Hi,

I have problem with Excel output. I have field which contains 12 digits numeric value(923456799801) and it is dispalying properly entire value in HTML format. Problem is when I do export to EXCEL, the number is turning '9.23457E+11' which it is ta
  • king the excel default format.

    To display the entire value I have a solution that I can convert the numeric value into Character type and then do Export to excel where it will show the entire value 923456799801 instead of '9.23457E+11'

    My Question is with converting the numeric value to character type is there any solution to change the default format of the EXCEL CELL.

    I got a problem in attaching the Image. May be I can show visual kind of my requirement.

    HTML output: Its showing fine Excel Output: Its showing a value based on the

    ... which is a question for an Excel Forum.

    Change your numeric format to Double Precision instead of Packed Decimal e.g. D12c instead of P12c -

    TABLE FILE CAR
SUM COMPUTE NO/P12c = 923456799801;
    COMPUTE NO/D12c = 923456799801;
 BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

    Hi Tony,

    Thanks for the reply its working fine and I'm getting the entire 12 digits value in the excel cell when I do a normal Export like using the command

    ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

    But, When hold data in HTMTABLE and use the commnad SET HTMLFORMTYPE=XLS and show the output in Excel it is again taking its own format excel cell format

    Actually I'm doing these things...

    ON TABLE HOLD AS REPORT FORMAT HTMTABLE
    once I hold the ouput then I'M showing the output in excel format as follows

    -HTMLFORM BEGIN





    !IBI.FIL.REPORT;





    -HTMLFORM END

    Please suggest me or how to get it.

    Thanks!

    That format does not contain any format information about cell content.

    If you want to use FORMAT HTMTABLE it's not going to work.

    Convert the field to alpha using FTOA or PTOA
