Adding a currency in numbers missing custom format option

I just paid for numbers latest version June 2012. iPad 3' v5.1.1. Want to format a cell as a currency not in the little list chosen by apple. Forums suggest using the custom format option but I can not see this anywhere? Any ideas how to add a custom format or how to extend the list of currencies to all currencies. If nothing else missing out a countries currency as too unimportant to include is just plain rude!

1) You posted to the Numbers on Mac OS X forum ( Apple Support Communities > iWork > Numbers > Discussions ). The iWork for iOS forum is more likely to provide the direct answer...
it is here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
2) you can add custom formats (demonstrating from Numbers for Mac OS X) by opening the cells inspector:
Then naming the new format and setting the parameters of the format:
If the currency symbol is not in the list then you can preceed (or follow) the value with the proper symbol:
I decided to demonstrate this by showing a preceeding infinity sign before the amount:

Add '+' to all positive numbers using custom format

I am a whiz at Excel but took the plunge for Numbers recently. Many things I cannot figure out how to do, but the current one is, I want some cells to always show + and - for the integers. So, things like:
+9
-5
+14
etc.
How do I set that up? My feeble attempts so far make negative numbers appear with both.

In the custom format window,
1) Click the plus sign.
2) Choose "if greater than 0"
3) Click in the new format line then use the left arrow to get to the left of what's already there
4) Type a +
5) If you want the format to be integers, skip this step. If you want decimal places then drag the decimal format up from below and drop one on the right of the original format and one on the right of your new format. Choose how many decimals you want for each. Choose to show trailing zeros if you want them.
6) Click OK

Missing Invalid Format option with Spry TextField

I am inserting a Spry Validation Text Field into a form for an email address. The only options I have from the preview states menu in the property inspector are these: Initial, Required and Valid. There is no option for Invalid Format.
I am following along with an exercise in Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom In a Book Lesson 13.
I have worked back through the lesson in case I had missed something but nothing leaps out at me.
I would appreciate any assistance in tracking down the issue.

Hi,
I've checked the samples.
The standard submit example validates the fields the XHR example does not.
I added the following code from the XHR sample
if (Spry.Widget.Form.validate('register') == true)
Spry.Utils.submitForm('register', registerResponse);
However Spry.Widget.Form.validate('register') always returns true regardless of the state of the Spry validation
Any more ideas to get the XHR submit to recognise the state of the Spry validation for the form
Cheers

How to delete a custom format in Numbers 3

I am one of the poor unfortunates that has upgraded to Numbers 3 BIG mistake!!
However does anyone know how to delete a custom format in Numbers 3?
I'm not sure where the custom format came from in the erlier version of numbers. I guess I must have created it for something, I can't remember what.
It now appaers that when I send a Numbers 3 document via email to an Excel format it adds a weird custom format that turns currency into garbage. Once in Excel simply going to format cells and deleting this odd format cures the problem.
If I could find a way of deleting it in Numbers 3, hopefully the problem will go away.
This is far from the only problem I'm having with Numbers 3. It's begining to look like I'll have to abandon Numbers 3 having had to go to the expense of buying a new iPad because Numbers 3 documents (and presumably Pages Keynote etc) no longer work on the original iPad.

I never promote the method the deletion unless you understand the underlying tables of planning, if you search on the forum you will see posts on the subject just like this one - Delete dimension from planning application

Numbers by Apple: Can I create a custom format on the iPad, like on Mac?

Hi A,
I don't see how you could create it directly in iOS. Any table with custom formatting created on a Mac should import those formats to your iPad.

FrameMaker update book icon not updating and custom formatting help

Hi,
I am fairly new to FrameMaker, and I am currently experiencing two issues:
First Issue
I am currently trying to create a book that currently has three chapters. I am trying to break it out into the following format:
Main TOC - includes all the headers and related pages for the entire book
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File A
Chapter Source File A - includes all related content to Chapter Source File A
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File B
Chapter Source File B - includes all related content to Chapter Source File B
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File C
Chapter Source File C - includes all related content to Chapter Source File C
Whenever I click the Update Book icon, however, it does not update the headers and page numbers. They still remain the same way when I first generated them. This occurs for both the main TOC and mini TOC.
Second Issue
In addition to the format structure I designed for my book, I also wanted to create a custom format look that remains constant whenever I update my TOC. I have tried testing this, but I noticed every time I generate a new TOC it is always in the unformatted FrameMaker style which you have reformat each time.
Is there a way to create a custom format look that can retain the design and simply update the TOC headers and page numbers each time it needs to be updated?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you!

