Positive pay CSV file not respecting number format

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,461

I used this link: https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/axatoz/archive/2019/03/07/d365-positive-pay-file-wells-fargo to create my file for the positive pay format and to do the extension on BankPositivePayExport to replace the default XML-output type with a CSV-output type.

The file is generated as a CSV-file and I am presented with that to save or open.

When I open the file using Notepad, the number formatting is respected. However when I open it in Excel, it throws away the trailing zeroes.

I need to show $30 as 30.00 and it does in notepad, but once opened in Excel, it shows as just: 30.

/* Snippet out of my positive pay file:

 <xsl:variable name="amtdec" select="AMOUNTCUR" />
 <xsl:value-of select="format-number($amtdec, '#.00')" />

1643.pp1.jpg

Opened in Excel:

31327.pp2.jpg

Also look at the 1286.9 that shows in Notepad correct as 1286.90

My whole file:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="www.w3.org/.../Transform"
                xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
                exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl xslthelper"

                xmlns:xslthelper="schemas.microsoft.com/.../xslthelper">

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="''" />
    <Document>
      <xsl:value-of select="''" />

      <xsl:for-each select="Document/BANKPOSITIVEPAYEXPORTENTITY">

        <!--Cheque Detail begin-->
      <xsl:value-of select="ACCOUNTNUM/text()"/>
      <xsl:value-of select='string(",")'/>
      <xsl:value-of select='string("Reg")'/>
      <xsl:value-of select='string(",")'/>
      <xsl:variable name="amtdec" select="AMOUNTCUR" />
      <xsl:value-of select="format-number($amtdec, '#.00')" />
      <xsl:value-of select='string(",")'/>
      <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(CHEQUENUM/text())"/>
      <xsl:value-of select='string(",")'/>
      <xsl:variable name="year" select="substring(TRANSDATE/text(),1,4)" />
      <xsl:variable name="month" select="substring(TRANSDATE/text(),6,2)" />
      <xsl:variable name="day" select="substring(TRANSDATE/text(),9,2)" />
      <xsl:value-of select="concat($day,'/',$month,'/',$year)" />
      <xsl:text>&#13;&#10;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </Document>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

    Hi

    You probably need to format the column in Excel. You might need to configure how many decimal values are displayed. What is the current format in Excel of that column?

    CSV is just text (no formatting), so Excel needs to guess how it should be formatted, and it doesn't always guess right. So you need to tell it what kind of formatting you want.

    As you see in notepad, the number in the file is correct. Your problem is in the formatting settings of Excel (not related to AX or the file), you need to change them for this column.
