Automatic insertion of decimal point

How do you make numbers automatically insert a decimal point? I want to input 12356 and I want it to appear in the cell as 123.56. In other words I want numbers to insert a decimal point in front of the last two digits I input. Having to input the decimal point myself really slows me down.
to insert a decimal point

Hi Jerry
The fixed decimal point feature is available in Excel 2002 and is found under:
Tools > options > edit tab
about half way down click box next to fixed decimal point and you can also specify the number of decimal points.
This fixed decimal point feature is then global for all sheets.
In Excel 2007 click office button top left of screen
in bottom right of drop down menu is a box named Excel options- click this
then choose Advanced which is 5th option on LHS of menu and click second box in the menu next to Automatically insert a decimal point. You can again specify the number of points excel uses.
I think this fixed decimal point feature must exist in Office 2004 as it appears in Excel 2002 and 2007.
Hope this helps you. You don't miss it on a desktop keyboard where there is a numeric keypad but on a laptop it is a real pain to have to input the point on every entry.

Comma instead of decimal point

Is there a global way to doubles and floats to use a comma instead of a decimal point (like we do in Europe) when output as a string? (as opposed to having to reformat each number individually every time I want to display it)

Thanks. Writing code internally is no problem with a dot. Will the locale of my computer determine the string output style automatically?I'm not sure what exactly to change on your PC to make that happen, but yes, I believe you can do this. This varies on every OS, of course, but you should look into your OS's country- and/or location settings.

Currency Decimal Points - Urgent

Hi,
I am facing a serious problem with currency decimal points. Unfortunately "Currency code" has been deleted from where we can maintain currency decimal points in OY04 Tcode and the currency code was maintained by zero decimal places. Before deleting the Currency from decimal points the document currency was showing $1000.00 which is correct. But after deleting Currency Code from OY04 Tcode the same amount is showing $100000 by combining decimals.
I have again given same Currency Code in same transaction code. But still it is showing ($100000) the amount by combing the decimals.
Please help me
Thanks

You said someone "unfortunately" deleted an entry from table TCURX. Has that someone seen all the following WARNINGS given by SAP!!!
In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in documents already posted incorrect or invalid.
Before you continue, please read the following text carefully. If you do not heed this note, you can cause irreparable damage to the system with this transacton. In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely. Example: If you have set currency USD to have two decimal places and you post an amount of 100 USD, an amount of 10000 USD is stored in the currency field in the database. Not until this amount is processed further or is output does the system use the currency key from the reference field to determine the number of decimal places via this table. In this way the table content can be interpreted correctly for further processing or formatted for output with the correct punctuation. If after posting you changed the number of decimal places for USD, for example, to 3, the existing field content of 10000 would be interpreted for futher processing or output as 10 USD (10.000). This would mean that the contents of tables across the system would, for all currency fields containing an amount in USD, be interpreted incorrectly by 10 per cent. To
change the number of decimal places for a currency already in use, you must convert all the tables in the R/3 System that contain
currency fields, so that the data integrity remains. This cannot, however, for both organizational reasons and under the runtime aspect be carried out in a productive system. The following changes to the TCURX table can thus lead to the loss of data integrity if you
make the changes in a productive system or transport them into a productive system:
o Change to the number of decimal places of an existing currency
o Deletion of an entry from the TCURX table (corresponds to changing the decimal places to the standard value of two decimal places)
o Insertion of an entry in the TCURX (corresponds to changing the standard value of 2 decimal places to a different value), if this is a currency code that already exists Uncritical changes are any made to this table during the Customizing of a new installation or the insertion of TCURX even during operations, if the currency codes have just been entered in the TCURC table using transaction OY03, signifying that no postings to these currency codes can have been carried out yet.
Do you want to change the decimal places despite all recommendations?

Adding a decimal point to a number column

I have a column defined as number(10,2)
I've imported data to this column from a betrieve database which did not use decimal points, so my data looks like this:
13000
2000
I need to update this column and place a decimal point in front of the last two zeros, so the new data would look like this:
130.00
20.00
Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?

yes, all the data ends with double zeros and all the data is end the same format.
I gotcha! There is no need to insert a decimal if I divide the 100! Dah!
Thanks!

