3072173 - Exponential values display for numeric fields after converting reports from MS SQL Server to SnowFlake database in Crystal Reports

• Number shows in exponential values.
• Before setting the report data source from MS SQL Server to SnowFlake, reports displayed  the numeric values as expected.
• After converting reports connecting to MS SQL Server to Snowflake database, numeric values show in Exponential format in Crystal Reports.

• SAP Crystal Reports 2016
• SAP Crystal Reports 2020

1. In Crystal Reports, create a report based on MS SQL Server
2. Insert numeric fields on the report.
3. When viewing the report, the numeric fields show values, like: 2.01, -1.01, ...
4. Perform a set data source location to SnowFlake database.
5. When refreshing the report, the numeric show up in exponential values.

• Numeric fields in the database are converted from DECIMAL field type in MS SQL Server, to Double type in SnowFlake, which causes the numeric values to display an exponential value.
