Numbers 09 - R1C1 notation

New to numbers, but have been using spreadsheets since the beginning and stuck with R1C1 notation all along. This must have some up before, but was wondering if we could ever expect R1C1 formula / cell reference notation in numbers. Would really help. Thanks.

As far as I know, this format is unavailable in Numbers

How can I get Numbers 3.2 to recognise 1e-5 as scientific notation?

I just changed from Numbers '09 (2.3) to Number 3.2 on Mavericks (OS X 10.9.3) and the new version doesn't seem to recognise "e" or "E" as scientific notation. When I set the cell format to scientific and type "0.0015", Numbers returns "1.5×10^-03". I would however prefer to obtain "1.5e-3". And vice versa: if, after setting the cell format to scientific, I type "1.5e-3", it automatically formats the cell as text and I can't get it to recognise it as scientific notation. With "E" instead of "e", the problem is exactly the same. Does anyone know how I can change this setting? I already tried to search for an answer to my question, but couldn't find anything...

if, after setting the cell format to scientific, I type "1.5e-3", it automatically formats the cell as text and I can't get it to recognise it as scientific notation.
I can't duplicate the problem here, either when the cells are formatted as Automatic or as Scientific:
When you type 1.5e-3 are you making sure not to enter a space after the e? (When I type a space the cell automatically formats as Text.)

Problem: program outputs numbers in scientific notation

my problem is that my program outputs the population in scientific notation instead of round the number to the nearest one. ex: it should say 30787949.57 instead of 3.078794957 E7
// Calculates the poulation of Mexico City from 1995 to 2018.
// displays the year and population
class PopulationCalculator {
static double r2(double x) {
     //this method rounds a double value to two decimal places.
double z=((double)(Math.round(x*100)))/100;
return z;
} //end method r2
public static void main(String args[]) {
     double population=15600000.0;
     double rate=0.03;
     System.out.println("Mexico City Population, rate="+r2(rate));
     System.out.println("Year    Population");
     for (int year=1995; year<=2018;year++) {
         System.out.println(year+ "    "+r2(population));
    population+=rate*population;
    }//end for loop
    System.out.println("The population of Mexico City reaches 30 million on 02/13/17 at 5:38:34am");
    }//end main
    }//end PopulationCalculator

A: problem: program outputs numbers in scientific notation

Or upgrade to JDK 5.0 and user the new java.util.Formatter capability.
You control the rounding and get localization of the fomatted string at
no extra charge. A quick example:
class A {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double d = 30787949.57d;
        System.out.println(java.lang.String.format("%,17.2f", d));
}Example output for three different locales:
$ javac -g A.java
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR   java A
    30 787 949,57
$ LC_ALL=en_NZ   java A
    30,787,949.57
$ LC_ALL=it_IT     java A
    30.787.949,57For more information, refer to:

Prevent large numbers from becoming scientific notation on CSV import

Hi, I'm importing contacts in a .CSV file into iWork Numbers and it takes a 12-digit phone number from a guy in the UK and turns it into scientific notation. So something like 447729803988 becomes 4.4772E+11 which obviously loses some important digits. Is there a way to force Numbers to treat all fields as text on import so it doesn't drop this critical data? thanks
Sean

scrollin,
Your digits are all there. Just format those cells to either Text or Number. Leading zeros do tend to get lost unless you pre-format to text. You can force the cell format to text on the fly by prefixing your input with a single-quote.
Regards,
Jerry

How can I set up engineering notation in numbers '09?

I am taking some electronics courses in college and need to be able to use engineering notation ie: 1E-3, 9E6, etc. How can I best set this up in Numbers '09? All of my entries are automatically being formated as scientific notation (not multiples of 3) and the only other option I can find is just standard numbers. Thank you for your assistance.

Good Evening All,
eBomber's solution works if the OP has Excel (but as Jerry noted, the OP has not responded, so we are talking amongst ourselves).
Jerry's solution, using LEFT() works.
I found this works, using RIGHT() to grab the exponents of the straight Scientific value and Scientific divided by 10 and 100. (No need to consider the + or - of the exponent at this stage). Then find MOD(<each exponent>, 3) and test with IF() to see which MOD is zero (i.e. which exponent is an exact multiple of 3). Then grab the relevant ("Engineering") value from Columns B, C or D.
In Cell E2 and Filled Down:
=IF(MOD(RIGHT(B2,2),3)=0,B2,IF(MOD(RIGHT(C2,2),3)=0,C2,IF(MOD(RIGHT(D2,2),3)=0,D 2,"")))
Hide Columns B, C and D for a neat look.
Regards,
Ian.

