When extracting azure dev ops query to excel as .csv file I am seeing the data in excel but all is in one cell. For example description and title are all in one cell in the column/row.
Just guessing as your description is pretty vague but I assume that the CSV column separator set on your system (probably a semicolon) does not match the column identifier used in the downloaded CSV file (most likely a comma).
To fix it:
Windows
Open the Windows Start Menu and click Control Panel
Open the Regional and Language Options dialog box
Click the Regional Options tab
Click Customize/Additional settings (Windows 10)
Type a comma into the 'List separator' box (,)
Click 'OK' twice to confirm the change
Note: This only works if the 'Decimal symbol' is also not a comma. If you do not want to change this setting, there is another method to opening comma delimited files below.
MacOS
Go to System Preferences
Open the Language & Region pane and go to the Advanced option
Change the 'Decimal Separator' to one of the below scenarios

I have tried the registry edit here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-to-disable-hyperlink-warnings-for-office-365/9e96cae1-0960-4f20-898c-440cafd6cf7c
. I notice that my decimal 1 always reverts back to hexidecimal when I close. Upon restart nothing changes when I try to open the hyperlink in excel.
0 and 1 are exactly the same decimal and Hex, see here and here
The solution that is described in the link above (adding DisableHyperlinkWarning to the win registry) might not always work.
This solution should stop hyperlink warnings in Excel for Office 365:
Download Procmon (a monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time process/thread activity):
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processmonitor.aspx
Run Procmon.exe
Toggle Capture Events to off (File > Capture Events)
Clear the current events (Edit > Clear Display)
Toggle Capture Events on.
Click the desired hyperlink in Excel.
Turn Capture Events off.
Filter by Process=EXCEL.EXE (Filter > Filter, chose "Process" from the list, set field to "is", type "EXCEL.EXE" in the empty field, chose "Include" from the list and click "Add".)
Filter also by Operation=RegQueryValue and Result=NAME NOT FOUND
Find the first entry with "EditFlags" in the path (use the search icon to search the filtered list or CTRL+F)
Right click on that entry and select > Jump to (opens registry)
9 Add a new DWORD type named EditFlags with the hexadecimal value 10000.
In my case it was the key htmlfile_FullWindowEmbed
Modified from here
Is it changing back after restarting? if so, maybe you have some policy on your PC.
EDIT:
"The option to switch between the two is purely to allow entry in either format, it is always stored in Hex and for convenience the Decimal value is shown in brackets afterward in the field view
Selecting either option would have absolutely no effect on the program accessing the value and is the same either way."

The simplest solution is to use Outlook. For example, if you want to cancel the reminder when opening the embedded pptx file, you can send yourself an email with the pptx file attachment in Outlook. After receiving it, double-click the attachment to open it, and a dialog box will pop up. The following There is a check box, "Always ask before opening this type of file", uncheck it, click Open, and there will be no warning when the embedded link of this type of file is opened in ppt or excel. This method also works for other types of files. There are some settings between office components that are related to each other.
I've pasted into an excel file lots of number such as 43:11 or 22:06. These represent goals scored and goals against. However excel is recognising them as dates and times. I want it so that I have two columns with 43 and then 11 for example, instead of 43:11. Whatever I have tried it has become confused because it things of it as a time. I've tried formatting as text, numbers etc. Any ideas?
This will work in Excel 2016 (other versions have the same functionality but the menus may be slightly different):
Copy your numbers to the clipboard
In Excel, select the Home ribbon
Click the downward arrow under the Paste button (the leftmost icon on the ribbon).
Select Use Text Import Wizard
Wizard appears. Make sure Delimited is checked and My data has headers is not checked.
Click Next.
In the Delimiters group, uncheck Space, check Other and in the box next to it type :
Click Finish
If you are typing values into a cell, then format the cell as Text before typing. If you are importing material from an external source, then tell the Import Wizard that the field containing these values is Text.
I am exporting a small file, 8mb from SQL developer to xlsx.
