Hi All,

We have a EXL2K FORMULA report output with fields format as D20.2 (Actual field format is D20.6).
By default EXL2K FORMULA format rounding off to the nearest integer value and then display it in excel.

Eg,. My field value is 43.376580, but it showing as 43.3766 in excel formula bar.

How to disable/remove this round off in EXL2K FORMULA output...?

I need actual value 43.37658 in cell. How to achieve this..?

Thanks..

What's the value of that field if you run the report with FORMAT HTML? Is that rounded off too or is it displaying the correct value?

I'm trying to see if the problem is with Excel or WF.

Hi BabakNYC,

Actual Value is 43.376580

In FORMAT HTML output, it shows actual value 43.376580 for D12.6 and shows rounded off value 43.38 for D12.2 display format.

but in EXL2K FORMULA output, it shows 43.3766 in cell(formula bar) for D12.2 display format.

Thanks

Have you checked to see what happens when you change your format in Excel?

Hi BabakNYC,

In Excel it's showing the desired output(43.37658 in cell and 43.38 in display) while change the format.

Try changing the format to P12.6.
1. Actual of 12.6 is not the usage of 12.2
2. Redefine with P12.6
3. Screenshot shows IBI automatically uses ROUND in the formula.
4. Code below works for me.
  
TABLE FILE CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
SUM RC AND DC AND
COMPUTE PROFIT/P12.6 = (RC - DC) * .43567;
BY CAR
HEADING
"Profit By Car"
" "
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K FORMULA
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, COLOR=BLUE, BACKCOLOR=SILVER, SIZE=9,$
TYPE=HEADING, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=14, $
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=11,$
TYPE=GRANDTOTAL, STYLE=BOLD, SIZE=11,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-EXIT

Then you need realise that be controlled in MS Excel not WebFOCUS.

When gets to MS Excel it finished in WebFOCUS. How display is control of MS Excel.
