Hello everyone,
I'm importing via script data from a fixed-size TXT file where the columns with numbers have 18 digits (16.2).
The first digit can be 0 or - and the last two digits of the number represent the decimal value.
For example:
000000000000010050 in the text file is equal to 100.50
-00000000002090900 In the text file is equal to -20,909.00
In Excel I just import the file and divide by 100 the value of the columns thus arise decimals.
In QlikView, however, there were some problems due the size of the field = 18 digits.
After some search in the community I´ve found a way to do it:
Num(Evaluate (Number)) / 100
But after using the expresion above, I get more than two decimals places.
For example:
Num (Evaluate (000000000002294097)) / 100 results in 22940.97
However if we go to number tab and change the decimals to 14 we can see more than two decimals: 22940.97000000000100.
Pending the solution
Best regards,
Sergio
I don't think that's an issue, what you see is due to the fact that some floating point numbers can't be stored 100% correct in binary representation.

Thanks! I´m trying now to solve this situation with a function.
