Cell formatting problem with formula

I have a table in my spreadsheet document, which contains working time details of my job. Column B is time of beginning, column D is time of stop. Both B and C columns are formatted as "date and time". In column E, there is a formula "=C2-B2", and so on for other rows, formatted automatically as "duration".
After a several rows (closing a month), in column F (at F14), there is a SUM formula of column E "=SUM(E2:E14)".
I tried to calculate the total sum for my monthly invoice at G14, with formula "=F14*6000", and i formatted this cell (G14) as Currency, but i see this cell as duration, after formatting the cell as currency too.
Thanks.

Thanks, Badunit!
You saved my day
I switched from OpenOffice.org to iWork 2 weeks ago, and this duration format tricked me second time.
Numbers is a bit strange for me now, but i learn quickly...

Hi,

1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.

Smartform: Formatting Problem with QUAN-Field

I want to print a smartform and get exception 1 (formatting error). With function SSF_READ_ERRORS I get an error table. There is on entry: errnumber = 020011, msgid = SSFCOMPOSER, msgty = E, msgno = 601, msgv1 = wa_outtab-menge.
It seems to be a formatting problem with field WA_OUTTAB-MENGE. But in the structure this field is referenced correctly.
Does anybody know a solution?

I solve this kind of problem in my SmartForm.
Try this:
Go to "Global Definitions" Node, then "Current/Quant.Fields" tab and set these values:
Field Name: WA_OUTTAB-MENGE
Reference Field: WA_OUTTAB-MEINS
Data Type: QUAN

Whatsnew page for 3.6.17 has formatting problems with Firefox and I.E.

I just updated from 3.6.16 to 3.6.17n and the whatsnew page, displayed after Firefox restarted, has formatting problems in the lower right hand corner.
I checked it with I.E. 8 and it also shows the formatting problem.
Why wasn't this caught before the page was put into "production"?
The URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.17/whatsnew/
There is a line with the text "Release Notes » Firefox Features » Firefox Help »" that is being displayed on top of other material.
I wonder what a new Firefox user or an inexperienced user would think of this? They might think that they did something wrong or, worse, they might consider Firefox had problems and they won't use it.
This reflects badly on Firefox.
One more thing, could someone make this textarea taller and wider. It is so small as to cause problems typing and proofing the material.
The URL is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d6&search=whatsnew+page+for+3.6.17+has+formatting+problems+with+Firefox+and+I.E.&showform=1
How about upping the cols and rows values? They are currently rows="10" cols="40"

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

Distribution and collection wizard problem with formulas

Hi gurus,
I've an input schedule I want to distribute through the distribution wizard, this input schedule, has some rows where the user should enter data and some rows with formula using the data the user filled before.
When I collect the data I notice that the wizard only collect the user entered and remain untouched the data from the formulas.
If i enter the data in the input schedule directly (without using the distribution wizard) it works and the system send to the database the data I entered and the data from the formulas.
I activated the parameter REFRESH_CACHE_BEFORE_COLLECT, but it doesn't make any difference.
Any idea.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jose,
Could you find a solution? We're having a similar problem.

Data format problem with Write to Spreedsheet File

I have a problem with the data format with Write to spredsheet file.
I have an N*3 array, where the 3 elements in each row should has different length. When I used Write to spreedsheet file,
it can only save the three data in one format. How can I save them in the format of "%0.8f %0.3f %0.2f"?
Thanks for your help.