First I'd highly recommend getting Matt Sullivan's Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FM11 book - it's a pretty complete reference one to have on FM.
Second, it sounds like you may not have your ToC reference pages set up correctly - if nothing changes when you've added content that should have created more ToC headings and shift pages around, then something is amiss. Your formatting problem is solved by doing a bit of a dodge - you create a ToC and generate it, then replace it with your formatted .fm doc keeping the exact name as the generated doc; then update again. Now the content is formatted the way you want and keeps being updated each time you update.

Creating a custom format for angles that adds a degree symbol

I am creating a fillin form. I would like to customize the format of a number field to add a degree symbol to the numbers added by the user. So when the users types in 90 a small elevated circle representing degrees automatically appears after the digits. Can I do this?

OK, probably the easiest way is to take advantage of Acrobat's built-in formatting routines for a number and adapt it to use a degree symbol. In the sample linked to below I created a document-level JavaScript and added the following two functions:
function degreeFormat() {
AFNumber_Format(0, 1, 0, 0, "\u00b0", false);
function degreeKeystroke() {
AFNumber_Keystroke(0, 1, 0, 0, "\u00b0", false);
Which get called from the field's custom Format and Keystroke events, respectively:
// Custom Format script
degreeFormat();
// Custom Keystroke script
degreeKeystroke();
Here's where you can download a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=t241U3Pj0w0FztiQw5jgSw
This allows decimal entries, but rounds to the nearest whole number for display. If you don't want a user to enter a fractional part, the script is a bit more complicated, but can be done.

Flash Builder improvements, Syntax coloring, Custom format, Auto close

Hello,
I'm trying Flash Builder 4.7 but I see there is missing features in the Softaware.
I didn't found this important features in the preferences and I think you could add this new features in the new version of FB:
Syntax coloring like Flash Professional: Coloring the AS3 keywords properties and methods like (addChild, x, y, width, height, etc.)
Custom format code. In FB 4.7 there no way to custom the format code in AS3 but you can do it for Java.
AutoClose : Inserts matching bracket, paren, brace or quote
A list of color themes
I hope it will help to improve this software.
Cheers.

I've always had the feel/assumption that Flash is more of a priority to Adobe than Flex / FlashBuilder evere was/is. Try using FlashDevelop with Flash to compile.
If by action we can assume answer then the following I would assume:
Adobe: Don't fix old bugs in FlashBuilder even when it was still named Flex, only seen updates to major / critical bugs
Assumed reasoning for this: Low priority product, not enough resource allocated to product development, no development time assigned to enhancing / correcting the old components, eclipse product enhancement is beyond their skill set, or just simply don't care...... pick one and go with it.
Joe Public: Requested better code colouring, syntax highlighting, language recognition (many years ago)
Adobe: Added new commands to intelisense and informational popups when they arrived but apart from that not much else has been done.
Assumed reasoning for this: Low priority product, not enough resource allocated to product development, no development time assigned to enhancing / correcting the old components, eclipse product enhancement is beyond their skill set, or just simply don't care...... pick one and go with it.

