Exporting smartlist

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have noticed since we went to GP2013 that when a smartlist is exported to Excel that the information comes over with five zeroes after the decimal point.

I was curious to find out if this could be fixed.

    If you are using a full client add this switch to the dex.ini file. SmartlistEnhancedExcelExport=TRUE.

    Larry,

    As ever, when something changes, it has unintended consequences.  I have seen similar posts in the past several weeks, and have to admit I am coming down more and more on the side of the additional decimal places are a bonus, especially for companies who deal with items tracked to 3 or more decimal places of accuracy in some units of measure.  It all comes down to data quality.  

    Here is a small post on the issue with potential resolutions:

    Additionally, one could use SmartList Builder to create alternative SmartLists, which use a different format for the same fields (i.e. integer with no decimal places).

    You are totally right, I have seen this issue quite often mostly in all the upgrades of Dynamics GP to 2013 version, it is not a bug, but primarily due to the web client.

    Consider this thorough article for explanation and proposed solutions Smartlist and Navigation Lists export currency values with 5 decimals in Excel using Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013
