Leading zeroes are being suppressed in excel output

I have a template that prints our item number field. This field is alpha-numeric, but sometimes it is all numeric with leading zeroes. I have it defined as a text field in my template. It prints correctly (with the leading zeroes) in the PDF output, but it suppresses the leading zeros in the excel output. Is there any way to stop it from doing this - I want it to be a text field.

Thanks. That sort of works. In the excel output, it is truncating the field after the first 4 digits even though the length is defined as 'unlimited'. In the PDF output, it prints the double quotes around the field.

Leading zeros are removed when uploading excel

Hi All,
I have created a program to send an email with an excel attachment but the leading zero's in excel are removed. can anybody suggest what can be done other than replace since that exceeds 255chars so i cant concatenate.

Hi
Try adding the character ' (single quote) before the actual value. Excel then treats the value as-is whithout conversion
character type for columns
data: h_columns        TYPE ole2_object,
      h_cell           TYPE ole2_object.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Columns' = h_columns
EXPORTING
    #1 = 'F:K'.
set property of h_columns 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Cells' = h_cell
EXPORTING
    #1 = 14
    #2 = 7.
SET PROPERTY OF h_cell 'Value' = '0001'.

Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel

Hi Experts,
Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel
Here is the situation:
I have developed one report, which will create the file in Application server with TAB deleimeted. After that I am sending that file via email in the excel format using Email functionality FM.
Normally our material numbers will start with zeros.
But when I check the email excel file , leading zeros are not displaying.
Even I checked the application server (AL11) file, zeros are there.
I thought program FM was wrong and I tried it manually by downloading the file into excel. Eventhough it is suppressing zeros.
Could you please advise, how to display leading zeros to the material number in excel file.
Thanks in advance
Raghu

Application server file showing zeros infront of the material number.
1200# 0012401387# XXXXXXXX
Once file created in app server, I am using one custom FM to send that output in excel format / txt format via email.
when I send txt file via email, I am getting leading zeros. But when I send xls file via email, I am not getting zeros.
I checked custom FUNCTION MODULE . No mistakes in that.
===
Sudhir,
As you said, I passed ( ' ) single quote infront of the material number. When I check the excel file, single quote also displaying like this '0000100.
Application server file showing like below
1200# '0012401387# XXXXXXXX
===
Could you please advise anyone how can we acheive this.
Thanks

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Leading Zeroes are lost when convert from string to int

What I'm trying to do is simple yet the solution has seemed difficult to find.
I have a system that requires 4 digit numbers as "requisitionNo". The system uses JSPs and accepts the 4 digit number that the user inputs (fyi - duplicate handling is already managed). The input number (rNumber) is of STRING type and in the action (using struts) is converted to an int:
int requisitionNo = Integer.parseInt(rNumber);At that very line the issue is that when the user inputs a number with leading zeros such as: "0001" the 3 leading zeros are chopped off in the INT conversion. The application validation kicks in and says: "A 4 digit number is required" which is by design. The work around has been that the user has been putting in number that start with 9's or something like that, but this isn't how the system was intended to be used.
How do I keep the leading zeroes from being lost instead of saving a number "1" to the database how do I keep it saving "0001" to the database? Would I just change everything to STRING on down to the database? or is there another number type that I can be using that will not chop off the leading zeroes? Please provide short code references or examples to be more helpful.

Yeah, I have to agree here that leading zeroes make no sense. I figured that out when I started to look into this problem. The only requirement that exists is that the user wants it to be a 4 digit number due to some other requirement they have themselves.
So what I'm gathering from what I've read in the responses thus far is that I should change the validation a bit to look at the STRING for the 4 required digits (which are really 4 characters; maybe I should add CLIENT side numeric validation; currently its doing server side numeric/integer validation; or maybe change up the server side validation instead???) and if they are ALL GOOD then let the application save the int type as it wants to. IE: Let it save "0001" as just "1" and when I come back to DISPLAY this saved number to the user I should append the string of "000" in front of the 1 for display purposes only? Am I understanding everyone correctly?

Leading zeros are truncated during EXPORT

I am having a report consist of some numberic columns like Emplid (0011, 0223, 00045). When I do the export, these zero's are getting dropped in the csv file.
so in csv file I am having 11, 223, 45 values
How to avoid this??

Hi,
I tried with following query...just added =
select empno ,'="'||empno||'"' empno_excel from emp;
it's working perfectly. Can someone explain me how putting = is removing the leading zero's.
Also I want to show only Excel coulmn in my CSV file. How can I do that.
Is there any API to hide columns in Excel file??
thanks,
deepak

Leading zeros are dropped when exporting as csv

I have a report that when I export as csv, leading zeros in text columns are dropped in excel. The text columns appear fine in the report, however, when I export the leading zero is gone in excel. For example, in the report my text column could have a value of 0101, when it is exported to excel it has a value of 101. The code behind the link to export to csv is f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R#REGION_ID#
Is there a way to keep the leading zero in excel?
Regards
Mark

Thanks for your reply. In my query I wrapped the column with double quotes as you suggest, and added the same column for display:
select '"'||column1||'"' execl_col, column1 disp_col from table where ....
Using htmldb_application.g_excel_format as a conditional display I can control what is displayed on the screen and export to csv the double quoted text field. I have that part working fine. Using my previous data example, I am now seeing in excel 0101"".
Did I wrap the field incorrectly with double quotes? How can I exclude the
double quotes in the export to csv?

Leading zeros are disappearing!!

Hello
I am downloading sales order data from SAP (ECC 6.0) to a spread sheet/Excel (2003 and 2010 versions) on desktop.
I am sending the sales order # as 0012345678, customer # as 0087654321, sales org as 0123 (saw in debug mode), but, when i check the downloaded data in Excel, they are displaying as sales order # as 12345678, customer # as 87654321, sales org as 123, meaning the leading zeros got disappeared! I knew that this can be handled in excel settings by going formatting the cells into the associated fields lengths, like ten zeros for sales order #
But, business do not want do not want to do these kind of settings in the excle spread sheet! asking me to handle programitically of SAP side, pls let me know how to fix it?
Thank you

Pass the data in internal table as text using formula to the excel like below.
CONCATENATE '=T("' l_f_vbeln '")' INTO wa-vbeln.
CONCATENATE '=T("' l_f_kunnr '")' INTO wa-kunnr.
CONCATENATE '=T("' l_f_vkorg '")' INTO wa-vkorg.
APPEND wa TO itab.
"Now pass itab to excel. Leading zeros will be present

Hi,
try to explain to excel, that this field is character field (I think that it will be done by adding single quote as first character of string).
Pointing to my previous answer try:
Constants: c_single_quote(1) type c value ''''. " I _hope_ it works
loop at itab.
concatenate c_single_quote itab-matnr to texttab-c_matnr.
endloop.