Hi powerplay,
another solution may be to convert column-wise using "number to fractional string", then interleaving resulting arrays and again using "array to spreadsheet string" (with "space" as separator).
Many ways lead to Rome

Formatting problem with windows XP

Hmmm... I have several older macs that I'm currently using for parts for both my G4 and my PC. The problem I'm having is with the HDDs. I've removed several internal IDE hard drives (from 3.2 to 15 GB) all of which are formatted for mac OS9.1 extended. They work great in my G4 but my PC (windows XP professional) won't even recognize them and I can't re-format them in DOS on my mac because that option isn't available in drive setup..
Do I need a third party program (either mac or PC and what would you recommend) or is there someway to work around this? I would hate to just throw them out because they do work
I realize this isn't critical but it is a bit of a pain and any help would be appreciated.
G4 Mac OS 9.1.x

Thanx again Tom!
The only problem with Swissknife is that it only works on drives that are already recognized by the PC. I can't even get these guys to show up, let alone mount! I even have a USB to IDE connection so I can attach them externally. It works great on my PC formatted HDs but still won't register my mac ones..
by the way, I tried your idea with OS9 and it still won't let me format in DOS
Is a puzzlement..

BW - problem with formula variable (date format)

Hi,
(sorry if I'm using different term than yours.. this is my 2nd query.. still new with BW)
I need to create 1 query: Support Message Aging Report.
Basically it will have 5 columns: Not Due, 0 Day, 1 Day, 2-10 Days, >10 Days.
and 1 input selection is: key date.
the formula is: number of aging day = key date - due date.
I have no issue on the 1st and 2nd column. For that I just create 1 customer exit.
My problem is on how to separate the over due support message by day (due date < key date).
I tried create 2 formula variable for key date and due date. Then from these 2 vars, I can get the number of days.
Problem comes when the calculation is cross month/year. I suspect maybe because the return from the formula var is in number format and not date... yyyymmdd. Then, I change the dimensions from number to date.. it is working for key date.. dd.mm.yyyy.
but for the due date, I got problem... it keeps give me warning saying: value 'D' invalid for property dimension of element etc.///
below are details for both formula variable.. please advice which area should I fix or maybe you can suggest any good idea for my query.. thanks so much
1. ZKEYDATE - customer exit (value input data) - dimensions date - NO ISSUE (OUTPUT: dd.mm.yyyy)
2. ZDUEDATE - replacement path (ref char ZBW02C08) - replacement rule: infoobject, key - dimension date - GOT WARNING...
ZBW02C08: contains due date and the type is date: yyyymmdd

If I were you, I'd try two things:
best way - have the infoprovider changed to have a new key figure for the number of days difference
- to do this with formulae (especially crossing months and years - what about leap years) is hard to maintain and develop
other way - make a virtual key figure - i did this once but I forget how exactly. There's a userexit or BADI somewhere which can be used for this.
Either of these ways allows the calculation to be done in ABAP itself where date1 - date2 gives you the number of days difference.
By the way though, this is in the wrong forum. I'd bet if this was in a BI forum, you'd have an answer already.

Numeric Format problem with 0 value

I have a numeric column in a Webi report. There are some values showing a 0. My customer doesn't want the 0 value to be shown, instead of it she wants the dash sign ( - ) to be shown, just like in Ms Excel.
I do right-click on the column and choose Number Format. Then I choose Number and any of the formats shown in the list. Then I check the Custom option. In the Equal to Zero box I input a dash sign because I want this sign - to be shown instead of the 0 values. But it doesn't work. Instead of the dash it shows a blank cell.
What can I do to solve this problem? Is it a bug in Business Objects XI?

Thanks for your post!
I was wrong when using the Format Number option in WebI because I was putting just the dash sign and with your post now I know that I had to use a backslash sign like you mention \- , instead of just placing in the 'Equal to Zero' box this - sign.
So it works not only in Universe Designer but in WebI too.

Problem with formula in the query

HI ,
In cube I have 2 fileds EU date and US date .
For example :
In cube EU date =07/02/2008
US date = 23/02/2008
In the query we have a formula with these 2 fields
formula is DUE date = DATE ( ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1 ) * 'Due date US' + ( 'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 2 ) * 'Due date EU' )
In the varaible screeen we have a '"Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"
So if u enter 1 it takes EU date and display as due date if u enter 2 it take US date and display as due date.
Problem is :
When we give "'Enter 1 = US; 2 = EU - Asia' == 1"---this value 2
in the report in some cases we get due date as 02/07/2008 instead of 07/02/2008. This is not for all records only few we get like this . and for US due date this problem is not there.
Please suggest what might be the problem.