How to change decimal point in Rotate Tool.

Hi,
I use the rotate tool to design gauges, like clocks, a lot. I hold the ALT button and click on the center of my drawing and then a window pops up to enter in what degree I want my object to be. Currently the decimal point only allows for hundredths, ex. 45.25 degrees. Is there any way to change this to thousandths or even higher, ex. 45.25125? I've attached a screenshot to show you what I mean.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Laura

Laura Belle,
When you enter the full decimal value, that should give you the right rotation whatever the truncated value is.
At least I hope that is still the case in your version.
You may test it as follows:
1) Create a square with W = H = 100;
2) Rotate thrice, each time inserting 33.333333 degrees, then rotate by -100 degrees;
3) Look at the W and H values;
4) Repeat 1) - 3), only with 33.33 degrees and see what you get.
You should get W = H = 100 in 3) and something like 100.017 to 100.018 in 4).

Condition type value to have upto 7 decimal points

Dear All,
We are calculating yield. The client wants us to take the value upto the 7 decimal points. Can somebody help me how we can achieve this. If this is a development how can we have this.
Regards
Chakradhar

Hello Paturi,
First you have to maintain the number of decimal places for the required currency.
This can be done in spro--> general settings --> currencies --> set decimal places for currencies.
Then the condition value comes automatically in the specified number of decimals.
Hope this info helps you.

Bhanu.

2 Decimal Points for Indonesian Rupiah Currency

Dear All,
I would like to assign 2 decimal points to Indonesian Rupiah Curreny - IDR by accessing OY04.
However, there is no input value for 2 decimal points.
For accounting purpose, we would like to record business transactions up to 2 decimal points.
Kindly advise.
Appreciate it!

Hi wishy washy,
even I had various real painfull experiences with clients who changed the decimals..... Still having nightmares about this....
Please be hypercarefull with that what you are doing. Has IDR really 2 decimals? As far as I can see IDR has in Standard (In my SAP-testsystem) no decimals.
What happens if you change the decimals? Please note, SAP stores values always without decimals.
Example: 100,00 Euros are stored as 10000 in bseg-wrbtr.
Euro has 2 decimals.
If you change the decimals to 0 the amount changes to 10000 Euros.
Example: 100 IDR are stored as 100 in bseg wrbtr.
IDR has no decimals
If you change the decimals to 2 the amount changes to 1,00 IDR.
Please consider: automatic taxcalculation, Data carriers, reporting, open item clearing, budgeting, depreciation, and hundreds of other issues.
The several warnings of OY04 have a reason... and I don't want you to have my nightmares.
Best regards
Horst

Regarding decimal point

Hi All,
I have one problem.
In VA01 sales order creation shows price values with 2 decimal points like 2342.90,
But in case of Invoice (VF01) it shows 3 decimal points like 2342.900
I want show both are same.Is there any settings for that...If any knows pls tel me.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Subramanyam.S

HI Subramanyam,
You Can maintain the number of decimal places for the required currency.
This can be done in spro--> general settings --> currencies --> set decimal places for currencies. {T.Code: OY04}
Then the condition value comes automatically in the specified number of decimals.
Reward if it helps

Regular Expression to Check number with at least one decimal point

Hi,
I would like to use the REGEX_LIKE to check a number with up to two digits and at least one decimal point:
Ex.
10.1
1.1
1
12
This is what I have so far. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
if regexp_like(v_expr, '^(\d{0,2})+(\.[0-9]{1})?$') t

Hi,
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).

Do you really mean "up to two digits", that is, 3 or more digits is unacceptable? What if there are 0 digits? (0 is less than 2.)
Do you really mean "at least one decimal point", that is, 2, 3, 4 or more decimal points are okay? Include some examples when you post the sample data and results.
It might be more efficient without regular expressions. For example
WHERE   TRANSLATE ( str              -- nothing except digits and dots
                  , 'A.0123456789'
                  , 'A'
                  )   IS NULL
AND     str           LIKE '%.%'     -- at least 1 dot
AND     LENGTH ( REPLACE ( str       -- up to 2 digits
                )     <= 2

Query to remove decimal point

Hi all,
I have a table A, in which there is a column currency with integer values having decimal point, i have to just remove the decimal and keep the number as it is.
Ex:- A number 23.45 should be 2345
A number 17.9 should be 179
I have to do this for all the currency values of the table A.
Can someone kindly help me with a query.

