Default I am trying to convert a signed packed field in Excel. Is there .

I'm trying to pull mainframe data into an excel spreadsheet, but the data has
packed signed data and I can't seem to find a formula that will do the
conversion. If you know of a way of doing this please help.

Can you post some examples of your packed signed data and how you
would like them to be interpreted?

Use the mainframe to convert to IEEE notation.
Or if the program is COBOL get the data out as strings (text)
best wishes

Hi,

Hope you are talking about comp-3 data in mainframe. You can write a sort
card in mainframe itself and then convert that value as you want using
editing characters, and then you can download to excel.

Regards,
Soundar.
