Bex: overall Result: number of decimal places

Good day
How to I change the number of decimal places for the "Overall result" in a query?
Your assistance is appreciated.
Cj Faurie

Thanks for your response.
The number format in properties for the KF (formula created in query) has been set to '0' decimal places. I also use the "Average of all values <>0" in the calculate results for the KF. If you use "Summation" then the decimal will apply, but not with the "Average .....".
My "0CALMONTH" is in rows and results is based on this (set to 'never') as I want the Overall Result to display first as my chart is based on the OResult and not the individual figures.
"This is the layout of my report"
Territory Overall Result 2007/02 2007/03 2007/03
Boland 205.8333 21 242 355
The "overall result' should display as '206'. Why does the 'decimal place' not apply to "Average of all v...."?
Thanks
Cj

BEx Analyzer displays wrong number of decimal places after implementing BW patch

Hey folks,
we patched our BW 7.31 from PL10 to PL15 last weekend and now we got some issue with the number of decimal places shown in BEx Analyzer 7.x.
One example for KF X
Settings Info Object X
Decimal Places:                         Not defined
RSRT - Display X
Shows 3 decimal places
Query Designer Settings using KF X
Number of Descimal Places:     0 [Use Default Settings: NO]
BEx Analyzer Properties for KF X
Decimal Places:                         0
Resulting in BEx Analyzer workbook shows 3 decimal places instead of 0!
Anyone with an good idea about that?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Have you used the list calulation like "Calculate Result As Average" or "Calculate Single Values as normalization of result" in the relevant key figures?
For "Calculate Single Values as normalization of result",iIt is the known design that it is always displayed with three decimal places for normalized values, and the setting in Query Designer for
decimal place doesn't take effect.
For "Calculate Result As Average", the following note maybe relevant.
2096911 - Decimal places in query result is wrong, if average is used and display precision is set to less than 3, it will always show 3 decimal places.
Another clue is to check if the key figure is a Quantity type with unit, and what's defined in table
T006 field ANDEC for this unit.
Hope this helpful.

Ceciclia

Can not change the number of decimal places in the normalization of result

dear all
    i want to see the proportion of some data, for example, the income of May is 300, and the total income is 1000, i need to display it like 33.33% . so i set the
Calculate single values as normalization of result, and then it display 33.333%, i like to display only two number of decimal places, so i set the number of decimal places as 0.00, but i doesn't work, it still display three decimal numbers.
    maybe you say i can use the percentage function like %CT %GT %RT, but i need to allow external access to my query, so the i can not use those functions.
    can somebody helps me ? your advice is appreciated.

hi,thanks for your advice, but that doesn't suit for my problem.
before i set the normalization of result, i can change the decimal values. After that i cann't.
In your thread, someone proposes use the T-code OY04. but this wouldn't help. As i change to other key figure, such as user quantity, when i set normalization of result, it still display 3 decimal values.
i think the point maybe lie in the normalization of result. please advise... thanks...

Displaying results with a decimal place of two. Forcing decimal place.

Hi there,
Im writing a simple calculation device.
You input one digit and press one of two buttons to multiply it by a certain number and then the result is displayed. The result is displyed hiding the result of the button you didn't press and visa versa.
I am having a problem displaying the result with a constant two decimal place.
I am using strings and thus don't know how to do this.
Here is my code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
//restrict the input textfield to only numbers
txtinput.restrict = "0-9";
//restrict the input textfield to only two characters
txtinput.maxChars = 6;
// event listeners
btnW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, WHandler);
btnC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CHandler);
btnW.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideC);
btnC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hideW);
//functions
function WHandler (e:MouseEvent):void
          //white calculation
          var answerW:Number = Number(txtinput.text) * Number(0.90);
          txtWResult.text = answerW.toString();
function CHandler (e:MouseEvent):void
          //colour calculation
          var answerC:Number = Number(txtinput.text) * Number(0.99);
          txtCResult.text = answerC.toString();
function hideC (e:MouseEvent):void
          //Hide colour result
          txtCResult.visible = false;
          txtWResult.visible = true;
function hideW (e:MouseEvent):void
          //Hide white result
          txtWResult.visible = false;
          txtCResult.visible = true;
After having a look online I have found these two resources:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/rounding-specific-decimal-places-flash.html
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11469321/decimals-to-one-decimal-place-in-as3
But I am confused when combining these techniques with strings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance
Mr B

Use the toFixed() method of the Number class instead of the toString() method. The result of it is a String with the number of decimal places you specify.
          var answerW:Number = Number(txtinput.text) * Number(0.90);
          txtWResult.text = answerW.toFixed(2);
          var answerC:Number = Number(txtinput.text) * Number(0.99);
          txtCResult.text = answerC.toFixed(2);

Determine Number of Decimal Place using BigDecimal

I was interested to have the following getNumberOfDecimalPlace function :
System.out.println("0 = " + Utils.getNumberOfDecimalPlace(0)); // 0
System.out.println("1.0 = " + Utils.getNumberOfDecimalPlace(1.0)); // 0
System.out.println("1.01 = " + Utils.getNumberOfDecimalPlace(1.01)); // 2
System.out.println("1.012 = " + Utils.getNumberOfDecimalPlace(1.012)); // 3
System.out.println("0.01 = " + Utils.getNumberOfDecimalPlace(0.01)); // 2
System.out.println("0.012 = " + Utils.getNumberOfDecimalPlace(0.012)); // 3
I use the following code
    public static int getNumberOfDecimalPlace(double value) {
        final BigDecimal bigDecimal = new BigDecimal("" + value);
        final String s = bigDecimal.toPlainString();
        System.out.println(s);
        final int index = s.indexOf('.');
        if (index < 0) {
            return 0;
        return s.length() - 1 - index;
    }However, for case 0, 1.0, it doesn't work well. I expect, "0" as result. But they turned out to be "0.0" and "1.0". This will return "1" as result.
0.0
0 = 1
1.0
1.0 = 1
1.01
1.01 = 2
1.012
1.012 = 3
0.01
0.01 = 2
0.012
0.012 = 3
Any solution?

