RE: bcp to export sql table to excel, how avoid suppress of leading ze

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Pensio,

This is Mark, a SQL Server Engineer. I'm glas to assist you with the issue.

Based on the requirement, please try the following action
1 Please set the column ArticleNumber as TEXT data type in SQL Server.

2 Creating a non-XML format file for Unicode native data.
There is an article to share with
you:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191516.aspx

bcp dataBaseX.dbo.FileToExport nul -T -N -f c:\bcp.fmt

3 run the command
declare @sql varchar(500)
select @sql = 'bcp dataBaseX.dbo.FileToExport out c:\Excel***.xls -f
c:\bcp.fmt -T'
exec master..xp_cmdshell @sql

Then the leading zeros will be seen in the excel ***.

Besides, since the bcp is used to export data out of tables into data
files and the column name is not considered as data, the column name() will
not be copied from SQL Server into data file.

Best regards,
Mark Han
