    Importing from spreadsheet

    Hi there,

    I´m using ACADE2013.

    When importing from spreadsheet I have inserted some values on the Rating2 attribute that have fractions like 5,2 etc..

    When I import the values back from spreadsheet the value on my drawing are shown with 4 decimals like 5,2000 (see attached image). I´m sure that this has something to do with some settings either in Excel og Autocad Electrical.

    Anyone have a clue what´s causing this behaviour ?

    Thx, regards, Gary

    Hi Gary.

     

    I can't reproduce this here, with AcadE 2013 and Excel 2013 Preview.

    If you try to "force" the value to be a text value and not a numerical value, does this help?
    You can do this by adding an apostrophe in front of the value in excel.

    Like this:

     

    '2,5

    Hi RhesusMinus... and sorry for the late reply.

    Thank´s for the advice but somehow it doesn´t help changing the format  of the cell to a textvalue.

    I´m using Excel 2007 and that might be the cause of this issue.

    I´m seeing some strange issues with ACADE2013 especially regarding database issues for instance when using the import/export utility.

    I´m upgrading soon to a new pc...hopefully these issues will vanish when that´s over :smileyhappy:
