Change the number format

Hi All,
Please suggest how we can change the format of a number having -ve values.
for example
I have value -1500 output should be (15,00).
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am trying to convert add '-'ve sign to a field in the template, but unable to achieve it. I tried both ways as below but unable to get the result.
1. <?format-numberCD_RECEIPT,"-,#,##0.00")?> ---by using this format it works fine for some values (302.42) but doesn't work for (1,074.58) value and recieve the below error msg
Error: Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Cannot convert 1,074.58 to number.
2. <?format-number:CD_RECEIPT;'-,999G999D99'?> --by using this the values are coming fine but doesn't assign a '-'ve sign infront of the number.
Is something wrong witht he format. Please can any one help.
Thanks!

How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements.
I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers. We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue. The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?
If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
Option 1:
- Select the cells for which you want to do this.
- Display the ruler.
- Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
- Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
Option 2:
- Select the cells for which you want to do this.
- Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
- Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
- Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
- Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
- Click Set.
- Click OK.
You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

Has iOS 5 changed the number format somehow?

Recently I tried to fill in some bank details of a client on my iphone and whenever I tried to fill in the sort code it kept removing the nought before any number, ie if I put in 35-05-06 it would put 35-5-6. Also, when I tried to put in the account no it kept adding commas after what it saw as thousands. I have never come accross this problem before and assume that the new ios5 update has caused this to happen. I have tried looking in settings to see if I can change the number format somehow but to no avail.
I just wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem and found a solution. I would be most grateful to any suggestions.

Dear Huntress.
I had done all that but no use.
Thank you so much for your response. Rgds.

How do I change the number format to the Indian-style comma separation?

So the default mode for Numbers is obviously the American-style comma seperation
ie. the number 123456789 will be displayed as: 123,456,789.
Does anyone know how to change this to accomodate the Indian counting system?
Specifically, to display 123456789 as 12,34,56,789.
Thanks!

Default language setting for Numbers will follow your System Preferences country setting. This will determine format for decimal separator. I've never checked for the Indian format in Numbers, but if your system country setting is India, you should submit Feedback to the Numbers Team via the Numbers menu and tell them about the mistake.

Can't change cell number format

Has anyone else had a cell that you can't change the number format? I had a table with a sum and it was not including 3 rows that were stuck as 'text'. Changing the format did not stick. I ended up just filling the cells from the ones that were able to change to 'number'.
Not a good feature for a spreadsheet!

This is a design flaw that I consider a bug. It depends on the keyboard used to input the numbers. If you used the text keyboard (the one you get when selecting the "T"), the "number" you enter is text; you cannot change its format and it will not show up, for example, in a sum (it is treated as a null). Type the same "number" into the cell using the number keypad (the one you get by selecting the "42") and it is a number. This makes absolutely no sense to me but its the way it works. While I might be able to buy that a "number" being entered from the text ("T") keyboard is by default treated as text, changing the format to number should work. That it does not is something I can never buy.

How do I change the number of significant digits in a slide's digital display?

I suspect I'm missing something really obvious. I want the slide's digital display to show 1.23 instead of 1.23456. Here's what I tried:
1. Drop a Horizontal Pointer Slide
2. Make its Digital Display visible
3. Type 1.23456 into that display
4. Pop up on the Digital Display and select "Display Format..."
5. Change the number of significant digits to 3 and hit "OK"
The digital display still shows 1.23456. What am I missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

LOL - I had the same problem. Hidden in plain sight! All I saw was Numeric, and thought "Duh! Of course it's numeric - it's a slider!"
I do think NI could do a much better job on this, perhaps with more informative labelling. Slider Scaling or Scale Format might be better. Also, since one can select the Digital Display by itself on the front panel, one should be taken directly to the digital display formatting when Properties is selected, instead of still having to change the dropdown. By selecting the digital display instaead of the slider, you're implying that you want to change its format only.

How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

pierre
I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
    Open System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
    Click the Advanced button.
    Click the Dates tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click the Times tab.
    Click the Restore Defaults button.
    Click OK.
    Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
    Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
    Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
    To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
    In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
    In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
    When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
    The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' " to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust
- Date/Time formats are displayed according to 'tradition' of your region > http://help.apple.com/ipad/8/#/iPad245ed123

How Do I Change The Number Of Default Audio Channels for Log & Capture

We just upgraded from FCS 1 to FCS 2. And, at the same time we upgraded from Kona II le cards to Kona IIIs. Here's the problem: we work almost exclusively with digital-based video formats where the audio is encoded into the video signal. Something with this new set-up appears to be causing FCP to "assume" that there are 16 audio channels coming into the project (I'm guessing because the Kona set-up offers "16 channel embedded audio" as the only embedded format). Worse, there doesn't appear to be any way to tell FCP to change the default. In fact, the only apparent way to change the number of tracks being ingested is to go in and manually turn off all 14 of the unwanted audio tracks. It gets to be VERY time consuming. There's got to be an easier way of resetting the default tracks.
Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for the responses, guys. I guess I wasn't really all that clear. Something to do with FCP 6 and the Kona III card is telling FCP to set up each project with 16 channels of audio - and ONLY 16 channels of audio. Anywhere that there is a drop-down or check box, the drop-down or check box is either grayed out or only provides choices centered around 16 channels of audio. So, for example, let's say I go to the "Capture Presets" tab under "Audio/Video Settings" and click on "Edit" to modify the current preset. Under "QuickTime Audio Settings," I select "AJA Kona" as my device. Then, under the "Format" drop-down, I have four possible audio formats to choose from - ALL of them showing 16 channels (e.g. - "48.000 khz 24-bit 16-channel"). Nowhere is there an option of selecting, say "48.000 khz 24-bit 2-channel." Everything under every tab specifies 16-channel. So, as a result, I can't tell it to disable the fourteen tracks that I'll NEVER use. I even tried starting with the "Generic" settings tab, used to create your own presets, and even that would ONLY allow me 16-channels - and I couldn't over-ride it!
So far, the only way I've found to work around this is to manually go in and turn off the little green nodes indicating which audio track(s) you don't want to capture. The problem is, every time I have to do this, I'm manually turning of FOURTEEN audio channels.
Hope this helps clarify...