Opening an Excel file with custom formatting while BEx is open

Hi,
we just noticed something pretty weird (first time I see it in my carreer). One of the end users had BEx open (just launched the BEx Analyzer without actually opening a query/workbook) and tried to open one of her "own" Excel sheets out of Explorer.
The file opened but all of a sudden the custom formatted currency fields changed from US$ amounts to DM amounts??? I assume DM stands for Deutsche Mark (a currency which has not been in use for about 9 years I believe). This "custom" format seems to only appear when BEx is opened. End user has Excel03 with BI AddOn 7.X Support Package 8, Patch 1, Revision 1443. When I do this on my own pc (I have Excel07 and the same BI AddOn), I get exactly the same behavior, be it a bit slower (I can see the file opening with $ amounts which slowly change to DM amounts). There are no macro's in the Excel workbook (was one of my first checks). I also tried opening the file from within Excel, but it gives the same weird behavior. Next check was to open a BI report first (so there was no empty BEx session) and then open the file in Excel... still the same.
Ok, then I assumed it would use some kind of "marker" to point to the correct entry in the list of custom formats, but even that is not true. In the original file (opened in Excel when BEx is not open), it takes position 43. If I open the file while BEx is open, it takes position 49.
Did anyone experience this before?
Cheers,
RafB

Hi,
you are using BI Frontend SP 801 and the next available Frontend SP should provide a fix for the issue. I would recommend to install Frontend SP 902, the latest one. Note [1294215|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1294215] describes the issue and refers to Frontend SP 900.

Payment Medium Workbench - Custom Format

Hi ,
We are in the middle of a global implementation. In our project we would be using Payemnt medium workbench to generate the payment run files from transaction F110. The Bank we will be dealing would require a custom format of MT101 for modification of few values. The changes would be the modules for Event 20 and 30.
We went ahead and implemented the chnges by copying the FM - FI_PAYMEDIUM_MT101_20 and FI_PAYMEDIUM_MT101_30 and added them to the configuration using OBPM1.
We are facing some issues and wanted to debug the code. Even after putting a hard BREAKPOINT in the code the program runs without stopping and is generating a payment medium file without stopping at the breakpoints.
Is there a way in the process flow of F110 that we can but a breakpoint and debug it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Arunava

The job for generating DME file is launched in background by F110, so you don't have any breakpoint. The generated job contains program SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE. Run this program SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE by yourself in foreground and you will see have the breakpoints.

Add (concatenate) a string to the end of a numerical field value (custom format script)?

Hello All!
1) I have a form field where a customer can input mileage (e.g. 48,000)
I would like to be able to dynamically place the comma in the proper place as well as add " miles" to the end of the value the user input.
For example:
If the user types "123456" into the field, I would like for it to display as "123,456 miles"
I assume this will require some custom format javascript... I'm familiar with the general syntax of JavaScript, but don't really know specific keywords/object names to use, I have a few custom calculation scripts in the form, and I've done some simple thing like concatenate two fields into one, etc.
But this is a little different, because I'm only working with data from one field. I tried:
event.value += " miles";
However, this causes " miles" to get added everytime ANY field changes... so I end up getting "123,456 miles miles miles miles" as the user makes changes to other fields.
2) Also, to further complicate things, is it possible to "remove" the custom formatting when the field gains focus? For example, if you use Acrobat's default number format ($1,394.00) on a field, when the user selects that field to edit the value, the formatting "disappears" so that the user would only see "1394".
I would like to achieve the same with my custom field, so when the user selected the field that displays "123,456 miles" to change the value, they would only see/edit "123456"
A bit wordy, I know, but thanks for any help!

Here's a simple way. Begin by creating a new document-level JavaScript and include the following code:
function my_format() {
    // Format number (no decimal point, comma thousands separator, etc.)
    AFNumber_Format(0, 0, 0, 0, "", false);
    // Add " miles" if there is an entry
    event.value = event.value ? event.value + " miles" : "";
function my_keystroke() {
    // Restrict entry to characters consistent with a number
    AFNumber_Keystroke(0, 0, 0, 0, "", false);
For the field in question, add the following as the custom Format script:
my_format();
and the following as the custom Keystroke script:
my_keystroke();

How to process Customer format parameters with Payment Medium Workbench

Hi
I have one bank transfer scenario PC00_M99_FPAYM requiring supplying a payment using the French format FR_ETEBAC_CRT_DOM but the execution date of the bank transfer should be replaced by the banku2019s value date. I planned to enter this required date using the Customer format parameters when running PMW.
The issue I tried to solve is described here below.
How to extract the Customer format parameters assigned to the payment medium format FR_ETEBAC_VRT_DOM when processed by the Payment medium Workbench in order to fill the Customer specific user-defined fields (ZREF01 to ZREF10 in structure FPAYHX)?
I noticed the event type 06 authorizes function modules similar like FI_PAYMEDIUM_SAMPLE_06 but the customer format parameters are only available at low level in function module FI_PAYM_MEDIUM_OPEN (example gc_format_params_c)
Can someone help on this matter? That would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Henri.

