Numeric variable with 100% density - not all values show

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:30:58 GMT

I have a numeric variable that shows as 100% density. The data is read in as a csv file and is fully populated, however when I create a list box of this variable, a high proportion (circa 85%) of the values are missing.

Has any got any ideas why this would be happening?

Maybe an issue with the decimal symbol. Check if the data are with a comma or a dot, then go to the script and change the setting if it isn't correct.

Thanks for the response.

I have no format on the numbers being read in, there is no decimal point or comma.

Just realized the numbers not showing are being read in like : 3.42E+08

Do you know how to read in as normal numbers?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks, Id tried this but it did nt seem to work.

The field is called pol_ref_c

So I coded:

Load

pol_refc,

Num(Left(pol_refc, Index(pol_refc, 'E') -1) * Pow(10, TextBetween(pol_refc, 'E+', ''))) AS pol_refc_num

I get “-“ in my new field pol_refc_num

Is my coding correct?

Regards

Lee