Indian notation of numbers for ease

Guys,
I've seen people facing problem with recognizing lakh and other Indian notation of numbers in this forum. This may help you in that.
Generally Indian count changes every two digits after thousand. Like 100 thousand is a lakh and 100 lakhs is a crore.
1 Lakh = 1,00,000 -->(1/10)th of Million in West
1 Crore = 1,00,00,000 -->10 Millions in WestYou can observe the commas after every two digits unlike western form for every 3 digits.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Sarma.

External table.How to load numbers (decimal and scientific notation format)

Hi all, I need to load inside an external table records that contain 7 fields. The last field is called AMOUNT and it's represented in some records with the decimal format, in others records with the scientific notation format as, for example, below:
CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11200100;'60800;CYZ900;41380,77
The External table's script is the following:
CREATE TABLE HYP_DATA
COUNTRY VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
YEAR VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
PERIOD VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
ACCOUNT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
DEPT VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
ACTIVITY_LOC VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
AMOUNT VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY HYP_DATA_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
BADFILE 'HYP_BAD_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'HYP_DISCARD_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.dsc'
LOGFILE 'HYP_LOG_DIR':'HYP_LOAD.log'
SKIP 0
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ";"
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
"COUNTRY" Char,
"YEAR" Char,
"PERIOD" Char,
"ACCOUNT" Char,
"DEPT" Char,
"ACTIVITY_LOC" Char,
"AMOUNT" Char
LOCATION (HYP_DATA_DIR:'Total.txt')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
NOPARALLEL
NOMONITORING;
If, for the field AMOUNT I use the datatype VARCHAR (as above), the table is loaded but I have some records rejected, and all these records contain the last field AMOUNT with the scientific notation as:
CY001_STATU;2009;Jan;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
CY001_STATU;2009;Feb;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
CY001_STATU;2009;Mar;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
CY001_STATU;2009;Dec;11220020GR;'03900;CYZ900;-9,99999999839929e-03
All the others records with a decimal AMOUNT are loaded correctly.
So, my problem is that I NEED to load all the records (with the decimal and the scientific notation format) together (without records rejected), but I don't know which datatype I have to use for the AMOUNT field....
Anybody has any idea ???
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Alex

Probem with numbers in scientific notation

Hi, I Have a problem and I don�t know how to be solved this.
I have a array of array ( String a[ ][ ] ) with numbers, but this numbers are like 2.48e+08
I need to copy the values of the String a [ ] [ ] into other Double b [ ] [ ] . So I do:
String a [ ][ ] = new String [10][2];
// now I have filled up "a"
Double [ ][ ] b = new Double[10][2];
    for(int i =0;i<10;i++)
        for(int j=0;j<2;j++)
            b[i][j] = new Double( a[i][j]);
.......But my problem is that:
tha values like 2.48e+08 have been transformed to 2.48E8 and I need that they are like the original ones (like 2.48e+08).
it is possible to maintain the original format in this numbers?
Thanks very much

No. A double value does not have a format, it is just a number. However if you want to display those double values in some particular format, then DecimalFormat is the class you use to do that.

How can you create a drop down list of specific numbers that are in scientific notation?

Is the best way to do this by constructing an enum and setting the
individual values to a case structure which has constants that are the
desired values... or is there a more straightforward way of doing this?

Just use a menu ring and set the desired "Strings and values" using a property node (or, if they are static, by editing the items directly via the property dialog).
Most likely, you also want to set the representation to DBL.

Select Query resulting in Scientific Notation

Hello all,
I am running a Select query through a batch file that extracts data from an Oracle database. Several of the fields that I am extracting from contain numbers that are up to 38 digits long. When I extract the data, it converts the numbers into scientific notation and it is important for me to have the entire field. Is there something I can change to my query that will pull the data in its entire form? This is what I'm running now:
select * FROM ML.APPT where APPTDATE >= to_date('01/1/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'
I apologize in advance if this has been answered already.
Thanks!

