| [SOLVED] Excel and leading zeros | Login/Join |
| Silver Member |
Hi, The output of my report is Excel and in order to format it for printing (landscape, borders, etc) I used the HTMLFORM approach (trying to steer away from templates...). One of my output columns is strings, but some values can be numbers only, for example 001234. If I just output to Excel (ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K) everything looks ok, the leading zeros appear. Once I change to output to use the HTMLFORM, the leading zeros are dropped. Any ideas of how I can make sure I get those zeros? Thanks, Luminita Here is the HTMLFORM code I use. -HTMLFORM BEGIN

I've never seen code like this used inside an HTMLFORM. How did you come up with this? Since you're using this type of code, can't you address a specific column and use styling to change the number format? Or is the number format code (NumberFormat ss:Format="@") removing the leading zeros? Francis  Give me code, or give me retirement.

Prasad, Thank you so much, that worked like a charm! I am having a hard time finding help documents for stuff like this, any tips or tricks on how to go about that? Francis, I sort of "inherited" this code from other developers, and have been tweaking it to suit my needs. It's a good alternative to using the Excel templates. Thank you!

@Francis, That's the type of code that Excel (and other MS Office docs) uses under the covers. I believe specifically if it is an "online" file. To see this in action: 1. Open Excel. 2. Create a new Spreadsheet. 3. Populate with data (or don't). 4. Save as file type HTML. 5. Close Excel. 6. Open output in a text editor (suggest TextPad). 7. Bask in the glory of the Office-ified HTML/XML. ------------------------------------ WF Environment: ------------------------------------ Server/Client, ReportCaster, Dev Studio: 7.6.11 Resource Analyzer, Resource Governor, Library, Maintain, InfoAssist OS: Windows Server 2003 Application/Web Server: Tomcat 5.5.25 Java: JDK 1.6.0_03 Authentication: LDAP, MRREALM Driver Output: PDF, EXL2K, HTM ------------------------------------ Databases: ------------------------------------ Oracle 10g DB2 (AS/400) MSSQL Server 2005 Access/FoxPro | |||

ABT, thanks for that info. At least it appears my assumption is correct regarding the Excel styling. It seems that this type of code would be hard to maintain...
