I am trying to save a number to excel using the correct number of digits. In
asp I write a number out to HTML formated as "4.50". I now want run that
page and save the results as an excel page.
I add Response.ContentType="application/x-msdownload"
and now the number displays as "4.5" in excel. I have tried to CStr(4.50)
when going to excel but that doesn't help.
How do I show the number of decimals I want??
I'm having a problem getting a number to display correctly. The number is the result of a calculation and I am then using formatnumber to remove any decimals.The number displays as '1,345' is there any way to get rid of the comma.

I've been messing around with this for a while now and can't figure it out. I'm trying to use this code to pull a person's phone number out of a database:
<%
call GetAddrInfo ("BenPhone_v",datavalue)
if datavalue = TRUE then
%>
<%call GetAddrInfo ("BenPhone",datavalue)%>
Phone Number: <%=datavalue%>
<%end if%>
What it returns is an unformatted phone number (ie: 5555555555) Nothing I've tried will format the number. I think the problem is the code that's being used to retrieve data from the database, but I'm not sure: Code:
I have created an MS-Access DB that holds data items including phone number and currency. Utilzing the input mask function in MS-Access, and using Access to input data, keeps the data looking clean, i.e. $5,678.32 and (555) 555-1234. When I read this information from an ASP page into my repeatable region table (I'm using Dreamweaver btw), the data is displayed as 5678.32 and 5555551234. How can I format the data on my displayed ASP page to be formatted as currency and a proper phone number mask?

I have the document outputting to Excel very nicely, and I've done my research and got the XML to format nicely, and I can even modify the page margins and center the document to the page.

I came across a problem when importing my data results into Excel. The whole table outputs perfectly but a particular field which is generally large (13 characters long) presents as some random integer which shouldn't be the case. I click on Tools -> Format Cells and change its value to number and to 0 decimal places and great it works.
Am I able to do this before I get into Excel? Or would this always have to be done by the user?
I have a webpage that is taking input from a form and using it as
criteria to select data out of an sql database. The page displays an
html table with the results. The user can then click a button "excel"
to open or save the file as an excel document. This works, and
everything in the excel document is formatted fine except for the
first column which in this case is "Part Number". The problem is that
this part number: 883100105100 is displayed like this: 8.831E+11 in
excel.
I am not sure how to format the excel cells using the asp/html
so that it doesn't try to throw everything into scientific notation.
I have thought that maybe if I gave excel a string value instead of a
number value then it would fix the problem but I am pretty new to asp
and am not sure how to do this. Below is the block that throws
everything into excel in the first place. Code:

I’m having an issue saving/reading an xml file.The source of this file is a the parameter of an object. Through the UI the user can change the value (xml string) of this parameter.
The problem is that the parameter needs the xml with > , < , and " instead of the > , < , " chars. However when I save it, the xml dom and even the fso save it with the actual xml chars. Other than a literal search, is there an easy way to convert the file to have the special chars?

I have users typing in information into a text box. Sometimes this information can be lengthy and contain simple formatting such as spacess between lines and line numbering. For example:
1. List item number one
2. List item number two
I then have a report page that prints out this information. Unfortunately, the line spacing doesn't show up in the report. It's just all jumbled together. I'm just using <%= Notes %> to show the db field. Is there a way that I can show the formatting that was originally entered or do I need to use some kind of word processor like I am using to type this post?
I would like to know how to format phone numbers and ssn numbers in textbox. That is when I enter the phone number, it is going to the database as 000,000,0000. I want to have it as either 0000000000 or 000-000-0000. Likewise, for ssn also. I am really fed up with javascript, somehow, it doesn't work well for me. Always, get page errors and it is not that easy to find out the errors in javascript.....
View Replies View Relatedi have a date in the following format: 12/1/2003
how do i reference just the 'day' portion of this date - in other words '1'
if the date was 12/10/2003, then i would just want the '10'
I'm developing in ASP/VBScript using DreamweaberMX, w/ an Access 2000 DB as the
data source. The source of the data is coming from a third party, which I get as
a CSV and import into the database, updating it weekly.
Since I have no control over how the data is collected, I'm not sure how to fix
this problem, but here it is.
This is a database of movies and among the many fields I import is one for the
movie's length, expressed in HH:MM:SS. This comes into the Access DB as a
Date/Time format, which means all the dates, displayed raw in the DB, look like
"12:09:52 AM". Through data formatting, however, displaying it to the client as
HH:MM:SS is no problem. (Display "12:36:00 AM" as military time (00:36:00) tells
me the movie is 0 hrs, 36 minutes, 0 seconds long. Follow?)
But in an update form, which we'll use to correct errors (and there always seem
to be errors in the running times of movies), I can't figure out how to display
it in the HH:MM:SS format in an INPUT field and have it submit without throwing
a data type mismatch error. It seems to want to display as "12:36:00 AM"
Converting the field to a text type is out of the question at this point, so I
know I need to do some type of string manipulation prior to update. However, I'm
lost ...
Any ideas?
When e-mailing invoices and estimates, is there any way to customize the
presentation of the e-mail beyond changing the message? Specifically,
I'd like to add some html so the receiver can click on a link to pay
online. As it is, I can type the URL in the message, but it appears only
as text to the reader, not a hotlink, which, unfortunately, is quite
vexing to some of my clients.
It would also be nice to add a company logo, etc. to the email body.
On this same subject, is it possible to send the entire invoice/estimate
as HTML rather than an attached PDF? I haven't seen these options
anywhere.
I'm currently doing some work with ASP and XML DOM.
Is there any way when saving XML to get ASP to save it in a formatted way? Similar to PHP's formatOutput setting? At the moment my xml is being appended on line e.g

Is there a setting to get ASP to save XML like:

<test>2</test>

View Replies View RelatedI have a SQL 2000 table with data I display in three columns. The code

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a
format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL
Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only,
not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database
because the time is used in other places.
So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in
ASP/VBScript by using the datevalue function. This results in values such as
3/31/2006, 4/3/2006, and 4/14/2006. The problem is, the ones with the
single digit date (4/3/2006 in the sample data I just listed) messes up
Excel's sorting capabilities. How can I force the dates to display in a
2-digit date format? It would probably be good to do the same for the month.
OK, I know about FormatPercent and it changes a decimal into a percentage, but is there an analagous function to change a percentage into a decimal value?
