Result export format

Post by Ozren »

Hi,

I'm having problem dusring export of result tables into excel.
When I copy it (or export it) percentage data is always in following format:
(number before decimal point)(decimal point)(number after decimal point)(questionmark in box)(percentage sign)
Like this: 20.2[?]%

My question is:
1. is there a way to remove [?] so it is not show in results export?
2. can I set-up results so the that decimole point in actualy a comma (,), since I'm in europe?

I'm using latest stable version and this has been replicated on 10 PC-s

Thank you
Ozren

hi ozren,

what you describe is unusual. this is what happens for me:

perhaps you could provide a screenshot or video? this may be specific to versions of excel.

Sure thing.
Here is the link to snip. I've marked in it all relevant info

Also if you have a way to replace dots (.) with commas (,) for decimal places, that would be great.

Everything else (for now), works flawlessly and I love the fluidity and perfect CX

excelent, I see it's already completed :)
thank you very much Jonathon.

One last thing, is there a possibility to change marking of decimals from points to commas?

we support commas as a decimal place marker in many places ... importing files, etc. etc. but we presently don't support that as a display option.

having said that, if we did have a comma display option, and someone was copying from jamovi, the 'correct behaviour' would be for us to send content to the clipboard in a standard format (and the standards are always dots for decimal place delimeters). it would then be the job of the software which is pasted into, to parse that standard content, apply it, and then display it in the format the user wants.

i suspect that's not what excel does ...