Hi,
Please check again the cell value because it may contain correct value but display may be different.
You can apply the common display property fot the whole column using the workbook properties and saving the workbook.

Anil

Formatting problems with document

Ok I've made an estimate form in pages and put a table in it. Adding a table has done a lot of odd things to the document. I can't change the spelling on any words inside the table. It will hightlight them as incorrect but I'm unable to change the spelling using my mouse for suggestions. I can change it manually if I can figure out how to spell the word.
But here are my real problems, please see attached screenshot.
1) In the line total column it won't allow me to put a period after the dollar amount. I put it there and it keeps removing it!
2) I can't line up the text in the 2 columns. Because when I put in the $640. where I want it to be (using return key) once I finish putting in the number it puts it at the top of the column. I can't keep it down by the text "Labor and Materials". As you can see by the red underline I had to put in text there and make it white so it won't show up to move the $640. down.
Can someone tell me how to fix these 2 issues??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Susan

Hi!
I would use cells with the same height. I would only write one line in each cell, at least for the ones that will have a number in the next cell to the right. You really don't need a punctuation after the number. I have used the formatting options in the Inspector. I have changed the cell borders for some cells to none (see the second image). I do this on Snow Leopard, not on Lion like you have. The spelling correction problem must someone else test. It works on my computer to right click on the misspelled word

HT201071 RAW format Problem with NIKON D600 after updating to maverick.

We still have problems after this update.
Pictures in RAW format imported to Aperture are brilliant as they are with the NIKON D600. Imported Pictures with the NIKON D800 are aweful. They are kind of grey without any saturation. To convert every single Picture to JPEG brings back their brilliance and colors. We have consulted the apple and the aperture support, but they dind't have any solution to fix our issue.
Any ideas?

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

Problems with formulas

Although I have had much experience with spreadsheets in Excel and Quattro Pro, I am having problems creating a valid formula in Numbers '09.
=sum(tablename :: f2:f7)/cellname_f11 gives me a valid answer in % of 43.32%
=(cellnamef8*0.6666)/cellnamef11 gives me a valid answer of 11.39%
But the following formula gives me an erroneous answer:
=sum(tablename :: f2:f7)+(cellnamef8*0.6666)/cellnamef11
The percent returned is: 31,039,149.90%, whereas it should be about 54%
A similar formula in Quattro Pro gives a correct answer:
(e2e3+e4+e5+e6+e7(e8*2/3))/e11
I really would appreciate your help on this, as I am trying to move spreadsheets to Mac and Numbers '09.
BobDuluth

Bob,
I think if you could go back and try your expression in Quattro Pro again, you'd get the same answer that Numbers did with that expression. It's a standard practice in math, since long before computerized spreadsheets, to do the multiplication and division before doing the addition and subtraction, unless over-ridden by parentheses.

Numerical Characters Formatting Problem With XML Report Output Run From Command Line

Hi,
Problem description is:
When a BI Publisher concurrent job is submitted as a child job of a PL/SQL type concurrent request, the locale in OPP is not set same as of RTF template selected. This results in number format and date format localization not work as expected. For example, when BI Publisher child job is submitted after attaching RTF template (through fnd_request.add_layout API) having language-territory as de-DE, the number format on PDF output comes out as 9,999.00 instead of 9.999,00.
Points to notice:
1. In OPP log we noticed that xslt._XDOLOCALE always has value EN-GB irrespective of language-territory of attached RTF template
2. NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER column in fnd_concurrent_request table has no value for BI Publisher job. We can set it up through fnd_request.set_options API but it is not a desired solution. We need that OPP should automatically choose correct number format depending on locale of selected RTF template
3. When same child BI Publisher job's output is re-processed through "XML Publisher Report" program and de-DE locale is chosen for RTF template then the number format localization works fine.
Please help us to understand root cause of this issue and how it can be resolved.
Thanks!
