No way to convert String to Double in a column (in Excel : this column has : SUM) Talend refuse

Hello

 

Sorry, i come again back. I am going to try to explain clearly my problem. 

I have a column in Excel : =+S3+N3+I3+X3+AC3   ==> 1 530 618 (for first line )

Same thing for the following lines with the sum.

 

I must get back this column in Talend. So, i put this as Double (or Long but it stays the same) in input and output in tMap.(and tLogRow for check if all is going)

But Talend refuse and said that it is in String.

So, I did "Double.parseDouble(row1.Example)" or "Long.parseLong(row1.Example)"

So.....I talk with my colleague and he doesn't know how to resolve that. I need this column for Excel Output.

The reason you are getting this is because your Excel number configurations do not match your system ones. The easiest way to resolve this is to ensure that your Excel file is set to use the System number formats. This is similar to the problem you had before.

If that helps you...

 

I want Customer Name & DELIVERED_YEAR (with sum in formula Excel). The other DELIVERED works very well , without spaces in Talend.

Well, I check Excel file, and in settings Number, there is "thousand separator" which is marked. 

I delete this and no more spaces after.

On talend, it works finally. Only on this column, and the other column have marked thousand separator on Excel and Talend can read that with no matter at all.

It stays mysterious for me....

 Yes, i found a solution but not with Talend. In Excel, i should deselect thousand separator in Number format in the column which raised problem. And after no more spaces. In Talend, I was able to put in double.

 

But in other column in Excel, there are thousand separator with spaces and it works very well except this column. It stays mysterious
