Hi All,

0100E0054

0100E0056

0100E0057

0100E0059

0100E0072

0100E0072

0100E0073

these are downloaded as below

1.00E+29

1.00E+31

1.00E+46

1.00E+56

1.00E+58

1.00E+59

1.00E+61

hi,

it is downloading the value in exponent values u cancheck

IF value CS 'E+0' OR

v_value CS 'E-0' .

then if u dont want that then convert it to char using fm C14W_NUMBER_CHAR_CONVERSION

CALL FUNCTION 'C14W_NUMBER_CHAR_CONVERSION'

EXPORTING

i_float = w_float "exponent values

IMPORTING

e_dec = w_value_char "char values

EXCEPTIONS

number_too_big = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ELSE.

v_value = w_value_char.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

thanks

Hi ,

Are you using ALV method to output the list.. then check with Fieldcatlog..

[awin_prabhu]

Hi friend,

Remove the line

write_field_separator = 'X' in GUI_DOWNLOAD

This will give accurate values in excel.

Thanks..

I am repeating my question again. I guess you all misunderstood.

My report is run in back ground. I am not using any down load function module in the code. I am downloading the alv display using SAVE TO LOCAL FILE... as spreadsheet.

Material No - 0100E0029 in the ALV Display is downloaded as 1.00E+29 in the Excel.

I have tried formatting it by defining it as number and changing the decimal places to 0.

But it is of no use because it is giving the material no as 100000000000000000000000000000

which is wrong value.

Please provide some suggestions.

Regards,

Nibha

Hi,

In excel, select all cells that are with exponentials and

right click -> format cells -> In Number Tab -> fraction ->OK.

This will change your values.

Thanks...

Hi,

In your internal table, declare the material number as char19 and concatenate single quote and material number before downloading to excel sheet.

Hi,

It seems that it is not an SAP issue,

Check with the Excel you are using.

This is a problem with the MS-Excel settings. Try passing the value as text.

Still if it doesnt work manually change the column settings in excel to text:

Select the column to which it will be populated. Right Click > Format cells > Number > Text.

Then download to this file....

Hope it will work...