Just sharing my findings and proposed solution.
This worked
The expected date is the value date/payee's bank.
This date is created by the bank transfer program prior to be processed by Payment Medium Creation Tool (SAPFPAYM)
According to functional investigation it sounds like the bank transfer program does not allow working with the value date/payee's bank.
The investigation has been done in the Payment Medium Creation Tool. It allows adding the required value date/payee's bank into a customer format parameter.
Required configuration and development:
- Clone the current sap format FR_ETEBAC_VRT-DOM into a new Customized format ZFR_ETEBAC_VRT-DOM
- Clone the corresponding DMEE object FR_ETEBAC_VRT-DOM into a new DMEE object tree type PAYM ZFR_ETEBAC_VRT-DOM
- Create a new data structure: ZFR_Bank_Transfer with field CRVAL Value Date at Payee's Bank (comp type PRQ_CRVAL)
- Assign customer structure ZFR_Bank_Transfer to payment format ZFR_ETEBAC_VRT-DOM and declare field CRVAL as required field
- Build function module ZFI_PAYMEDIUM_06_FR in charge to extract value date/payee's bank from the customer structure and move it to the customer specific user-defined field ES_FPAYHX_CREF-ZREF01
- in new DMEE object tree type PAYM ZFR_ETEBAC_VRT-DOM Replace Source field FPAYH-ZALDT by FPAYHX-ZREF01 in the header record

OBIEE custom formatting/threshold

Hello,
While performing the custom formatting, instead of changing color and font, adding image ,can we add text like HIGH, LOW, MEDIUM etc. For example: if some metrics have its value greater than $5000 then instead of changing its color i want to add the text HIGH. Can anyone tell me the steps to do this?
Thanks in advance

Can anyone tell me the steps to do this?Hi Rubita ,
For doing that you have to add two instances of that amount.
Ex: if you have to compare Expense Amount then takes Expense Amount two times. 1st Expense Amount convert into char using edit formula:
CAST("Table Name"."Expense Amount" AS char) and leave 2nd expense amount same as it.
click on "Column Property" of 2nd expense amount then click on "Conditional Formatting" then "Add Condition" and give condition on 1nd Expense(like is greater than 5000) then click on "OK" button, as you click ok edit format window will appear: from that choose "Data Format" tab nd click on check box as override default data format. choose Treat Text As custom and write *@[html] @H <b>high </b>*.
Remember in your report just show 2nd expense amount. It will work as you want.
hope you got your answer.................

Where to put my customized formatting that Control Hints does not provide?

To whom that know or have experience with it:
The control hints does not provide solutions for all possible formatting needs. For example, I need to display only last four digits of social security numbers (i.e., for "123-45-6789", display "***-**-6789"). Another data table column stores school semesters as YYYYMM, e.g., 200902, where 2009 is the year and 02 is the month that represents Spring (MM can also be 06 and 09 that represent Summer and Fall). I need to display the semester in a more user-friendly way (i.e., for "200902", display "Spring 2009"). Of course, I can not change data format in the table; I only seek to format the display of the data.
I would think that it takes only a few lines of java code to do these formatting by splitting the string into sub-strings, replace some of them with appropriate new values, then re-assemble them. But where to put such code? Does any documentation cover this topic?
Newman

Shay,
I read the document, tried it, and it worked out nicely.
There is not the getAttributeName() method in the ViewObjectImpl class in version 10.1.3.4, which is the version I am using. But the EO class has it and it works out all the same.
I don't know how long it would otherwise take me to read and fumble to find out where to put the custom formatting code. Your experience and familiarity with the technology really saved me a huge amount of time. Thank you so much for your help!
