The problem to upgrading to v10 is that we make use of a OPA <-> Siebel integration developed by the local Dutch Oracle pre-sales team. And I don't know if we can replicate what Oracle has done for us if we upgrade.
But the problem I'm having doesnt lie with the connection but with OPA itself, in OPA the decimal separator is a comma where I want it to be a point. This problem only exists when I create a Dutch project, when I create an English project (on the same windows environment with the same regional settings) the decimal separator is a point.
I have advanced a little bit, but I’m not quite there yet.
Haleys seems to use the Regional settings of Windows.
The regional settings of my Windows-installation was English, so I temporarily went to Dutch to see what the settings were there. Ofcourse the numberformatting was in the dutch way with a comma as the decimal separator. So I changed this to a point and clicked ‘Apply’. Then I changed the language back to English and clicked ‘Apply’.
In Haleys the same error persisted.
So I went back to the regional settings of windows, and there I went back to dutch (English was still selected) and saw to my surprise that the ‘corrected’ decimal separator for dutch was set back to its default.
So I changed it again to a point and now kept the dutch regional setting, and tested Haleys again. The behaviour of Haleys then changed. But surprisingly the decimal signs are now deleted.
e.g.:
a value derived from a table in excel is transformed as follows
in Excel: 28.5 ==> in Haleys: 285
Provided by user in Haleys: 543.1234 ==> shown in Haleys summary screen 5.431.234
I can provide decimal numbers and they seem to be accepted, but if I show them in the summary screen (using the%%) I see that every number is rounded to a whole one in the way described above.
Are you certain this is a known issue that has been adressed in Haleys 10?

Decimal Separator in SELECT Clause

Hi
I have the following decimal format parameters:
SQL> select value
2 from v$nls_parameters
3 where parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
VALUE
If I show a number with decimal I get a comma as the decimal separator
SQL> select 10/100 from dual;
10/100
,1
But if I use a decimal separator in the SELECT clause I get:
SQL> select 100 * 1,1 from dual;
100*1 1
100 1
It doesn't work. But using a period as the decimal separator works:
SQL> select 1.1 * 100 from dual;
1.1*100
110
Maybe this is something I've never had to deal with before but I thought that the numeric format applied to the sql results and also the numbers that you used in the sql clauses.
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Hi,Néstor,
user594312 wrote:
... I thought that the numeric format applied to the sql results and also the numbers that you used in the sql clauses.No; it applies to results, and it can affect implicit conversions, but it doesn't apply to SQL code.
The period (or dot, '.') is always the decimal separator in numeric literals. There is no way to change that.
Think how confusing it would be if it did apply to SQL code! For example:
WHERE   num_col IN (1,2)Are we comparing num_col to 1 value or 2 values? Whichever it is, what if we wanted to do the opposite?
If you really wanted to use comma as the decimal separator, you could have to use strings, not numbers, and that could be a lot less efficient.
For example:
SELECT 100 * TO_NUMBER ('1,1')    -- This assumes your NLS settings are correct
FROM    dual;Of course, efficiency won't be an issue when you're selecting 1 row from dual.

Using comma (,) as a decimal separator

I know this isn't the right place to ask, but I cant get excel to use comma as a decimal separator.
All is set up right in system preferences and I still cant get it to work in excel.
So Im asking if any one know how to make the comma to be used for the decimal numbers and dot for thousands.
Or if any one can explain this to me, or better do it for me.

Illustrator Graphs; Add totals to a column design; Need , (comma) as decimal separator

Hi all
I am editing a German Annual Report.
I live in Australia.
My system runs OS X 10.10.2 and my Adobe Suite CC is English (or Australian, if that does make a difference in some library)
I need to create a bunch of columns and bar graphs.
The label next to a single column or bar is taken automatically from the data spread.
The decimal separator in the data spread is a . (full stop, or dot)
I need it do display a comma on the final graph. This is standard in many European languages.
If I enter a comma in the data spread Illustrator refuses to draw a graph for this value.
How can I do this?
Regards
Romano

Thank you Jacob
I have to play with this and see what happens if I open data with , as a separator at a later stage.
Also I got lots of clients on the go at all times. I can not change my OS settings for this and then unwittingly create a problem on other clients files.
I am looking at solving this for a specific client on a specific project. Also the files may be edited at the clients site (in Switzerland [Swiss German System]) at a later stage.
I just sent them a test file and they tell me the separator is still a . when they open and edit the data.
If it is in deed a OS issue... ...that should change the moment the edit the graph me thinks...

The communication of LabView on Excel is unstable.

After the rearrangement of Windows 2000 to Windows XP the communication of LabVIEW on Excel is unstable. I write an Array from LabVIEW to Excel.
Only zeros arrive in Excel mostly, however.
It works from time to time.

If you can please post a code snippet, it would be useful. I have
not had any issues with LabVIEW 7.1.1 and Excel XP(2002) or 2003

How to change the local decimal separator on windows xp OS ?