Hi,

Thank you all for replying,
The problem is that there are different rows in table A, i.e many values, so i think we would have to pass this value as variable in runtime.Sorry, I don't understand.
What value do you think you have to pass as a variable? The decimal point character ('.' in America, ',' in Germany)? The number of decimal places? Some value, such as 175?
select to_number(replace (1.23, '.')) from dual;
or
SELECT REPLACE (crncy, '.') AS crncy_w_o_dot
FROM table_x;
how can i use the above query like a loopAny query is like a loop; it finds each row, and does the same sort of thing to each one.
i.e if i have many values like below in the column currency, how can i change them all.Are you saying you have different columns that need to be transformed?
If so, the answer depends on what your data is like, what results you want, and what version of Oracle you're using..
If what you want to do is simple, and the number of columns isn't to big, the best thing is to repeat the formula for every column.
Other options are likely to be slower.
You could write a user-defined fucniton to do the transformation.
You could unpivot the table, so that all the columns to be transformed become one column. You could then pivot the results back to the original number of columns, if necessary.
17.5
23.456
89.9343
43.98121thanks again for your help,Is this your sample data? It looks like just one column. Post some sample data as CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements.
What are the results you want from that data? If you need to pass some parameter to the query, give a couple of examples of different parameters and the different results they produce given the same sample data.
Whenever you have a question, say what version of Oracle you're using.

Automatic insertion of file name in Pages footer?

I'm considering using Pages instead of MS Word. One thing I can't figure out is if it is possible to use a function to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a page (or anywhere else for that matter)? Having the file name on printouts is great for finding old files, and Word has such a function that inserts it when the file is first saved. It is a real time saver when using a template (or old file) to create new files.

Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2? iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

Hi rhyolite,
In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.

Lost decimal point after export to text file

Dear All,
I have problem which to beset me long long time. I haven't dug the cause yet. Actually, I have a program which will generate a text file in background everyday. The text file included po data which is create last day, such as po no, item, unit price etc. But sometimes, not every times, one of item data's unit price will lost the decimal point in the text file, for example, the po unit price is 18.80 stored in database. but the outcome is 1880 in the text file. Do you have encountered such kind of problem? Thanks!

Hi

Dynamic displaying of decimal points for currency field in ALV

Hi,
        In ALV output there is a currency field and displaying data of different countries. It should display decimal point according to the country's currency. But at a time it can display data of different countries.

Hi Dilip,
I think your question is about currencies with different number of digits after decimal point. If you have the currency field in the ALV row, you have to give it's name as currency reference for the value field in the field catalog.
After creating the field catalog, call a form and do something like this (change fielnames accordingly).
<pre>
*&      Form alv_fieldcat_enhance
      Individual Enrichment of field catalog
FORM alv_fieldcat_enhance
CHANGING pt_alv_fieldcat TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <alv_fieldcat> TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
LOOP AT pt_alv_fieldcat ASSIGNING <alv_fieldcat>.
    IF <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'KBETR' OR
       <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'SKBTR' OR
       <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'DMBTR'.
Company code currency
      <alv_fieldcat>-cfieldname = 'BWAER'.
Document Currency for conditions, net value and taxes
    ELSEIF <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'KWERT' OR
            <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname    = 'NETWR' OR
            <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname    = 'NPAX_MWST_AMNT'.
Document Currency
      <alv_fieldcat>-cfieldname = 'WAERK'.
    ENDIF." <alv_fieldcat>-fieldname(5) = 'KBETR' or
ENDLOOP." at pt_alv_fieldcat assigning <fieldcat_alv>.
ENDFORM.                    " alv_fieldcat_enhance
