ints being interpreted as floats

[akbinod]

Thank you for this extension - it is helping a lot :)

My .tab file only contains ints. Some columns are correctly displayed as int, but others are represented as floats with no discernible pattern. I've attached a file with tab separated values - renamed it to .txt since .tab cannot be uploaded.

TIA. sample.txt

@akbinod try our Tabular data viewer and see if you get better results. Just change the default view setrting to Perspective. See: https://github.com/RandomFractals/tabular-data-viewer#settings

Tabular data viewer uses more recent version of Perspective viewer for data display.

Actually, this is the grid view I get in tabular data viewer.

Columns that have 0 on the first row are interpreted as floats by default.

Please include screenshots next time. I will close this ticket as duplicate of #321. There are a few other closed tickets with similar issue due to perspective viewer evaluating data type based on the first row column values.

good news: you can change this in the new Tabular data viewer extension. See how for your sample data below:

Hi Taras

Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, the extension you mentioned is no longer available on the VS Marketplace.

@akbinod you can still install tabular data viewer using vsix package attached to our last release of that extension:
