Removing Thousands separator

Hi all,
I edit the Comet website and get Sailwave files passed onto me by our Results Sec. However these files include numbers in the thousands and are displayed with a comma to separate the thousands off. To save space I, once imported into Excel, have to edit all of the effected cells and reformat the number to ‘No thousands separator’ which can be a pain.

Is it possible to display numbers with No thousands separator to start off with?

Thanks
Nigel

Hi Nigel,

  I am sorry I do not understand what you are saying is it possible

to show examples please?

Which numbers appearing with a comma in numbers greater than 999.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hi,

For example 10,000 which I then edit to 10000 in Excel but if I can get the Results Sec to set up Sailwave so as not to use a comma to start off with then it’s a win, win situation.

Hi Nigel,

  I understand what a comma separator in 1000's is. What I was

looking for you to supply is an example output from Sailwave that
has a comma separator in numbers greater than 999.

Also a copy of the Sailwave file would be useful.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hi Nigel,

  Thank you for  the extra detail it is helpful. I now understand

your situation.

  I have never seen this as I have never had a circumstance where

Total and/or Net points exceed 999.

  I have just run a quick test and confirm what you are seeing.

Currently I am not aware of any setting in Sailwave that can
switch a 1000’s comma separator on or off.

  It is something possibly for the enhancement list but a rare

requirement I would suggest.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hi Nigel,

If you really want to remove the “,” from the thousands you should be able to create a publishing effect which would do that.
