Leading zeros in report.
Hi,
I have got a char Tracking number of type numc . I have loaded the data using alpha conv routine. So when i look at cube content my char is showing leading zeroes for the values. but in reports I am not able to see leading zeroes. what setting needs to be done and wher should I do it to obtain values with leading zeroes in report??
thanks in advance.
Interesting Issue...
Jst in case are you looking at the same data/same selections ?
Any Coding/VBA used to suppress zeroes ?

IR truncating leading zeros in my popup window report
Hello,
I am using IR_columnname, for one of the columns in my report which is a popup window report.
My problem is that IR_column search filter in my popup window is truncating the leading zeros.
I am getting the value but it is truncating the leading zeros.
like say if the deptno is something like 020 or 0020 in the parent window.
the IR_columnname value is taking '20' (its truncating leading zeros) with this filter its not dispalying the result in my popup window.
can anyone help me out with this.
thanks.How are you passing values to the IR filter? There could be a possibility that you source logic is truncating the leading zeros.
Thanks,

Report Builder: output to Excel removes leading zeros
I'm trying to use the Report Builder to output a numeric
field to EXCEL , but on numbers that start with zero EXCEL removes
the leading zero's. ex. 00123 becomes 123.
Is there something that I can put in the expression builder
on the field to overcome this.
I've tried concatonating a single quote on the front of the
field but the single quote shows up on the output. I've tried this
on both the SQL and on the expression builder.
I've read on some of the posts where people have tried using
'mso-number-format:"\@'" within a TD tag but I can't seem to get
the syntax right inside the Expression Builder.
Has anybody got any suggestions?Excel will remove leading zeros in a numeric field because it is treating the column as numeric. Putting a ' in front of the number forces Excel to treat the column as text.

Leading zeros getting truncated in plsql report
Hi,
I've a requirement of a plsql report with an excel output. When i see the output in excel, the leading zeros get truncated. Is there any suggestion for this, other than enclosing within ' '. Because this particular solution prints the output along with quotes which is not acceptable. Please help me with this.
-Divya GotetiJust prefix with =" and " at teh end of column. like
select '="' || bank_account_no || '"' from employee_bank_list
but if you are using same report for pdf also then use decode in pre/postfix.

Hi,
In an apex application, when user downloads data from an apex report into csv, it loses the leading zeros because excel thinks it is a number.
Is there a way to keep the leading zeros?
ThanksI'm afraid but I think that the simplest way is to "quote" the string (so that Excel take it as "text").
Example:
SELECT
'="'|| c1 ||'"'
FROM
select 'MX190' c1 from dual
UNION ALL
select '00190' c1 from dual
Or, sometimes, I save the ".csv" file and load it with Excel's Wizard that allow to specify the column to be considered text ...
But for a normal user is a complex solution...
Thanks

How to display leading zeros in a report
Hi folks,
I am doing a HR report and the users are very much used to seeing a two digit numeric value as the pay scale since their legacy days.
In BW, I have the Pay Scale defined as a character (2) and it shows the values on the report as follows:
Pay Scale
0
1
2
3
11, etc.
But the users would like to see 00, 01, 02, 03, 11, etc.
Under the query properties, display tab, there are four separate options - display zeros, show zeros as, etc. I tried all the options but the pay scale still does not show the leading zeros. I remember seeing a SAP note a while back that talks about this. Does anybody know how to force the leading zeros on the BEx report.
Thanks.

Cuts off leading zeros in a report column when "Download to Excel" function
Hello
When a text column contains leading zeros for example "000250" the download to Excel stores the string as "250" in the spreadsheet. I am using a column which is a string.(varchar)
Can somebody suggest me , how to go ahead with it
Thanks
Edited by: user647228 on Sep 11, 2008 1:40 PM
Edited by: user647228 on Sep 11, 2008 1:42 PM(To Vins) Actually, concatenating a space doesn't do it. When the file is downloaded into Excel, the leading space is ignored and it the leading zeroes are still trimmed.
To user647228: A non-space character needs to be concatenated. Regarding what character to append, I would give the following consideration: If the users are content with seeing an added character to the "number," you can append say an underscore "_" and Excel will download the number properly. It's fairly unobtrusive and can be "visually ignored."
If the end user insists on gettin rid of the extra character once the file is downloaded, I would append a character that is rarely, if not never, used in the report. (This ensures or mitigates replacing other instances of the character.) Then you can do a Replace All in Excel to replace the extra character with a single apostrophe. The single apostrophe will be interpreted by Excel to mean "text" and the appearance will change to exactly what is desired.
Note: Replacing the extraneous character with a space for example, will result in the leading zeroes being again lopped off by Excel... -
Hi Xperts,
i have report which has Plant ,Batch and Material.
Now we found that the Batch that start with "0" no longer has the leading zeros in the report.
For Exp:
Plant-X Material-123 Batch-0012345
But in report it is showing,
Plant-X Material-123 Batch-12345
As i have checked in the respective Table and in Cube the batch Number (0012345) is coming correctly with the leading zero.
but why the leading zero is not showing in my report.
Could any one please help me on this issue?
Regards,
satish
Edited by: SAP534 on Mar 31, 2010 8:35 AMIf your requirement is to show the leading zeros for the Batach, then i will suggest you to redesign the batch infoobject with the compunding objects of material and plant.
You have another option like to display the batch from master data in your report by making it as anavigantional attribute in your cube.
We do have the similar requirement and our business prefered to have Batch compunded with material and plant. Check with your Business and go aheead with the changes.
Hope this helps.