Hi all,
I would like to known how to change programmatically with LV8.5 the local decimal separator ? I want to force this parameter to the point separator, so to be sure that it's not the comma (if it's the comma when installing the executable, the ascii files are not read properly).
Thanks.

Hi Wilfried,
you can use the format code "%.;" to get points as decimal separator in each string formatting function.
This is the important one. Put it at the beginning of every format specifier!
Some functions have a boolean control 'use local decimator' make sure this is 'F'

Trinidad-config.xml, number-grouping-separator and decimal-separator

Hi,
According to my application locale, numbers are formatted as 1.234,56
Now I want numbers to be formatted the US flavour: 1,234.56
Here is my trinidad-config.xml file contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<trinidad-config xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/config">
<skin-family>mySkin</skin-family>
<number-grouping-separator>,</number-grouping-separator>
<decimal-separator>.</decimal-separator>
</trinidad-config>
The file above is declared in the web.xml file (although I'm not pretty sure this is really necessary):
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/trinidad-config.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
And an example of a numerical input text:
<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.Salary.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.EmployeesView3.hints.Salary.label}"
required="#{bindings.EmployeesView3.hints.Salary.mandatory}" columns="#{bindings.EmployeesView3.hints.Salary.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.EmployeesView3.hints.Salary.precision}" shortDesc="#{bindings.EmployeesView3.hints.Salary.tooltip}"
id="it5">
<f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.Salary.validator}"/>
<af:convertNumber pattern="#{bindings.EmployeesView3.hints.Salary.format}" />
</af:inputText>
Where the pattern is set at Entity Object level: Employees EO > Salary attribute > UI Hints > Format: #,##0.00
But it doesn't work. I don't know what I'm missing... Please, help!
JDev 11.1.1.3.0

Hello. With my application locale, numbers are formatted as 1234,56
But i need 1 234.56 format.
To achieve this, I use trinidad-config.xml, that contains few options:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
<trinidad-config xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/config">
<skin-family>mySkin</skin-family>
<number-grouping-separator> </number-grouping-separator>
<decimal-separator>.</decimal-separator>
</trinidad-config>
On my page i use af:outputText with af:convertNumber as shown below:
<af:outputText value="1234567,890" id="ot2">
<af:convertNumber currencySymbol="USD" minFractionDigits="2"
groupingUsed="true" type="currency"
maxFractionDigits="2"/>
</af:outputText>
Output: *1 234 567,89 USD*
Why decimal separator hasn't changed?
Byt the way. With convertNumber type "percent" output will be *1 234 567.89%*

Is it possible to export a histogram from labview to excel

Hi achfire,
The LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit allows you to create different graphs in Microsoft Excel, including Bar Graphs. Check out the Report Generation Toolkit section of the White Paper below for more information. I've also linked to a section of the Report Generation Toolkit Help document which gives more details on the different types of graphs you can export.

Both applications are same and in both applications Application Primary Language globalization attribute is set to Croatian (hr) but I'm getting different decimal and group separators.
Querying v$nls_parameters view I saw that, in first case NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameters are set same on database and apex ('.,') but in second case they are different. On database is '.,' but on apex application ',.'
Why?
Please help!

Multiple plots in one graph (LabVIEW to Excel)

Hi All-
Reference this initial discussion: https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Place-Multiple-Data-Sets-on-One-Graph-LabVIEW-to-Excel/td-p/2164380
Problem description: Generated multiple 2D arrays with different x-axis and y-axis values cannot be placed into ONE excel graph (looking for LabVIEW solution).
We tried several options. 1) Coercing the data to have the same x-axis works in the sense that I get a graph (of the multiple data sets) but the graph is bogus since the x-values are different enough that the graph isn't correct. (This was suggested in the referenced post). The x-values are output power and y-values are efficiency. 2) We can feed the x-values and y-values into a bundle element and wire the output into a waveform graph element which works great but again the output needs to be fed into excel. (also suggested by the reference post). 3) Lastly, we tried using the Excel Update Graph.vi but unfortunately we were only able to plot the last data set because it looks like the graph gets updated on each loop run and ultimately we only get the last data set. 4) As a final effort we tried looking into the sub.vi but that didn't get us any closer to x-values and y-values plotted in excel with LabVIEW generated data.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
You attempted to invoke nodes? Add a invoke node of the waveform graph, so this add data to excel. There are several types of invoke nodes that can be used, such as invoke node "Export data to Excel" or the invoke node "Export data to excel Plot".

Labview into excel file

hello...i'm using labview 8.5 for my final year project..can i convert the graph in the labview into excel file by using this labview version? please...help me....ahaksss
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you just want the data, then this may be an option (I'm assuming this works in LV 8.5):
Right click the graph, and select Export -> Export Data to Excel
You need to have Excel on your computer to get this option.
Other options:
o Save your data to a file using Comma (or Tab) Delimited values - open file in Excel
o Use Report Generator functions to create an Excel file
