Text Export Has Too Many Trailing Zeroes (1.00000)
Jan 14, 2014
For some reason, whenever I export a query to text, every number has trailing zeroes after it. This happens with any number, even integers.
Examples:
1.000000000
5.250000000
0.600000000
Nine decimal places would be fine if the number extended that far, but I want to get rid of the trailing zeros so that 1.0000000 becomes 1, and 5.2500000 becomes 5.25, etc.
Now, I have noticed that a setting in the Control Panel > Region and Language > Formats Tab > Additional Settings > Numbers Tab controls the numbers of decimal places, but if I adjust it to two or zero it just cuts the data off at that point.
Hello, Does anyone knows how can I export the export/import specifications (which file/directory) and how can I import/export the specifications between different versions of Access. Thanks!
As part of an extraction program I'm making, I've got a table (lets call it TABLE1) with values that have trailing spaces e.g. "ENGINEERING ", "LOGISTICS ", etc....
This has been set up as such to match the values that exist in a read only table I am linking to from another database.
I have used a query of TABLE1 as a row source for a combo box. When the values are selected in the combo box the trailing spaces are lost.
I have a table called "Amount" that has the amounts as follows: 45.40, 35.60 etc.
I need to add 5 zeroes to the start of each individual amount so this can be imported into another system (E.g 0000045.40, 0000035.60 etc).
Can anyone please help with how to do this?
I currently have the format as Currency and it is exporting the £ symbol when I am choosing to export as a fixed width txt file. When I change the format to number, it is rounding the values up/down which I do not want it to do!
I have tables that get their data from SQL server. Some of the fields in the table have trailing spaces. Does this issue need to be resolved in SQL server or in Access?
I have a query that I need to add trailing spaces to. I have a query that pulls the first and last name of our employees, but after the initial text, I need to add spaces up to 20. So the text of the first name plus spaces would be 20 characters and the last name in a different field would be last name plus spaces would add up to 20.
I have a table that I need to update. The field is alphanumeric and goes like
Dc0001 Dc0002 Dc0003 Dc0004
I want to add an extra 0 onto them so would be
Dc00001 Dc00002 Dc00003 Dc00004
As there are a few thousand records like this I don't want to do it manually and just wandered how would I do this in an update query or I would I need some VB code.
Hi, I am creating a csv in another application where fields may contain trailing spaces. If I open this in excel, the trailing spaces are preserved, but if I import into Access I lose the trailing spaces. Is there any way to preserve them? Thanks, Dave.
I have a form which a order number is put in and is compared to data which has been pulled from the system. The issue I'm having is that that on the software we take the orders on it adds zeroes in front of the numbers to make it up to an 8 digit sequence, but generally when people input into the Access system they are ignoring the zeroes.
how to get zeroes in front of a sequence of numbers (ie 1234 to 00001234) however our order numbers also have different two letter combination at the front depending on the product type.Is it possible to somehow edit a text box on a form so that after AJ1234 is inputted it would automatically change to AJ00001234, or at the very least be able to perform a DLookUp on data which is in the form AJ00001234?
I am creating my first form and a field that holds a price is showing that as 000000.00 I would like to eliminate trailing zeros and can find nowhere in a properties to do that in form properties.
I have created a report and, in the unit price field, I have set the decimal place to 5 in the report properties. Sometimes we have pricing for items up to 5 decimals long, such as $10.02985. It is rare though, so I'm to see if there is a way to have it drop the zeros down to 2 decimals when more is not needed. I'm thinking maybe a VBA event might work, but not sure.
I have an access 2003 table I want to export to a text file. I can do this but the headers disappear and don't export. I can't find anyway to make the headers export also. Can someone help please. Thanks
Hi All, I need to export an access table to text file automatically. It would be helpful if this could be done by some commands or a batch file etc..
I have 60 access tables. I need to export the data to one single text file (if not possible I dont have problem in exporting to 60 different text files).
This needs to be done daily. So I need a faster way. I cannot use any softwares since I dont have any budget for that. But If there is any source codes I could Look at it would be more helpful.
I am trying to export a text file from access. I know how to do it using the export wizard and it pretty much works with my VB code except 1 thing. I need the header column exported as well. There is a check box to include that in your export while using the wizard. When I save the specs and do it using the VB code everything works except it does not include the header row which I need. Is there a way to include this row without having to go through the wizard?
Here is my current code that works(except the header). DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Amazon Spec", _ "Amazon SQL Export Query", "C:Documents and SettingspctesterMy DocumentsAmazonMorningside.txt"
I have 30+ queries (or table columns) I wish to export to txtfile files that I need to be able to replace each time the table and / or queries are updated.
This is the code I've used but when I run the macro the error message is that the FreeFile is not a valid outside procedure. The code debugs without issues up to but not including the macro.
Option Compare Database Dim fFile As Long Dim strFile As String Dim strString As String Dim Rs As Recordset Dim RsSql As String
I would like to export each record of an access table to a separate text file and use one field of each record as the source for the file name of each exported text file. Does anyone know a way of dong this?
Hi members, I have two empty columns in my access database whose total width is supposed to be 385 chars (255+130). I am trying to find a way to be able to export this blank field with a total of 385 blank spaces onto an ASCII text file. A sample row looks like this: L ***** 385spaces needed here ***** 888888 EXAMPLE DEALER NAME 1234 EXAMPLE LANE EXAMPLE ADDRESS LINE 2 EXAMPLE CITY CA88888 80088812348008881234FORD JOE DEALER NAME 8008881234
After the first letter L in position 1, I need to have 385 blank spaces and then at 387th place I have some other data to follow. I tried a lot to use the export wizard, but it doesn't help. Is there a way to do this? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks,
Hi I created an access with a picture I copied from the internet. When I run the report in Access, I can see the picture but when I export the report to a text file, the picture is lost. Is there anyway I can have the picture everytime I export the report to word format ?
I currently have a query pulling data from a database - I need to now export the data to a text file to import it into a different database. I need the format to be like below. Wondering how I can tell the query to go to the second line and then the third line like below.
I had to delete a database so I exported selected records using export as a text file thinking I would get some sort of delimited text file that I could later use. Instead I got some sort of fixed length file with .............. between records and | between fields.
I'd like to convert this data to a tab delimited file.
I am trying to export a text file to be imported in to excel but whenever I export as fixed width all by number columns get cut to 2 decimal places, does anybody know how to get around this?
I have two tables identical with all text fields within the same database. One table I export as a csv, delimited with commas separating my fields and quotation text qualifiers. Where the fields are blank there are text qualifiers as well ("" - begining and ending quotations). This is what I need. The second table is exporting as a csv, delimited, commas separating the fields with text qualifier as ""- begining and ending quotations, EXCEPT the blank fields are not putting the text qualifier, and I need it.
First Table: *What I need* "142358", "PK", "15132678", "", "123.45"
Second Table: *What I need to fix and do NOT want* "142358", "PK", "15132678", ,"123.45"
I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.
