Numbers in Downloaded Crosstab Are Displayed in Scientific Notation

게시 일자: Apr 13, 2024
상세 설명
When using Microsoft Excel to view a CSV file created by downloading a crosstab from Tableau Server, numeric strings containing more than 11 characters are displayed in scientific notation. 

Cause

Excel displays numeric strings containing more than 11 characters in scientific notation. You can read more about this Excel behavior in the following Microsoft Community discussion: Excel csv files converting long numbers to scientific notation.
솔루션
Opening the CSV file using a text editor, such as Notepad or Sublime, would show all of the numeric characters in the affected columns.

To change the behavior in Excel, import the data from the CSV file (instead of just opening the file). For example:
  1. Open Excel and create a new blank workbook.
  2. Select the Data menu > From Text/CSV.
  3. Select the CSV file > Import.
  4. On the preview dialog, check to see if the data is displayed correctly. If the data displayed is still incorrect, click Transform.
  5. In Power Query Editor, select the affected column, and then select the Transform menu > Data Type > Text > Replace current.
  6. Select the Home menu > Close & Load.
