[CLOSED] % sign in excel

August 10, 2009, 02:13 PM

Hello,

In a report, I have a column header which is "Sales %'. This is defined as FIELD AS "Sales %'.

It works fine except when the output is excel. The % is not showing.

Do you have a solution for that ?

Thanks
Nicolas

P.S. I'm using WF 7.6.9

This works fine for me. Do you really have it as "Sales %'?

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES AS 'SALES %'
BY CAR 
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

I'm also running 769 and also do not have any problem showing the percent sign in the column title.
Can you please show your exact code? That way it might become more clear what's going on...

Sorry for the delay. I have new information now

Here is an example of the code :

TABLE FILE SALES_NCC
BY IVCNUM
WHERE IVCNUM = 21322;
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1
END

TABLE FILE HOLD1
SUM
COMPUTE TEST = PCT.IVCNUM; AS 'TEST1 %' OVER
COMPUTE TEST2 = SUM.IVCNUM; AS 'TEST2'
BY IVCNUM
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
-EXIT;

I see the % sign in my report if I remove the OVER. But, when I put it, the % sign disappear...

Thanks

I see the problem now.
Looks like a bug with Excel output.
Time to open a case with IBI.
