I am unable to change the format in cells in numbers

Every time I change the cell format in numbers, it keeps going back to 12/30/11 when I want 2/1/12. It is quite frustrating because I did what it said to do. Can someone please help me to change the format.
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
A few questions:
Which version of Numbers are you using?
Are the cells formatted as date and time? If yes, which date format?
What separator are you using between the day/month/year in the cell?
Are you using a formula to calculate additional dates (e.g. adding +7 to create a list of dates one week apart?)
This example of date format choices is from Numbers '09

Changing the format mask of a numberic field in a report

Hi,
I'm fethcing some numeric values from the DB and displaying them in the report. I'd like to use comma as the decimal separator but I can't get it to work. I'm very lost with all the NLS settings. I've tried using the format mask ad '9999990D00' but it still displays as dot as the decimal separator. What do I have to do in order to use comma as the decimal separator?
Thanks

Try putting
SRW.DO_SQL('alter session set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='', ''');
in the Before Report Trigger.
The setting might be reused for the next report if Reports is set to reuse the database connection.
To avoid this, I guess you change it back to default in the After Report Trigger.
Hope this helps!

How to change the format of a cell in a web report

Hello experts,
Is it possible to implement this in a Web Report/BEx query?
We have a list of products grouped into Company A and Company B. One key figure is for example Net Cost Price.
We need to highlight the lowest net cost price in every company but with a different colour depending on the company assuming prices are sorted in ascending order.
We have been recommended to use Web Design Api for Tables but we understand that in order to format a cell content we need to know the axis position of the cell but we don't know how many rows the query will display for every company. Is this kind of requirements only possible with "static" reports where we know exactly the number of rows and columns that are going to be displayed?
This is an example.
COMPANY      PRODUCTS    NET COST PRICE
Company A    Product 1    <b>5</b>
             Product 2    10
Company B    Product 1    <b>10</b>
             Product 2    20
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Inma

Hi Inma,
If you have already not solved your problem , you can try the following solution with table interface class.
Table interface class generates HTML table row by row so it first process the charecterstics and then KFs .
You define a attribute(type public) in class and set that attribute to X (In CHARECTERSTIC menthod)when ever the company code changes.
Then make use of that flag in DATA method to change the format of cell (Assuming you sorted by Ascending).
hope this helps.

Thanks
Paresh

Hi Paresh,
You can proceed with deleting your SAP system from SMSY (along with connected technical content such as AS Java definition) and the run the LANDSCAPE FETCH through transaction SMSY_SETUP to have the correct definition of your SAP system in SMSY.
Following this, you could use the addon Landscape Verification (a new thing I learnt today!!!) to check the correctness of transaction SMSY. The following link details the Landscape verification 1.0 for SolMan:

Hope this helps sort out your issue.

I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password. I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists. How can I update my phone?

I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s. How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change. I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

How can i change the Format of my DATE column?

I need to change the date format for a whole column. At present i can do MM-DD-YYYY. I need to change this this to DD-MMM-YYYY.
I know about the to_date function, i tried to apply it to change the format of my whole column by doing the following.....
CREATE TABLE "IT220_DATEHOLIDAY"
"DEPARTID" VarChar(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"HOLCODE" VARCHAR2(2)NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DEPARDATE" DATE,
to_date('DATE','DD-MMM-YYYY'), <<<change DATE column to DD-MMM-YYYY
CONSTRAINT "DATEHOLIDAY_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("DEPARTID") ENABLE
ORA-00902: invalid datatype <<<<This was the error message i received.
I am aware that the to_date function is supposed to be used to change strings into a certain format. I guess this means you cant do it with columns? Is there anyway i can format the whole column or do i have to do each string of data entered one by one?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Jay,
I'm not sure you hit the right forum, as this doesn't seem to be a problem with APEX.
Anyway:
You can't use that function on a table like that, and as you already suggested, the to_date-function expects a string value.
It seems you also have a misunderstanding of the basic datatypes in the database. DATE is such a datatype and is stored an internal format you don't need to care about. Each time your request the value, the database will give you a string representation according to either your locale or you give a certain formatting mask.
The same applies to insert or update operations: you hand in either a variable of type DATE or use a function like to_date to create an "object" of type date.
You may be interested in reading the documentation of the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/toc.htm]Oracle Database Concepts. The section concerning datatype DATE can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16508/tablecls.htm#CBBGJHJC
An overview of formatting options can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/sql_elements004.htm#SQLRF00212
So to answer your question: You would format it as part of your insert operation, taking a string and convert it using to_date.

Unable to change the entries in SM30

Hi all,
In my program i am inserting records using MODIFY DBTAB.
COMMIT WORK.
After the prog execution i hv to change the entries in the DBTAB.
I am unable to change the created records.
Can u pls explain me what is happening here?
Thanks in advance
Praveen

To be able to use SM30 to modify any data in a database table you need to have a maintenance dialog generated for that table.
If you have one generated depending on the type of the dialog (maintenance allowed with restrictions) you will still not be able to modify the data.
If you need to change data through SM30 you should either create (or change to maintenance allowed without restrictions) and regenerate the table maintenance dialog. Make sure that the existing dialog doesn't have any customization to it because that will all be lost after regeneration.
The other option to change the data is would be through SE16 and debugger or through a program.
Hope that helps,
Michael

I changed the format to an external drive and lost everything that was on it.

I changed the format on an external hard drive and lost everything that was on it. Is there a way to recover what was on it?

1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
2) Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
a) Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
b) Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method: http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function. FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

How can I use single hard drive for both Mac OS and Windows without changing the formats and reformatting?

I have a windows PC and a Macbook Air and a 1TB external hard drive. They said in order to transfer large files into the hard drive you have to change the format of your hard drive (which would be from MS-DOS to Mac Os extended) so how can I use my external hard drive on my windows PC without reformatting its files? Please heeeelp

Natively Windows can read and write to NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT while the Mac can read and write to FAT32, exFAT, and MacOS Extended.
Option 1: You can purchase driver software for Windows to allow it to read and write Mac's MacOS Extended or you can purchase a driver to allow the Mac to read and write to NTFS.
Option 2: you can format the hard drive for exFAT and use it with both Windows and the Mac without purchasing any special drivers. (Obviously the 4GB file size limit is why you don't want to use FAT32)

I am unable to change the admin account

Hello, I'm unable to change my Administrator password.
Computer model: MacBook Pro (mid 2012), not Retina.
OS: OS X Mountain Lion.
There's a network account server in my settings.
Admin account info: Admin, Managed, Mobile.
I have tried to change the password via System Settings and via Terminal (passwd command line).
When I try to change it in the Terminal, it just echoes out "passwd: general failure".

Oh, okay.
I was once able to change the password, and then I changed the password of my account in their Microsoft Exchange Server.
And after that, I was unable to change the password on my Mac.
