Cell format

Hi
The two cells AG13 and AG14 contain the same formula, but a different format
I copy AG13 and paste it to AG 14 and nothing happens. I copy AG14 to AG13 and nothing happens.
The ofmat of row 13 is Automatic. The format of ro14 is numeric. I cannot change any of the formats.
I would like the result to be an empty string when there are no values to average as in AG13.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi
All the rows contain 0.0 as they collect data from a single column in another sheet. The font colour is conditionally set to white when the value is 0,since Numbers does not have the show/hide zero values setting. But that is beside the point.
I've just realised that the formula should have ">" instead of "=". My bad! But that only swaps things around.
So, what I would like to do is to have either an empty string or a number displayed according to an IF statement, but never display a '0'.
The formula should be IF(B13>0,AVERAGEA(B13:AF13),"").
I have to include the B13>0 test because AVERAGEA will not work if all values are 0.
Why is AG13 giving a 0 and AG14 giving an empty string?

Need help with Report Generation Toolkit: Excel Set Cell Format.vi

Hi people,
I've been searching and found this old thread of someone asking what is the input parameter "Number format". And I dont know what should I put in there. I've tried so many possibilities, but nothing works so far, such as:
0,0
0,?
0,#
#,0
?,0
and also with @, doesnt works. Where would I find help about this parameter?
I'm using Excel2003, german version, thus local decimal separator is a comma.
I also found this help from NI, but seems doesnt help me either. Do I miss something important?
thanks,
Yan.

Hi,
I've used your suggestion and some numbers in excel doesnt need to get "right click, change to numbers" anymore (green indicators on the left-top side in some cells are gone). But, I think its still not a number, because I cant use a simple formula, such as in cell A10 I type "= A1/2" (cell A10 equals cell A1 divided with 2) . I got error which says its not a number.
Well, but other thing is found, any format-string I put in the input of Excel Set Cell Format.vi, such as #,########, will be shown the same as "customize #,########" if I right click in a cell in excel and click "Zellen formatieren" (formatting cell). But however, the numbers are still depends on the input of the format I put in the Append Table to Report.vi.
regards,
Yan.

How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another?

How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another, including text fonts, colours, borders, etc., so that, for example, I can reuse a formatted reconciliation table again in different parts of a sheet?

Hi George,
Wayne found the Spinning Beachball of Death, and you will find it too.
Numbers is not good at handling large datasets. Might I suggest that you group your data into smaller sets (each month, perhaps?) and save each group in a separate Numbers document. Numbers will not link between documents, but you could have a summary Table within each document. Then comes the "clunky" bit of copying all those summary tables into a master document where you do the final processing of the data.
Regards,
Ian.

How to express cell format in Numbers?

In Numbers on Mac, I want all positive numbers in cells to display in blue with comma separators and a leading + sign. Example: the value 4135 should appear as +4,135
I want all negative numbers in cells to display in red with comma separators and a leading - sign. Example: the value 2167 should appear as -2,167
I know how to create this in Excel with the custom format [Blue]+#,##0;[Red]-#,##0
When I create a spreadsheet in Excel, then open the spreadsheet in Numbers, this cell format is not recognized by Numbers. Does anyone know how to create this cell format in Numbers? Thx

Hi pomme4moi,
You can get the "+", the "-" and the commas in the custom format menu.
For you colors you need conditional formatting as shown by Wayne.

Issue in cell format when exporting data to excel

Hello there,
I have an ABAP program that selects data from tables into an internal table and writes the data in CSV (excel) file.
I have a very weird issue when writing the file: The data is written properly, though the dates in my data, which is written in yyyymmdd format, has different cell format in the csv file itself. I'll expain:
Let's say I've written into CSV file a table with name and birthdate, and I have 2000 records. From record 1 to 1475, when I right-click on the date cells in those lines, and choose "cell format", I can see it's in "general" format. From line 1476 on, when I do that I see that the date cells are in format of "custom" with pattern 'yyyymmdd'.
I want all the cells to be "general". How do I do that?
Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,
Try using these Function Module......................
Before filling final internal table write those condition.................................
Data: gv_date   TYPE mch1-vfdat,
         gv_vdate(10) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
       EXPORTING
         date_internal            = gv_date
       IMPORTING
         date_external            = gv_vdate
       EXCEPTIONS
         date_internal_is_invalid = 1
         OTHERS                   = 2.
     IF sy-subrc <> 0.

OLE2. How to set cell format to percentage

how can I set the cell format to percentage? I tried with
ole2.set_property (cell, 'NumberFormat', '%');
OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Formula', '=A1/B1');
but this only print a '%' at the end of the cell. Really, the cell format is not percentage, and formula is not calculated.

solved.
ole2.set_property (cell, 'NumberFormat', '0,00%');

Hide row and cell by cell formatting

Hello,
I am new to both diadem and VBS and I am having difficulties in translating calculations between excel and diadem. I know that diadem doesn't have the same cell by cell formatting that excel does but is there a way to either hide rows that do not meet a certain condition or a way to say use an equation of the form
=IF(H5> 0,J5+M4,0), where H is the conditional column and M is the resultant column?
Thank you

Hello ccimac,
You might want to look at the IIF function to help you solve that particular problem,
Example:
Call Calculate("Ch(""ResultNV"")=IIf( Ch(""Channel1"")>1,Ch(""Channel1""),NoValue)" )
This will create a NEW data channel called ResultNV that checks (in this example) whether a channel called Channel1 is larger than 1 or not. If it is, the value will the the actual channel value, if the values are smaller than 1 the software will replace the values with a NoValue - which is DIAdem's way of saying that a "cell" contains invalid values.
Does that work for your question? Feel free to ask if you have further questions,

Excel cell formatting

I have a programme that sorts through test results and picks out the rejects according to its "delta" value. I've noticed now that some rejects weren't picked up for some reason. As a fail safe I want to be able to highlight any cell whose value is above a certain limit in two columns.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Hello Kevin,
Here is a Quick diagram that should help you get started on highlighting the data you want. It looks at the column "7" data and compares it to a requirement then changes the Cell formating to a green color if the equals is true. As you can probably guess the Flase case changes the cell color to red.
I hope this helps.

