pentaho报告excel输出-前导'0'被截断

Question

I have a format issue with my pentaho report excel/csv output.

My report output contains zip code column, which has leading zeroes if the zip code length is less than 5. the leading zeroes get truncated when i open the report output in excel file. I used 'textfield' for the zipcode column, i even tried concatenating zeroes in my xaction sql. everything works fine if i open the output in a text editor, but when we open it in excel file the zero got trimmed.

can we prevent this trimming issue or can we use other data fields in design instead of text field.

Answer 1

Change the extension of your csv to .txt so you get Excel's dialogue boxes for importing text files; there you can select the comma as your column delimiter. On the third screen (after you hit "next" twice), there is an option to choose the formatting of each column. Select you zip code column, change it from "General" to "Text" format, and your leading zeroes will be retained.

Answer 2

Answer 3

我不知道它是否合适，但是将字段包含在双引号或您希望使用的单引号中。.引号不会以excel文件格式显示，但会显示在文本板或记事本中。因此您没有添加此多余的东西有任何问题，那么它将解决您的问题。

Answer 4

What is the original data format in your DB? Is it an INT? In your sql statement, try something like this (adjust for the relevant sql dialect, if necessary):

lpad(cast(zip as CHAR(5)),5,'0') zip

where zip is your field name. Then use text-field as you are already doing.
