Special character (Space) coming in excel output

Hi,
I am using rtf to develop a XML report. The output type is excel so I am using force Ltr property to allign few fields. But I am getting special character when I copy and paste a value of the O/P in the notepad. When I don use Force LTR the problem is not there but the allignment goes for a toss. So is there any way by whcih the issue can be resolved keeping the force LTR.?

This seems to be a BUG, please share if there is any workaround for the above issue.
I have tried below approach in order to retain leading zeros.
Excel Output From BI Publisher or XML Publisher is Trimming Leading Zeros [ID 417811.1]
Thanks in advance.

  • Special Character Problem In MS Excel

    How can we download the the same ship to name with out any special character in Microsoft excel.
    Please help me.
    Thanks,

    Hi Venkat,
    If you can verify that whether the special character is from SAP or excel. This you need to verify by de-bugging in SAP and then by opening the downloaded file in notepad.
    Please refer the link below for details:

  • Validation to avoid special character in material & vendor no

    Hi Experts,
    We receive material & vendor creation request through E-portal. Once user send request on portal it gets recorde at its backend i.e MDM
    Please guide me how to give validation in MDM to avoid special character '*' ',' '&' 'space' in material no. & incase of vendor code these same character & numeric code is not allowed.
    Please guide in deatail step by step procedure.
    Regards,
    Gaurang

    Hi Gaurang,
    How to give validation in MDM to avoid special character '' ',' '&' 'space' in material no. & incase of vendor code these same character & numeric code is not allowed*
    For this, you can write two validations one for Material number and other for Vendor Code and need to set both of these validations to Automatic Execution = Error
    Expression for Material No as given below:
    IF(FIND(Material No, "*") OR FIND(Material No, ",") OR FIND(Material No, "&") OR FIND(Material No, " ") , FALSE, TRUE)
    Expression for Vendor Code as given below:
    IF(FIND(Vendor Code, "*") OR FIND(Vendor Code, ",") OR FIND(Vendor Code, "&") OR FIND(Vendor Code, " ") , FALSE, TRUE)
    So both above validations will fail if they find any Special character among Asterisk ("*"), Ampersand ("&"), Space (" ") and Comma (","). Kindly revert with result.

  • XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
    Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Do anyone have a solution for this

  • Reg: Special Character Appearing in Excel O/P.

    I am getting excel output generated via an Oracle report (CSV format). In the excel output, I am getting a special character for TAB (Chr9, a box). Since user wants to sort the data, because of this character they are not able to sort data in sheet properly.
    Can anyone suggest what could cause this special character to appear in the report output? I am looking from layout perspective also. Is this has something to do with the printing style applied to the concurrent program?
    Thanks In advance.

    I had the same problem and this is what I did, works great. You have the total control.
    function BeforeReport return boolean is
    fp text_io.file_type;
    begin
    -- creating a file name
    :CP_filename := 'C:\Gap'||to_char(sysdate,'MMDDYYHHMISS')||'.csv';
    -- Opening the file in write mode
    fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'w');
    -- writing the column headings into the file
    text_io.put_line(fp,'"Platform","Sys#","GapType",');
    text_io.fclose(fp);
    return (TRUE);
    end;
    and then where ever it is suitable, depending on the requirement, write into file by opening it in the append mode.
    function R_G_systemplatformFormatTrigge return boolean is
    fp text_io.file_type;
    begin
    --     srw.message(99,:dname);
    fp := text_io.fopen(:CP_filename,'a');
    text_io.put(fp,'"' || :systemplatform || '",');
    text_io.put(fp,'"' || to_char(:sysno) || '",');
    text_io.put_line(fp,'"' || :CF_gaptype || '",');
    text_io.fclose(fp);

    This works great. Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Its looks like this might be the customization issue please have a look at the OSS Notes 457497 and refer to the questions 2, 3 &  4 may be you can get the idea (Specially 4).
    Why are some texts not printed at all?
    Answer:
    Which texts are printed depends on the Customizing settings of purchasing.
    Go to Customizing for purchasing.
    Choose "Messages -> Texts for Messages -> Define Texts for <Purchasing Document>". Choose "Print Document <Purchasing Document>". Select "Texts for Document Items" and add a new entry.
    You must specify a value for the print sequence in the detailed screen for your new entry.
    Let me know in case of any.