How to set the number of decimal places.

Just wondering what and where the code would be to set the number of decimal places when calculating an answer.

Depending on exactly what result you want you could alternatively format the result to a set number of decimal places.
This is not so good for financial applications where they want the total of 10 transactions to match the total of each number displayed but can be kind of important for scientific ones.
eg
someNumber.ToString("N3"));
Gives you three decimal places without changing the someNumber.
If this turned out to be wpf then you have stringformat you can use on a binding.
Hope that helps.

Yielding the desired number of decimal places using the AVG function in t-sql

Hello again. Confused retired hobby coder having trouble setting up a scalar-valued function to return the desired number of decimal places from a AVG query.
Whenever I run the following script I get the number of decimals I desire:
Using the above I created a scalar-valued function as follows:
Running this function as: SELECT [dbo].[TestHCIPartial] (1,3) my return is -7.
Can you help me with the function causing it to yield the answer to 6 decimal places?
Thanks and regards, Minuend.

You've not specified precision and scale in UDF return type. So you're leaving it to server to interpret it based on default settings
If you want exactly up to four decimal places tweak udf as below
ALTER FUNCTION..
RETURNS decimal(20,4)
AS

Altering number of decimal places of formatted number

Using http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/format/numberFormat.html I have worked out how to format a number, almost. When I follow the example in this tutorial that shows how format a double, it always rounds it to 3 decimal places. How do I alter the number of decimal places that this formatting procedure outputs? I used the US as the locale and English as the language. I am assuming that if these parameters are chosen, 3 decimal places is the output. Is this assumption correct?

Look at the next chapter :)

Round a double value to a specific number of decimal places?

Hello,
Is there standard java function which will round a double value to a specified number of decimal places? Something like:
double d = 4.34523;
d = round(d, 2);
where d is finally assigned the value of 4.34?
Thanks!
-exits

No, because doubles hold values in binary (as do all values in a computer, of course, but there's no additional stuff to indicate decimal values).
If you want values with specific rounding rules in decimal, use java.math.BigDecimal.
If you just want to format the number with a specified number of decimal digits, use java.text.DecimalNumber.

Key figure, number of decimal places are not showing in report output

Dear experts,
At cube level PO qty value is getting 0.010 where as in bex report output of PO qty showing as 0. I have chosen decimal places as 0.000 in key figure additional properties tab. In query designer also I have chosen no of decimal places as 0.000 in display propertiesu2026please help me out. How can I get 0.010 value in report o/p.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try to run the query in RSRT. CHeck if you are getting the same output. Also make sure that in the reports all the filters are same as you have applied in the info -cube to see the data.

Changing number of decimal places for Unit of Measure

Hi All,
I have a requirement to convert a quantity in one unit of measure to another (custom) unit of measure.
The issue is that the custom unit of measure has 4 decimal places (customer requirement). I found function module MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT which does the trick for regular, 3 decimal places, UoM's. It won't output 4 decimal places since the output data type is EKPO-MENGE, which has 3 decimal places.
Does anyone have experience with trying to convert material's UoMs into 4 or more decimal places?
Thanks!

How can i configure number of decimal places in smartview for Word?

When I open a smart slice in word via smart view all my values are in scientific notation, I have set the options in excel but they don't come over to word. Isa there any way to correct this?

Have you tried formatting the fields in Word? For example, after bringing in your SmartSlice data, right-click on the field where your data resides and select "Toggle Field Codes" from the Windows menu. Modify the field to look something like this for comma delimited with two decimal places: {=HsGetValue("", "Period#Sep", "Account#Cash")|SmartView14103814190|$#,##0.00|||} Comma delimited with no decimal places: {= HsGetValue("", "Period#Sep", "Account#Cash")|SmartView14103814190|$#,##0|||}

Issue rounding result to 2 decimal places

Good day all,
I currently have a format script to get the average of 10 fields on my form that also skips empty fields. Here is my current script:
// Initialize variables
var num = 0;
var sum = 0;
// Check input fields
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
var f = getField("Assesment_Rating" + i);
if (f.valueAsString) {
// increment the non-blank field counter
num++;
// add the field value to the running total
sum += +f.value;
// Calculate the average
if (num) {
event.value = sum / num;
} else {
// If fields are empty, so set to blank
event.value = "";
As it currently works if I have a total of 1.4444444444444, that is what is displayed. I've tried a couple of Math.Round functions that give me "1.5" as a result which is not correct. I'm still learning so I may have tried a Math.Round function in the wrong part of my code, but cannot get the result I need.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

That script should be a custom calculation script, which sets the field value. You can then set the format type to Number and two decimals.
