I am trying to generate a CSV file from DB Query as source one of my column is having datatype nvarchar(50) with values as “01050007029604301001”
After the export when the csv file is viewed using Excel the value appears as
“1.0500E18” .
How can i stop this .
Please suggest
That’s Excel treating it as a number – it could be one after all. One workaround is to prefix affected fields with = in your csv file:
becomes
and so on. This will prevent the loss of leading zeros and display the full value with out conversion to scientific notation.
