Save As... results in #######
I am saving a worksheet as a CSV (Tab delimited would be fine too), but there are a few cells that contain greater than 255 characters. I can change the column width to 255 maximum, but ### still shows in the cell display. When I do the Save As... operation, my text file contains #####s for those cells. I did a quick search to find that this has been a problem for a while, but no leads on a solution. Is there another option? version: Excel 2000 -- hurdler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hurdler's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1915 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=467217 |

If you change the format to General, does it work ok?

Excel has trouble with cells formatted as Text when the contents have a length
between 255 and 1024. That doesn't explain why, but I thought I'd add it <vbg. hurdler wrote: YES! changing the long cell to General format cleared up the export/Save As... issue I dont quite get it, but if it works fine. thanks much, -- hurdler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hurdler's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1915 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=467217 -- Dave Peterson |
