Hi

 

I want to know why this happens so I can correct it in the feature. I attached the example file "Excel" containing only one row so you can test for yourselfs.

 

In Excel both coordinates have comma.

excelWhen I use Excel Reader in FME it changes only attribute value for attribute aa to a dot. But for bb its still a comma.

fme_excelThis is maybe why I cant create a point using vertex creator, even tho I use string-replacer to change both values to dot or comma it refuses to create a point.

This happens fairly often so It would be nice to know what cause this issue and how I can solve it.

 

It might be a bug or something to do with Excel. If I create a new excel file and manually enter every value then it suddenly works. But this is not something I can do with an Excel containing thousands of rows.

 

Iam using Fme 2020.2.5.0 Build 20827 - WIN64

 

 

 

Hi @essb​ 

 

I used the transformer StringReplacer for replacer all attributes that has " , " change automatically for " . " .

 

After I used the transformer AttributeTrimmer for elimate spaces into attributes:

Workspace_String 

Attached the Workspace template (.FMWT ).

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Danilo
