Hi,
I have a question,
I'm exporting my object using macro, i have a data like this
- 4.250 (3 decimal) when exported become 4.25 (2 decimal)
- 4,500. when exported become 4500 (no comma)
Is it possible to keep the original value from the object when object are exported using macro ?
Here is the details of my macro
'// ****************************************************************

sub exportToExcel_MultiObj

aryExport(1,1) = "Object2"
aryExport(1,2) = "A2"
aryExport(1,3) = "data"
aryExport(2,0) = "OBJ3"
aryExport(2,1) = "Object3"
aryExport(2,2) = "A2"

Really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance
Its the Property of the excel ..try to change the number format i.e. decimal points to 3
and another way is to change the number column format in Qlikview to text and then export the same
Hope this helps you.
The reason is the "own-intelligence" from excel which interpreted the copied data and there is not much what you could do in the case the result isn't suitable. One could be to format the pasting-area before you paste the data (especially within a text-format) and another is not to use copy + paste else to write the data cell by cell - but it's not easy and has other disadvantages like loosing the layouts (which of course could be restored with macros ...).

Hi Avinash, thanks for your reply, but sorry, i still don't get the idea.
Can you explain step by step how to solve it ?
When i exported using right click --> send to excel, number format work perfectly. But when i'm using macro to export, it isn't work.
Thanks
