Comma and Decimal point

Hi Gurus,
I am encountering a problem regarding printout of our SOA
Instead of the standard format of the total value (comma then decimal point (ex. 2,559.62)) output is (decimal point then comma(ex. 2.559,62)). This always happens to a particular customer only. What should I do?
Regards,
Jay

Hi,
The decimal notation of numbers in Visual Composer is based on the Locale as set in the Portal
(User Administration -> select user (or group) -> Language)
if language is not set, it's based on IE language, and afterwards on the OS language.
therefore, setting a number field formatting to "LOCALE_NUM" or checking the "Local Format" checkbox in the field's formatting tab, will cause the runtime to format the number according to the above.
Your customer is probably currently on a non US locale.
Best Regards,

Printed cheque - comma and decimal point

Hi,
My company use pre-printed cheque to make payment. However, there is some error with the printed cheque. When printed, the decimal point and the comma is somehow mixed out.
For example, amount of $1,300.50   -   will appears as $1.300,50
Why is this so ? How do I recrtify the problem ? It only happens to some cheque. Some are ok.
Thanks.

Labview Database Connection Toolkit and decimal point

Hi,
on my system I use "," (comma) as decimal point.
In Labview Options I unflagged "Use localized decimal point", and numeric controls and indicators use "." (dot) as decimal point.
The problem is that Labview Database Connection Toolkit keeps returning floating point numbers as strings with comma as decimal point.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Is this related to Labview or MySQL ODBC Connector (that I'm using to connect to a mySQL DB)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Marco

You have two or three places to look. First there is the DCT. Second, there's a couple layers there that could cause problems (the mySQL drivers and ADO) and then there's even the posibility that the issue could be in the DBMS itself.
I would start by burrowing down through all the DCT layers and find the spot where the results are actually being read back fromt he database. If the resutls are read as variants and converted to LV datatypes, the problem is on the LV side. If the values are being read as strings and converted, the problem coiuld be on the other side.

How do I Change decimal comma for decimal point

Hello,
I have an external USB keyboard and I don't know how do I change the decimal comma for the decimal point.
I already set my region but anyway I can't change the decimal comma for the decimal point.
thanks

Thanks for the link, that help me a lot, because now when I'm in excel or a calculator I hit the point key on the numeric part of my keyboard and I get a point, but when I'm in word, safari or entourage and I hit the point key on the numeric part of my keyboard I get a comma instead a point.
I have a windows Spanish ISO extended keyboard.
Thanks a lot for your help

Currency and decimal points

Hi, I have a simple spreadsheet where I'm entering dollar amounts. I'd like to format the cells so that if I type, 1636, the result will be $16.36. I've already got the cells set to currency, but I can't figure out how to get Numbers to auto-add the cents decimal point if I don't manually add it myself.
It's probably pretty easy, but I've looked around the forum for answers and I can't figure this out myself. Help is appreciated.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Numbers doesn't support converting the value entered into a cell into a different value in the same cell.
You can do the conversion in a second cell, using a formula:
C2: =IF(LEN(B2)>0,B2/100,"")

Can oracle search with wildcard(%) and decimal point(.)

South America localization with comma decimal points

Hello All:
    I am doing a simple division on a formatted search. However it is south america localization and it has the comma as decimal point instead of period. If I just do value 1 / value 2 it give me error message. if I replace , and then cast to numeric and then divide it works. But put in a trigger by formatted search it comes out as a wrong monetary value. The UDF for the FS is a quantity value. Not monetary!
    How does anyone do normal division and multiple with South America localization?
    Thank you for all the help!

The field itself is actually a UDF of type Quantity. So using the quantity select $[$38.11.0]/$[rdr1.U_myfield]
I suppose for checks you can just divide quantity by price or something! But it doesn't seems to work for me!

Setting decimal point to "," instead of "."

Hello
Can any body tell me how to set format for numeric amount in order to have
Decimal point set to "," instead of "." and thousount separator set to
blank instead of comma in HTMLDB
thank

When you create an application, you can select the language of the application.
Select the language which uses the convention you want, e.g., French (France).
You can select the application language at:
Home > Application Builder, Select "Create"
Home > Create Applicaiton, Navigate Method > Name > Pages > Tabs > Shared Components > Attribute
Once the application is created, you can specify the number format on the number type column in each page. Select the one that uses group separator and decimal point, for example, 999G999G999G999G990D00.
You can specify the number format at:
Home > Application Builder> your application > Page Definition > Report Attributes > Column Attributes

Pages: graphics and decimal digit

I wondering if I am missing something with pages
I am doing a graphic and I am filling the table with numbers for example 0,078
when I look to the graphic, pages shows only 0 without the decimal digits.
so, as my numbers (price of KWh in France!!) are all between 0,0.... , all the points on the curve stay at 0 !
is it impossible to do graphic like that with page ?
thanks for help

Eric, IanB,
I think it's a bug. Using comma as decimal "point" just causes Pages' Y-axis labelling to act as Eric described (I got the same result with German settings).
Eric, try this workaround:
Go to System Preferences/International
Choose the Formats tab
Select a Region that uses decimal points (e.g. United States)
If you don't see all regions, mark the checkbox at "Show all regions"
(Close Pages and re-)open Pages and open your file
It should now use decimal points (that's why IanB had no problem) and
the labelling should be ok.
Turn your chart into an image (e.g. select it, command-c, open Preview, command-v, save the file)
Set the Region back to your original setting
Close and re-open Pages and your file
Replace the chart with the image you created
I think it's worth to file a bug report.

