Decimal precision changes when exporting to Excel

Hello,

I have a tabular chart having numeric field column with decimal precision set to 1; originally decimal precision of that field is 5 decimals.

When I export this tabular chart to Excel, it shows decimal precision as 1 in Cell value, however, in Formula bar it is showing decimal precision as 5 which is confusing Business users.

For eg:

Original value in Source = 3.62931

Qlikview value = 3.6

Excel Cell value = 3.6

Excel formula bar = 3.62931

Kindly suggest a solution.

Thank you.

use ceil() or floor() with precision parameter.

There is no difference in those values: QlikView and Excel show and store the same thing in this case.

Both QlikView and Excel have a default format to display values, that you can modify in QlikView going to the chart properties in the Numbers tab, or even document wise in the Settings > Document Properties > Number (so you don't have to go chart by chart) and in Excel right clicking on the cell Format Cell > Number etc.

But if you do want to change the precision, use the Round() function in QlikView so it stores actually a rounded value. The Num() function does not affect to what it is stored, but to what it is displayed. So using the Num() function could show different values in QlikView than in Excel.
