Hi,

I tried to use a lower sign < in my heading. Works good with Output FOrmat HTML, but not with XLSX.

Any Suggestions?


HTML:

HEADING
"&|lt"

A < in the heading is used when wanting to display the value of a field ie. <COUNTRY.

Please post your code so we can better see what you are trying to do..


Thank you for using Focal Point!

As Chuck states, a < character is used to include a field value within your heading.


So, use that to your advantage - this is just one method.


TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM RCOST
      DCOST
	  COMPUTE CARAT/A1 = HEXBYT(60,'A1'); NOPRINT
   BY COUNTRY
   BY CAR
   BY MODEL
HEADING
"Using a carat <CARAT within the heading using XLSX format"
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ENDSTYLE
END

Sorry @FP Mod Chuck and @Tony A,
I know you can Show values with < but thats not what I want.
I just want to see a lower sign < in my heading.

So there's not much of code which is interesting just


...
HEADING
" here I want to write something and Show a < sign, which is needed in the context of my heading"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX
...

If I would want to have a HTML Format for example, than it's easy, beacause that's when I can write in my heading

...
HEADING
" here I want to write something and Show a &|lt, which is needed in the context of my heading
"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
...


But with XLSX it's not working, it really Shows "and pipe lt"


So it has nothing to do with values...

Just Special characters for Excel
