Preventing automatic scientific notation conversion for excel output?

I have a column in a report that contains a mixture of numbers and letters and hyphens. If the only letter is E, then I get scientific notation instead of the actual text when I run the report for excel output and open it in excel.
For example:
185701E-02 becomes 1.86E+03
4962E6 becomes 4.96E+09
Any ideas how to fix or work around this in the template, data definition, or excel config?
Thanks,
Kevin

I tried pre-pending an apostrophe in the SQL and in the rtf template to indicate to excel that it is a text field, but this just resulted (not surprisingly) in '185701E-02 instead of 185701E-02

  • How to Design Report for Excel output?

    Hello Experts...
    I have both versions Crystal Report XI and Crystal 2013 at this time as we are in the process of Upgrading...
    How to design for excel output with no page size limit.
    I have several fields going across (crossing width of paper size 11X17 landscape) and I do not need this report output to be printed at all only for excel output.
    Appreciate your time!
    Thank you,

    Hi Padma,
    You would need to increase the Page Size horizontally. Go to File > Page Setup > Check 'No Printer' > Check 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer page Size' > Increase the Horizontal value.

  • Issue with Varchar2 field conversion for report output generated in EXCEL

    Hello All,
    I have an unique problem with one of my new reports for the User. The user wants the report output generated in excel data only(delimited data) format *(reports builder 10g)* .
    Everything was fine until i encountered this problem, there was this field which has unique ID's(alphanumeric and numeric), when i tried to run the report and generate output in Excel the numeric ID's say for example *(41593497999679354429)* is converted in excel and displayed like *(2.5881E+19)* and after format cells in excel it displays *(41593497999679300000).*
    The issue is only with 20 digits numeric ID's , if i append any special character to the end say '#' or '..' it shows the exact value along with the appended character. But the user insist they need only the value that is in the table. I am finding it hard to figure out, if any one of you have encountered the same issue or if any of you have any suggestions to overcome this excel conversion thing please do advice me.
    Thanks in advance :)

    Thanks for you response, but i already tried what you suggested, instead of appending single quote in front of ID, i did at the end prior with '#', it preserves the value if i add any character to the id but the appended value shows up too :(.
    Well, i just got the solution and it did work, thanks to [Brian Hill|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=651632] for the post, i did what exactly he said and it worked. I was so very happy and wanted to share with everyone.

  • Need help in formatting a number field with same precision for excel output

    I am trying to get the same preciision for a field in RTF template when the output is in EXCEL
    i.e. same number of digits after decimal. So, I would like to show 150 as 150.00 and 123.2 as 123.20 etc !! Is there a way to do it. the Built in formatting will not display 150.00 for 150 . but if i add $ symbol it will display. But i dont need $ syambol. please help.

    I found this on one of the forum questions.
    Excel dont preserve the trailing zeros.
    try opening the xcel and type 5.0000 and tab out, it wont preserve the trailing zeros after decimal.
    try finding out how to disable the option in excel. if you do that, you will see what you send out from the report.
    But you can try to convert the number into a text by trying to append a space at the beginning. See if that would work.
    Thanks

  • Converting Standard Oracle Report to XML for excel output

    I have gone through the steps of copying a concurrent program for a standard report to a new program, changed the output format to xml, ran the new concurrent job, saved the output as a .xml, then using the xml publisher template builder for word (Oracle Patch 5887917) tried to modify record information so each record will be on the same line in an Excel format. I tried de-normalising the hierarchy using the ../.. syntax to traverse up the hierarchy but only the data at the lowest level displays. Has anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas on how I can fix it.
    Here is the xml when I insert a table and convert the table to text just so you can see the hierarchy I'm trying to de-normalise; these are all the fields but not in the order I would want them displayed...

    Follow this Example. You can do it in the below manner
    You need not add HEADER1 HEADER2 to the internal table. You can just declare one field like below and append all the header columns to the internal table HEADER

  • Scientific Notation conversion to text Help needed

    I have a column with datatype nvarchar. I need to remove this problem thats happenning often, This is how sometimes the values can be 13343E11466  in my column  but when I run a query it changes to " 1.40E+279".. Do i need to convert
    the data type into text? or
    Can someone help me out ??
    FM

    > 13343E11466 
    That is not a common number. How do you interpret the string?
    If you want to keep it in a specific display format, you have to keep it as a string. SSMS reformats to a standard scientific display format. The actually value does not change.
    DECLARE @Fl float = 13343E11;
    SELECT @Fl;
    -- 1.3343E+15
    Excel does the same thing. This behavior is similar to datetime with a single internal binary representation and many string formats.

  • Word wrap in RTF for an excel output : BIP 11g

    Hi,
    If we set the word wrap property in RTF and generate the output in Excel format, it doesnt reflect. However, PDF output reflects the difference.
    Looks like Excel overrides the property set in RTF. Is there anyway to text wrap a column for excel output?
    Thanks,

    Hi Mahi,
    Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
    I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
    1) What about the negative values?
    if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
    2)How can we align header or data?
    Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
    3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
    Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
    Please help.
    Many Thanks,
    Pragati

  • Amount formating in Excel output of XML Publisher Report

    Hi,
    I have to display my XML output in Excel format. I want the output of amount column to be displayed in form '#,###.00' and the negatives numbers are to be displayed in parenthesis. For eg number -234.5 should be displayed as (234.50).
    I tried <?format-number:AMOUNT;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?> and also <?format-currency:OPEN_BALANCE;'99G999G999G990D00PT'?>.
    Both of these works in PDF output, but its not working for Excel output.
    Any input is appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards

    The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
    In a bit more detail:
    - I used word to generate my default table
    - this created a field INVOICE_NUM
    - in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
    The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
    For any other formats this will not work.
    I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

  • Scientific notation doesn't display correctly

    Hi, this is just a general question but it's about the Calculator app. The problem is with displaying answers in scientific notation. When I'm in scientific calculator mode, answers displayed on the screen only appear in scientific notation when they are larger than the number of digits that can be displayed. However, whenever I use it to calculate something in which the answer is smaller than the set precision for the number of decimal places, it always gives 0 instead of scientific notation. For example, if I type a number such as 1E19 and press =, then the answer displays correctly as 1E19. However, if I type 1/1E19, and press =, then the answer simply shows up as 0 instead of 1E-19, which is the correct answer in scientific notation. So, it seems that the scientific notation in Calculator simply does not display negative exponents in the scientific notation (I know that I can type such numbers but for some reason, it cannot display them as answers). This is very annoying because I often work with very small numbers, not just very large ones. Is there any way that I can get the scientific notation to display negative exponents when I'm working with very small numbers and when the answer is smaller than the set number of decimal places?

    There are tonnes of possibilities and many websites with suggestions. I tried all sorts of these option (clear cache, clear cookies, anti-virus changes, page style options etc) with no success until eventually I accidentally changed my character encoding autodetect (firefox 6) from "off" to "universal" and everything is fine.
