Hello all, I have isolated this case to tFileInputExcel component that just refuses to read values after "000". For example: the following value reads fine: 9.001 but the following 9.0001 reads in as 9 I have tried quiet a few things to get this to work without any luck. I'm attaching the screenshots and a link to Talend job and sample excel file. Feel free to download entire thing from here: http://db.tt/p7LzArAu I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64 Bit. I'm using TOS-All-r63143-V4.2.2
Is there a solution to this issue yet?
I have a similar problem in TOS 5.2.1, with the 'Read real values for numbers' checked, but TOS seems to round up values if the forth digit after the decimal point is >= 5. That is 0.9995 and above is rounded up to 1.0, although i have the length set to 12 and precision set to 6.
I have tried using float (which is really what i want), bigDecimal and double - but same issue.
The JXL library is not the best. I recommend using Apache POI. This library is bullet proof and work well with both: xls and xlsx.
In the component suite tFileExcelWorkbookOpen, tFileExcelSheetInput and some more, the latest Apache POI library is used. Both components are available in Talend Exchange. I suggest trying them.
By the way, reading numbers should not depend on a display format, the mentioned components read the real value and does not use the formatting pattern for reading - if you use in your schema a Double or BigDecimal.
