Hello,
I noticed that when I am exporting from Toad Data Point (3.7.1.1011 Base Edition) to excel that Null values in Toad were registering at Not Null in Excel. This is a significant issue since users were pivoting and counting off of the data and expected the blank cells the actually be blank.
I tried doing a simple test (select null as test from dual) just to make sure that this was an issue with the export process and the results of this test are consistent.
- The Trim function in Excel and SQL does not fix the problem
- Trunc in SQL does fix the problem but cannot be used consistently since some of the fields are datetime
- Crystal reports correctly recognize and exports the nulls as null to Excel instances
Is there a setting that I am missing that changes how Nulls get exported?
Thank you
