Hi Paul! I am not sure if I can follow. In my few tests Libreoffice exportet interpreted the fixed length as the width of the cell showing in CALC. Unfortunately for me CALC somehow gives a little space to the left when presenting the data and thus in the export there is a space. When I manuall adapt the width and get rid of the little white space in front of my content it exports just fine, without the unnecessary space. But with about 1000-2000 columns manually adapting the width is not an option. In your case it probably added the spaces at the end because your data in the cells is formatted as text (left aligned) while mine are number (right aligned). So I don't see much difference. When you open up the width of the cell, Libreoffice adds many spaces. I'll do some testing with OpenOffice and with the newest version of LibreOffice today. I'll also try to follow your instructions above. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Problem-when-exporting-exporting-from-CALC-to-a-fixed-length-csv-tp3986825p3987052.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