>
When the extractor finishes, it returns the data into a flat file.
don't quite understand the TO_CHAR function. Does this function mean I need to say something like this: select "TO_CHAR('column name', 99999999999999999999999999999999999999" FROM ML.APPT where APPTDATE >= to_date('01/1/2010','mm/dd/yyyy')
>
Yes- if the tool you use to extract the data (your 'extractor') is converting the numeric data to a string then it is responsible for creating the string in the proper format. If the number is an integer that can have as many digits as you have '9's in your sample format string then that is what you need to do.
Here is how sql*plus (Oracle's tool) will display the data using default settings
SQL> select 12345678901234567890123456789012345678 no_format,
2 to_char(12345678901234567890123456789012345678, '99999999999999999999999999
999999999999') with_format
3 from dual;
NO_FORMAT WITH_FORMAT
1.2346E+37 12345678901234567890123456789012345678
SQL>
----- TOAD will display something similiar but the default uses more decimal digits in the scientific notation data
NO_FORMAT,WITH_FORMAT
1.23456789012346E37, 12345678901234567890123456789012345678You can either format the numeric data in the query using TO_CHAR or the 'extractor' can do it when it converts the data to a string.

Urgent doubt in validating numbers

Hi Experts,
i have a doubt that how can we checking and validating all numbers; mind you: the US uses different decimal notation so it would have to format into SAP's internal, catching conversion exceptions and notifying the user if such occurs?
Thanks

Hi
     Here iam giving 1 example .
The Excel sheet provides:-template to fill out by user-control fields to verify what data format is used by userThe sheet must be protectedWe use control fields in the spreadsheet (protected, cannot be changed by user) to store a predefined date (i.e. 12/31/2005) and number (i.e. -12345.67). The upload program will read these values and confirms the users settings for date and number formatting.
wa2_datatab-col020(4) = wa_datatab-col026(4).
wa2_datatab-col024(2) = wa_datatab-col023(2).
wa2_datatab-col026(2) = wa_datatab-col020(2).
data: l_month(8) type c,
      l_mnr(2) type c.
l_month = WA_DATATAB-COL02+3(8).
perform sub_get_month using l_month
                      changing l_mnr.
wa2_datatab-col02+3(2) = l_mnr.
form sub_get_month using    p_l_month
                    changing p_l_mnr.
select mnr
       from t247
       into p_l_mnr
       where spras = sy-langu
       and ltx = p_l_month.
endselect.
how can do this?plz give the code DATE can be formeted as above logic but how can format number?

Page numbering in abode pro 9.0

I am interested in purchasing the pro 9.0, but have the free version to try. I want to be able to scan a large document, put my own page numbers on the bottom with a notation about the document (i.e., MP 0001) and have the numbers automatically change with each page. I was told this is the program to use, but I can't figure it out. Help! Thanks.

Robert,
You're describing Acrobat's Bates Numbering feature.
Advanced > Document Processing > Bates Numbering > Add
On the first screen, choose your files and order of your files (you can choose only 1 file if you want).
On the next screen, click Bates Numbering and indicate your starting page number and the number of leading zeros.

Convert from scientific notation

Can someone help me with this? I cannot get this working even using some of the tips I found on this site and elsewhere:
Round this and format this with 2 decimals: '-2.58069E-11'.
Now I realize this would end up -2.58, but it is giving me an error instead.
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
SELECT CAST('2.58069E-11' AS NUMERIC(24,2))
SELECT CAST('2.58069E-11' AS NUMERIC(24,12))
I tried 12 just to make sure that there was enough room for the decimals
If I use ISNUMERIC, it returns 1, so SQL Server considers it a number (at least with that function)
The next example works, but it is not what I want.
SELECT CAST('2.58069E-11' AS REAL) just returns the same thing with the 'E', (as REAL, of course)
In these example I haven't done the rounding yet.
I get all kinds of negative and positive numbers with different decimal lengths, but the scientific notation is particularly tricky.

Before I put this to bed, I have found out both the above solutions are wrong when using a regular decimal:
Try this:
SELECT CAST(CAST('-1131658.27' AS REAL) AS NUMERIC(24,2))
And this:
SELECT CAST(CONVERT(REAL, -1131658.27) as DECIMAL(24,12))
They both yield -1131658.25, and -1131658.250000000000, respectively.
This is probably some floating point error, but how do I take care of it?

Preventing automatic scientific notation conversion for excel o/p of bi pub

I have a column in a query that contains a mixture of numbers and letters and hyphens. If the only letter is E, then I get scientific notation instead of the actual text,when I run the report for excel output and open it in excel.
For example:
185701E-02 becomes 1.86E+03 in the excel output of the report
4962E6 becomes 4.96E+09

Formatting a column in numbers

I am using the travel planning template in numbers. I tried to enter a 10 digit confirmation number but it is being displayed in a format similar to scientific notation. I tried adjusting the column width. Can anyone please tell me how to adjust the formatting to allow for this type of a data format?
I am using a new macbook with mac os x 10.5.4

We may add the ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE ($FEFF) at the end of the "number" so, it will keep its leading zeroes and don't be displayed in scientific format.
