Why are numbers out of excel transferred into Moco without comma?


Userlevel 1

Hi there,

i’m trying to transfer expenses out of excel into Moco (our Project-Management-Tool). The zap itself works but the numbers that are created in Moco are way too high. For example if it says 67,34 in my excelsheet there’s 6734 in Moco. It seems there’s some trouble regarding the comma. Does anyone have a solution for that? :) 

Regards,

Svea

Appears MOCO ignores the comma in the number.

That might be due to the number format you are using.

MOCO may expect numbers as decimals.

 

You can try this in the Zap (or via Excel formula)…

Formatter > Text > Replace (replace comma with empty) [16,8 > 168]

Formatter > Number > Perform Math Operation (divide by 100) [168 / 100 = 16.8]
