Hello to all,
I have the following problem:
I load a table from a SQL Server text field whose length reaches to 1000 characters
When I export to Excel the field is filled with '###### characters'
Why is this happening? Is there a way to say that the length of the field can be up to 1000 characters?
Thank to all
Marino,
Are you clarify this..
If yes, Please close this Thread .... Or else Please raise the issue ...
You can try loading like below
LOAD *,
trim(mid(Field,1,1000)) as Field
.....
FROM table
Convert it in SQL itself
Thank you
but it does not work.
I felt when unloading the table from SQL servere to put the statement
LTRIM (SUBSTRING (DO30_DESCART, 1.1000)) AS DO30DESCART
but not work.
The '###### characters mean only that the content didn't fit within the column-width. So you have the possibility to extend the column-width and/or the row-height and/or to enforce a line-breaks. Did you have anywhere a problem with this in qlikview?

No, I had this problem only on some lines.
It can be a character ASCII particular?
If yes, how can I find out which is it?
Marino,
Can you please check the length of Each cell / Share that Excel..
LEN(Text of Cell) -- LEN(A2)
Please Find that, Length is came or not. So that we can get idea of that...
Updated : I have 2740 Characters. Such time you have to select the column and then WrapText.
You will get idea... Please find Attachment ...
If I'm not sure about some characters I copy them within a editor like notepad ++ to check if there is anything noticeable.

Hello Anil .
Yes, so it works. I tried it once.
Then, in your opinion, the problem is in Excel and not QLW?