Problem with comma and point

Hello,
I have a problem with comma and point in a double-digit.
I use a english driver for HM8142. When I get the values then I only get
int-digits. How can I change "Use comma as separator" . I tried to change
the option in LabVIEW.
I changed it, then I got the window. "To change, restart the programm". I
have done this. But when I have a look at the option, it is not changed.
What can I do?
I am not the admin on the computer.
Martin

Hi Martin,
you do not have to change any system settings neither in LabVIEW nor in your windows.
All instrument drivers should use a point as decimal separator. You can overwrite the decimal point handling in the string functions "Scan from string" and "Format into string".
Make a right click on the function and use "Edit Scan String". In the dialog open the ring under "Selected operation", the last entry allows you to set the character for the decimal separator. This separator will be used for all the following floating point numbers.
From your name and problem I think you are located in central europe. I do not have a german version of LV so I cannot tell you how the elements are named in german.

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)

Kramis wrote:
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.
Kramis wrote:
... but then I assume I have to use it every time I output to a string with each individual number.That is correct.
Kramis wrote:
... I was hoping for a more global method.You could place the formatter(s) in a separate class and invoke them from there: no need to create new formatter(s) every time you want to display a number. But you will have to do yourFormatter.format(aDouble) every time though.

In a pages table change the decimal point to a comma

I live in Italy and love it. However, there are issues. One that you might be able to help me with is changing the usual decimal point in a table to a comma. In Italy they use a comma for separating change from dollars instead of the usual decimal point.

I apologize but _*in many countries*_ the usual decimal separator is not the decimal point, it's the comma.

IN sharepoint 2013 custom list number type column ,decimal point shown as comma

i have a sharepoint 2013 site in which a custom list is there. In number type field while i enter decimal number, instead of decimal point comma is comming. Any help appreciate
Thanks sanjay

Hi SanjayPradhan,
According to your description, my understanding is that when type decimal point in number field, it became comma.
I made a test in my enviroment and it works like a charm.
Did you have some formula in that column ?
If yes, I suggest you can check the formula in list settings->columns.
If No, I suggest you can recreate a new list and number field to test whther it works.

Problems with the Scanner class and the decimal point

I'm creating a GUI so to get the user input (double value) I use a jText field and the Scanner to read that value:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        String time = jTextTime.getText();
       double t = new Scanner(time).nextDouble();
        String cy = Double.toString(t);
        jTextCycles.setText(cy);
    }                                  The problem is that the decimal point it's a comma so if I write:
1.2
t = (Error InputMismatchException)
1.236
t = 1236.0
1,2
t = 1.2
So I try using the parse method to get the double value:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        String time = jTextTime.getText();
       double t = Double.parseDouble(time);
        String cy = Double.toString(t);
        jTextCycles.setText(cy);
    }                            In this case the method parseDouble() takes the dot as the decimal point so if i write:
1.2
t = 1.2
1.236
t = 1.236
1,2
t = (Error InputMismatchException)
� What can I do to Scanner class to accept the dot as the decimal point?
I think that the problem is becouse in some countries (I'm from Colombia) the decimal point is a comma and in others is the dot.
Thanks

From the Javadocs for Scanner:
Localized numbers
An instance of this class is capable of scanning numbers in the standard formats as well as in the formats of the scanner's locale. A scanner's initial locale is the value returned by the Locale.getDefault() method; it may be changed via the useLocale(java.util.Locale) method.
If you change your locale to one of those that does use a comma for a decimal point, it should work.

Decimal comma instead of point for diagramm values

hello there,
would like to have decimal commas displayed instead of the decimal point. am using a diagramm with values displayed. the acsis' values are displayed correctly (with a decimal comma) but the additional values for the bars are not.
am using illustrator cs4 and mac os 10 x 10.6
thanks, schiffa11

hello,
settings are german, the values of the x- and y-axis is displayed properly with a comma. it's the additional values which are not displayed correctly.
(y-axis)
value 2,40      /////////////////////////////// value 4.21
value 1,40      /////////////////////////////////////////////////// value 6.21
value 0,40      /////////////////// value 2.21
                     value 0,00   value 1,00   value 2,00    (x-axis)
but thanks!
