I use a csv format file for a quality control or QC Report. 2 of the columns are cutting off the data. 1 of them is cutting off at the 100ths position behind the decimal- this I have been able to work around by selecting the column and adding a digit behind the decimal, not the end of the world. I can adjust my macro to include this step. Now for the other column, it is all text I have the column set to wrap text and that doesn't seem to make a difference as the information is not actually coming into the csv any more. I have tried to just manually adjust the column width but that doesn't work as the data is missing all together. This is a new problem that everyone on my team is experiencing all of the sudden. Has Excel made some sort of Update of change? We need this data to show up.
I will add that this data starts as a TXT file and we convert it to a CSV to perform the formatting edits and then Save a copy as a PDF for the office to read/check. This is how we have been doing it for years with no issues until recently.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening?
Thanks

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Can I ask a question ... why are you using CSV as an output format?

Can you provide an example of at least one Excel Record that is causing the problem? Several records (rows of data) would be very helpful.