Remove currency symbol from currency cell format?

This might seem like an odd question but I only want my top row to have the currency symbol and the rest of the rows to simply have the number with no currency. I know I can switch the cell format to Numbers but then I lose the formatting of how negative numbers are displayed (quotation marks versus the negative symbol).
So, is there any way to simply remove the currency symbol from the currency cell format?

Hello
As the special format for negatives is only meaningful for currencies you can't get if if you disable the currency format.
There is an alternate way to highlight negatives but I don't know if you would be satisfied with it.
Select the cells whose format must be number, not currency.
Open the Inspector of Cells
Check "Conditional Format"
Click "Show Rules"
Of course, you may select an other color.

Spreadsheet cell format.

How can I enter numbers with leading zeros? Format submenu gives me Number format only. Should there not be a general cell format with an option to insert text?

"This is very helpful. I have a spreadsheet with about 3500-4500 numbers in Column A (ISBNs) that I will have to restore to 10 digit numbers"
Hi Bilynbrook,
Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Since all of your numbers are currently in the first column of your spreadsheet, you'll probably want to have the 'corrected' ISBNs in a column to the left of the rest of your data.
Click on the header to column B to select the entire column, then press shift -command-I to Insert cells. You'll get a new (empty) column B, and all of the data in the spreadsheet (except the contents of colunn A) will be shifted one column to the right.
If column B is no longer selected, reselect the whole column by clicking its header again. Type one of the formulas below, but don't press enter or return. Instead, press command-D to fill the formula into all the cells Down the column. Then, if you have column title information in the first row (oro more), replace the formula in the title row(s) with the appropriate title information.
Formulas:
1. Use this version if ALL of the ISBNs have already been entered, Delete the formula from any rows below the last row containing data.
2. Use this formula if you will be entering more ISBNs later. Leave the formula in the rows which contain no data as yet—the extra part keeps these cells empty until an ISBN (or other data) is entered into the cell in column A.
=IF(LEN(A1)>0,=RIGHT("0000000000"&A1,10),"")
Once you've entered the formula and filled it down the column (and done the editing mentioned above), it's a good idea to Lock all the cells in that column to prevent accidental changes. You'll still use column A to enter the ISBNs, but you won't want to see it on the page. The easiest way to hide the column A is to select it by clicking on its header, then go Format > Column Width, and set the width to zero. To enter a new number, click on column B in the appropriate row, press the left arrow key once to move to column A, then enter the number.

Barry

Unexpected Cell Formatting

Hi,
SV v11.1.2.103 with Essbase and APS patched as required.
Having constructed a drill through report in Studio and then removing it as it interfered with the DTS function, SV is still formatting cells as if the drill through report is available.
I was wondering if anyone happened to know where the cell formatting definitions might be held? If it is possible.

Hi Katie,
I have one question, how could you have the Vertical justification set to Bottom in Crystal Report XI r2?

How to customize a "distance" cell format?

I'd like to create (because, as far a I know, it isn't available) a cell format for distance. Specifically for yards, meters, miles, kilometers, etc. so that, for example, the cell would appear as 900yds or 12km (and the values could be summed in a formula, just as, for instance, currency can appear as $5.00 but the $ does not interfere with formula calculations). Can this be done? How???

Adding text indicating a specific unit is a simple matter of a custom format, as I've used here in the body cells of column B.
As can be seen in the example, the format sets the (maximum) number of places to be displayed after the decimal, and the text symbol that is to follow the numerical entry. The value is entered as a number (see entry box above the table), and the numerical value can be used in calculations (see SUM(B) in the Footer cell, which has been left with its format set to Automatic).
The choice of format is NOT dynamic. All numerical values entered in column B cells will be formatted as nnnn.nnkm, and entries that include the km suffix (typed in, or added by formula) will be interpreted as text.
Note also that formatting in this manner does NOT affect the numerical value that is entered. No conversion is done; it simply attaches the symbol to the entered value.
Regards,
Barry

How can I customize the cell format "Time"

Here's my problem:
I'm importing aschedule from my soccer club from an internet page in csv. In essence it shows me:
DateOfMatch, StartTime, EndTime
Upon import Numbers adds to the two time cells a date as this is not included in the source data.
So I end up with
yyyy-mm-dd; yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss; yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
What I need is:
yyyy-mm-dd; hh:mm:ss; hh:mm:ss
I couldn't find an option to get time only in a cell.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
Martin

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your patience.
What I want to do in the end is create an entry (appointment) in iCal This is done via a script.
The set StartDate and SetEnddate expects date&time in one cell. So far so good. This is what Numbers provides.
My problem is that the .csv file I get from the internet download comes as
yyyy-mm-dd; hh:mm; hh:mm as described earlier.
Upon import Numbers changes the format and adds a date to the "tme only" column. The date added is the import date, which I cannot use of course as I need my iCal entry to reflect the actual date of the match.
To generate the format I need for iCal I would need to delete the import date Numbers added and concatenate the imported match date with the start/end time to get the proper date aligned with the StartTime which then gets interpreted correctly by iCal.
I hope it's getting clear what I'm trying to do.
I was in the opinion there must be a way as Windows Excel can do it.
The only alternative I found so far is to change the cell formatting into text and edit the cell manually which is okay for one or two entries ...
Cheers
Martin
