Issue with CSV Export in Microsoft Excel
Hi Sonali123456
I don't think there's an issue but suspect you open the CSV with Excel. If instead you open it with a Text editor like Notepad you should see something like:
In Excel A2:A5 cells are formatted as Text
Hi Lorenzo
Yaah I already tried that, when I open it as notepad or any text editor, I am able to read my actual values.
but my REST API accepts a CSV file (Read the csv file and upload the data in DB) when I try to provide this csv file as input to my API the value getting saved in DB is '23.2' instead of '23.20'
Hi Sonali123456
So it's not an Excel to CSV issue, it's your API that "tranforms" the values
Do you know if the API would accept, as input, values between simple/double quotes, i.e. '23.20' or "23.20"?
Hi Lorenzo
it's an issue with Excel to CSV conversion. API reads the value as it is mentioned in the csv file.Hi Sonali123456
Same as my post from Feb 06 2024 01:12 PM - I get what you expect - saved as UTF-8 or "classic" CSV (files attached):
But we might not be on the same page. In Welcome to your Excel discussion space! you're asked to provide Excel version + OS. Except if I missed it, you haven't provided this info. yet
