The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

VBScript to convert CSV file to Excel - number format issue

Asked by WatchoutMac in VB Script

Tags: , ,

Hi,

I have this csv file saved on the c drive as item.csv below is contents of the csv file:
Item Report,,,
id,merchant_date,item_id,amount
20070612005814,2007-06-12,1815918227960176043016,65.00
20070612005814,2007-06-12,1815919623710176043016,182.34
20070612005814,2007-06-12,1815931096710176043016,25.00

When you open the csv file in Notepad it looks fine,however, when opened with Excel the "id" column and "item_id" column display with a scientific notation. I need a VBScript to convert these two columns in a format that is the original view and saved as an excel file. I have tried a bunch of things but am at a loss, below is the script I have been playing with.

'******************************************************
Option Explicit

Dim fldr, f, file,strOrigFile, strFile, fso, strDirectory
Dim objExcel

strOrigFile = "c:\items.csv"
'******************************************************
'CONVERTS THE FILE TO AN EXCEL FILE
'******************************************************
strFile = replace(strOrigFile,".csv",".xls")

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

objExcel.Workbooks.Open strOrigFile

objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strFile, -4143

objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.Application.Quit

'******************************************************
'FORMAT THE EXCEL FILE AND SAVE IT
'******************************************************

objExcel.Workbooks.Open strFile

objExcel.columns("A:A").numberformat="0"
objExcel.columns("C:C").numberformat="0"


objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strFile, -4143

objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.Application.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing

msgbox "FINISHED!!!"

'******************************************************

Now the "id" column looks good but the "item_id" puts all zero's after the 15th digit. I'm not sure how to convert this csv file to excel so that it displays correctly in Excel.Start Free Trial