Changing a number format

Hello,
How do you change a number format from double to pounds and pence. For example I have the number 27.85. I want to change it so it will read as ?27.85 OR ?27 and 85 pence?
Thankyou for your help in advance :)

are you just talking about printing the little pound symbol in front of the number?
If that's the case, you could just write something like this:
System.out.println("\u00A3"+ monies);where monies is your double (I'm not a brit, and I don't know if you folks have a pound symbol on your keyboards there).
If you know that with certain doubles that you will always be printing a pound symbol with them, you could always just write a method that will print whatever you have with a pound symbol in front of it.

How to override the NUMBER format in BEX?

Hi,
I want to override the number formats in BEX queries (Excel).
In the Query Designer -> Query Properties -> Value Display,
or in 3.x: Query Properties -> Display -> Number Format,
the setting "Display of +/- Signs" affects how the numeric values in Excel will be displayed. This setting seems to take effect after everything else is done.
I can change any cell formatting (pattern, border, color, etc.) except the number format. I have tried redefining Styles, assign different styles to the Result Area, setting up a default template, even Visual Basic (Sub SAPBEXonRefresh), nothing works, my settings always get overwritten by the query setting.
For example:
I am trying to assign the Number Format "Accounting", with a "$" sign in the far left of the fields, to the amounts in my workbook.
It should look like this: "$ (123,456.00)"
The results: my settings are replaced by the format "Currency" with the "$" sign.
" ($123,456.00)"
It must be due to that number format setting in the query designer.
I was hoping the number format setting in the query designer could be switched off. But apparently it is not possible. Not even the "Adjust Formatting after Refreshing" setting affects this behavior. It always takes effect.
Does anyone have any idea what could be done about it?
Thank you,
Vince

OK, I think I have just found the answer to my own question...
I had done something in the VB editor that created this whole problem. Now it is fixed and works as it should.
Thanks anyway.

Changing the number of backups??

So I recently set up Time Machine using a new 2 TB external HD. I want to change it so that it doesn't keep weekly backups until the backup disk is full (I have no need for 2 TB of backups!!). Is there any way to change the number of backups that Time Machine keeps? Say for example that backups over a month old are deleted?
Thanks!
Peter

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
No, you can't limit the age of your backups directly. That's all built-in at a low level, not configured by any file.
The only way to limit TM backups is to limit the size of the volume they're on. In your case, that would be by partitioning the drive.
You may want to wait until you've reached the level you want (a month), then partition the drive so there's very little space left on the TM partition.
But . . . there are situations where TM will need to do a very large or even full backup, so leave enough extra space to accommodate that. Our "rule of thumb" is that TM needs 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing up, but of course that varies depending on how you use your Mac.
See #D3 and #D4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for things that cause large or full backups.
See #3 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum) for partitioning info.

Is it possible to change the number of weeks to be displayed in the month view in calendar (mavericks)?

I'd like to know if it's possible to change the number of weeks to be displayed in the month view in calendar? Thanks!

No.
There are up to six calendar weeks that might be used to display the 31 possible days in a month.
So the month view displays six weeks.

Problem with the number format in the graph axis with Report Generation Toolkit.

Hi!
I'm trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit to plot some graphs in Excel.
My first problem is that I don't know how to configure the number format in the Excel Set Graph Font.vi so that my numbers are correctly displayed in the graph's axis. The only given option is general (0,0) but this is not enough for me, my numbers can get really small so I need engineering notation or fraccional format.
Second: I also insert a table with the graph source data, but the numbers are not correctly displayed either: for example:
0,75 is shown as:
0,750000
but 1,25 is shown as:
1!250!000
My guess is I am making to much or wrong string to number conversions or Excel is getting it wrong but I can't find my way...
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Isabel

Here is my VI, it's just a trial so it can look messy...
Thanks,
Isabel

How can I change the number of pages in a spread?

I imported a document that our PR department used to create in Quark into InDesign 5.5. They have it set up in four-page spreads. However, the document has always been printed with a coil binding with a large graphic on each left-hand page and text on the right page. I would like to convert to using two-page spreads. However, none of the places the InDesign help leads me give any indication of changing the number of pages per spread.
My problem may be related to having imported from Quark, but if there's an easy way to change this, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks!
-Brian

In the pages panel select the spreads then right-click and check Allow Selected Spreads to Shuffle and also Allow Documrnt pages to shuffle. If asked if you want to maintain the current page arrangement say no.
