    Thanks for the video! It's 2021 and MS still hasn't implemented a simple option to turn off the annoying conversion in general.

    :( Same answer. I need to maintain zero pad on Export TO CSV. I'm about ready to use PHP or something with a decent file reading library just to read row by row and write a CSV FROM an Excel with left zero padding. Kinda unreal to me that the export doesn't allow for something similar on the way out, "Do NOT truncate my values, as seen, when exporting to CSV."

    How do I you numbers longer that 12 digits in .CSV files without showing scientific notation please?
    A Medicare co. has to receive out number in .CSV format.
    I have searched for days. No luck. Every time i reopen the .csv file it goes back to scientific notation.
    I have tried everything. Columns only show 8 digits. My numbers are 10 digits. Thank you all.

      Hi sorry for the late reply. It sounds like you missed a step - start the video at 3:10 and make sure you change the data format to text. You'll have to repeat these steps every time you open the file as Excel will always try to format the fields.

    Hi, Nice one but what about if we want to add price after importing it into excel

    • @DaveHoder
      @DaveHoder 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi you can add anything you want in Excel. If you add to another (blank) column and save the csv, you will see another comma has been added before your new data in each row.

    It does not work on office 2016, what can I do ?

    • @DaveHoder
      @DaveHoder 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The process has changed since I made this video and I'm not certain about 2016. Try this:
      Go to Data > Get & Transform Data > From File > From Text/CSV
      In the preview window top right click the Data Typ Detection dropdown and select "Do not detect data types" then click Transform Data at the bottom
      You should see all columns coming in as text and you can change the data type for each column using the Transform section of the ribbon
      Hope this helps!

      Hi if you save as CSV you won't lose anything. After you save you can check it by opening it in Notepad.

    I can't help but feel Excel should open CSVs this way by default. The number of times I've received a list of account numbers in where half the values have been turned into scientific notation and the international dates have the Day mixed up with the Month makes wonder how much time is wasted globally due to bad software design.

    • @angelsjoker8190
      @angelsjoker8190 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it's a well-known file format. And MS still hasn't implemented a simpler solution to turn off the annoying number conversion.
