Home Forums SQL Server 2008 SQL Server Newbies Decimal separator missed when pasting into excel from sql query RE: Decimal separator missed when pasting into excel from sql query

  • Since SSMS is designed to inherit that kind of thing from Windows, I think the only solution would be to run SSMS in a virtual computer, with the localization set on that. Seems like overkill for this, but it should get the job done.

    Of course, another solution would be to build an add-on for SSMS that would do this kind of thing. Should be possible. After all RedGate built add-ons for SSMS, as do many other companies. Not sure that solves the problem for you, but if there are really thousands of people who need this (and it makes sense that there are at least thousands), then that might be a good product with a real market and might make someone some real money if they can get it working.