It is taking forever (freezing). I ran the same query in Toad and exported it with no issues.
Any idea on why developer doesn't seem to be working right?
Why does it show the log also?
It used to never show this.
Also, I used to be able to double click on a word in the SQL and it would highlight all the same values. It does not do that anymore.
What setting can fix that?
As of being unable to export data in XLSX format: try to export to a CSV file; Excel opens it easily so - if it works OK, just save the file to Excel format once you have data in it.
As of highlighting all occurrences of the selected word: enter "Search" mode (Ctrl + F). A search toolbar opens on a top of the editor window. Check toolbar buttons (point each of them with a mouse and hold it for a second, until the tooltip appears) - one of these (on my 17.3 version, it is a "yellow-ish" button) is the "Highlight Occurrences". I presume that it is disabled in your SQL Develoeper, so - enable it.
In Microsoft excel Formulas involve the use of commas for separation of formula constitutes like (lookup_value, table_array, in lookups). This is the norm.
However mine is asking to input semicolons as separators (lookup_value;table_array; and so on)
what should i do?
Try the following by changing local regional settings in Windows:
Go to Control Panel -> Region and Language.
In the first tab click on Additional settings button.
Look for List separator and change it to a comma(,)
Open and close Excel.
I have some data of form
[39645961,-79966658]358920045121212[0.75]2013-01-30 20:47:52
[39646124,-79966771]358920045121212[0.5]2013-01-30 20:47:54
[39646134,-79966733]358920045121212[0.5]2013-01-30 20:47:56
[39646123,-79966723]358920045121212[0.5]2013-01-30 20:47:58
[39646144,-79966724]358920045121212[0.5]2013-01-30 20:48:09
......
How can I import them into an excel file into separate columns. like
39645961 -79966658 358920045121212 0.75 2013-01-30 20:47:52
39646124 -79966771 358920045121212 0.5 2013-01-30 20:47:54
39646134 -79966733 358920045121212 0.5 2013-01-30 20:47:5
Any ideas?
If it's not too frequent task:
Copy-paste the text to Excel (will occupy one column)
Data - Text to Columns (Excel 2003)
Delimiters: Comma and Other: ]
After completing the operations, insert a column after the remaining non-splitted fragment (358920045121212[0.75) and repeat Text to Columns for this column only with Other delimiter as [.
1) Copy the data into a text file, like Notepad.
2) Use find and replace to replace bracket characters with a tab character.
You can not directly type a tab character into the replace field, because it will just move your cursor to the next field. To get around this:
Open another Notepad window and press tab, then copy the tab into the replace field of the original Notepad window. Hit replace and repeat this process with space and comma characters.
3) Save and close the notepad file.
4) Open the notepad file in Excel. (choose file, open, and don't forget to change the file type in the open dialog from "All Excel Files" to "All Files"
5) This will open the Text Import Wizard. Hit next, next and finished, and the data should show up in separate columns
If you want to do it strictly in Excel, you will have to extract the individual data elements from each string using a combination of text functions, including SEARCH or FIND, LEFT, MID and RIGHT. The following formulas show one wqy to extract each element from one of the strings, which I have assumed is in A1.
=MID(A1,2,SEARCH(",",A1)-2)
=MID(A1,SEARCH(",",A1)+1,SEARCH("]",A1)-SEARCH(",",A1)-1)
=MID(A1,SEARCH("]",A1)+1,SEARCH("]",A1)+SEARCH("[",MID(A1,SEARCH("]",A1),99))-SEARCH("]",A1)-2)
=MID(A1,SEARCH("[",A1,2)+1,SEARCH("]",MID(A1,SEARCH("[",A1,2)+1,99))-1)
=MID(A1,SEARCH("????-??-??",A1),10)
=RIGHT(A1,8)
You would enter these formulas horizontally to the right of A1, then copy them down.
There is a much simpler way - use a third party piece of software.
The one I used costs me very little for the year, but means i don't need to mess around with trying to get it right.
Its the only tool i found which isn't a monthly subscription as well.
Its a desktop based application.