XL Reporter - item code starting with leading zeros was truncated
Hi,
Anybody knows how to prevent XL reporter from truncating the leading zero(s) in the item code?
I had done a XL report where one of the field is to retrieve Item Code. In the report generated, the formula was as below:
=ixDimGet("00100068")
However, when MS Excel display it in the spreedsheet, the item code becomes "100068" where the leading zeros was truncated. The correct item code was supposed to be "00100068". I had tried to change the cell format to "text", "number", "general" and etc, but it doesn't work. Any method to correct the item code display in the Excel spreadsheet?
Thanks,
sianghingChan,
There is a simple solution for this. Highlight the cell with the Item Code selection in it.
Click the formula builder icon in Excel to open the formula builder
In the bottom box, type TRUE
This tells Excel that you want to display exactly what comes out of the database, without having to predetermine it with a Custom format, etc.
I think that will solve your issue.
Let me know if this needs further explanation.

Removal of leading zeros for material no. in report
hi
my issue is that i have to remove leading zeros for material number when displaying in alv grid.iam getting output.but leading have to truncated automatically.
eg: 000000000000000102
the ouput should be 102.
please do provide solution for this or any function module.thanks in advance.Hi Sanjana,
while populating the internal table use the conversion exit available for MATNR. this will remove the leading zeros.
oter possible way, declare the internaltable by referring the data element MATNR, i hope if you do this, it will delete the leading zeros automaticallt.
or if you declare the internal table field as charecter type, use the ALPLA_CONVERSION_EXIT_INPUT ot OUTPUT function module to remove the leading zeros.
Reward the points if it is helpful.. -
IR - Column with leading Zeros issue
Hello,
I've got an IR report which includes as "default report settings" 1 column with leading 0s. In order to export to Excel that column as text rather than as a numeric I followed a workaround proposed before in this forum (excel copy drops leading zeros
In essence this workaround is to create an identifical column but in "excel text format" and display the columns depending on the request value: INSTR(NVL(:REQUEST,'YABBADABBADO'),'CSV') <> 0 for example.
This works just fine for the default report.
The problem arise when a user creates his own customise report that includes the mentioned column and saves it as a named report. Here, when the results are exported to excel the "excel" column does not appear.
In fact, just hiding one of the displayed columns produces the same undesired result.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Many thanks
Edited by: Javier Gil on Jul 20, 2010 7:52 AMI have found a better method. In your IR query:
SELECT LPAD(v.vendor, 7, ' ') vendor,
/*Just LPAD to a length of the column defined in the database table or to 7, whichever is greater. */
FROM v, r
WHERE v.VENDOR = r.VENDOR
AND date_rcv <= to_date(:P150_CUTOFF,'yyyy/mm/dd')
AND inv_nbr = ' '
AND to_stores <> 'T'
AND (V.VENDOR = RPAD(:P150_VENDOR,10,' ') OR :P150_VENDOR = 'ALL')
When you download to Excel by Download/XLS (Request=XLS), it preserves the leading zeros.
In the case of dates, you should LPAD 10 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YY'), 10, ' ') date_rcv,
I haven’t tried it yet but I think in the case of ‘MM/DD/YYYY’, you should LPAD 12 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YYYY'), 12, ' ') date_rcv,
Drawbacks of this method:
Since the string has leading white spaces, you cannot use the filter for the ‘=’ comparison operator. Even filtering using leading white spaces will not return anything. You must use the LIKE and NOT LIKE operator instead.
Advantages of this method over the original one I posted yesterday:
1) You do not have to create another column for download, just one column will suffice.
2) Even though the query has leading white spaces, they will not display in the IR region.

BAPI_PO_CHANGE document number leading zero problem
Hi experts,
The following code clears the "Delivery Complete" flag on a list of Purchase Orders uploaded from a CSV file.
The PO number is 9 digits long, however, in EKPO table it is stored as 10 digits (prefixed with a zero). The BAPI does not recognise the document number unless it is prefixed with a zero in the CSV file (which adds extra work for the user to create custom format in Excel to add the leading zero).
What code is required for the BAPI to recognise the 9 digit number without the leading zero? Perhaps the leading zero could be hard-coded into the program?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.
