Custom Number Format With Leading & Trailing Zeros

Hi!
How can I define following number format in Apple Pages (v3.5)?
Positive numbers: +#'##0.00 (e.g. +0.30 or +5'000.00)
Negative numbers: -#'##0.00 (e.g. -0.30 or -5'000.00)
If I create a custom number format and enable Show Trailing Zeros, the leading zero is not shown (e.g. +.30 instead of +0.30). Number format with Thousands Separator enabled comes closest to what I need, but misses the plus sign for positive numbers (which I need to represent differences).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Tuna,
Maybe the currency format would work for you,
The plus sign is problematic. With the above your negative numbers will be red and in brackets, positive numbers will be black. You could use conditional highlighting to change that.

Has someone knowlege of how to use Custom Number Format in Numbers V3.0

Hello Everyone,
From Excel to Numbers '09 I worked with Custom Number Format.
Making formats like 60 sec, km/h or m/s².
In the new Version 3.0 it is not under 'Format'/Custom Number Format.
I did not find it! Has someone found a way to do it the old way.
I am working with the German version.
Bye

Limmy,
There is no option in Numbers 3.0 for Custom Format. If that is mandatory for your purposes, it is still available in Version 2.3.

Global Custom Number format

Hi, I've searched in the forum and help for this to no avail.
It seems that you should be able to define a custom number format and have it stored so that you can use it again. But whenever I do this it only applies to that document.
Is there a way to have custom formats stored in the Cell Format list?

I don't know how to make it "global" but you can open the blank template, make your custom format, then save the document as a template and it will be in any new document you create with that new template.

Display numbers formatted with leading zeros or spaces.

There are some cases where you might need to display numbers with leading zeros or leading spaces, or trailing zeros. I experimented with several methods and came up with some examples. This is a Console application, but the results can just
as well be output to a listbox in a Windows form.
Sub Main()
Dim snum As String, inum As Integer = 56
snum = inum.ToString()
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString()")
snum = inum.ToString("D4") 'adds leading zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString(""D4"")")
snum = inum.ToString("F4") '4 decimal places with trailing zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString(""F4"")")
Console.WriteLine()
snum = String.Format("{0,4}", inum) 'leading spaces
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0,4}")
snum = String.Format("{0:D4}", inum) 'leading zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0:D4}")
snum = String.Format("{0:F4}", inum) '4 decimal places with trailing zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0:F4}")
Console.WriteLine()
snum = inum.ToString().PadLeft(4, "0"c) 'leading zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " PadLeft(4, ""0""c)")
snum = inum.ToString().PadLeft(4, " "c) 'leading spaces
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " PadLeft(4, "" ""c)")
Console.ReadLine() Console.Clear()
        For x As Integer = 1 To 20
            snum = x.ToString("D4")
            Console.WriteLine(snum)
        Next x
        Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

I would add that many of these methods also work with numeric types that are not integers.
Note that the "D4" format string doesn't work for non-integral types (such as Double and Decimal), and the "F4" format string doesn't pad with trailing zeros, it rounds to 4 decimal places (which can lose information). PadLeft works with
the entire string, it isn't aware of the decimal point.

External number Range with leading zeros for Handling Units

Hi Experts
    My requirement is to use the External number for the Handling Units provided by vendor.That number starts with 2digits"00"+18 for Example:00123456789123456789
I am Using HU_VEKP Object for no range and maintaining
External No Range From 00000000000900000000 to 00000000000999999999.
But When i am giving Number 00000000000900000001 its only taking
900000001.
Kindly suggest me the right way to take leading zeros.
Rewards for answer sure if it works.

Hi Laksmipathi
                      I am maintaining the number range for External number range coz its vendor supplied HU.
           But the prefix zeros has meaning for identifying the Handling unit Functionality.In realtime IF prefix contains Say "0000" it refers to carton
If prefix contains say "0010" it refers to pallet.
           So i need to satisfy there requirement.For example If it is for material number we can maintain In OMSL by check box of leading zeros.
            But i am not able to find any setting for this Handling units.U can check this object HU_VEKP in SNRO tcode where i am maintaining Number range.
Thanks give suggestion

Custom Number Format Default to Numeric Keyboard

Hello,
I recently put together a timesheet form for our superintendents. I have some fields to accept our company's 6-digit cost codes. Initially, I used the general Number format. This worked well since, on the iPad, the numeric keyboard came up by default and only numbers were accepted. However, there was no limit to the number and it always removed the leading "0", which was not acceptable. Our cost codes are layed out as follows:
011010
082010
120010
It was important that we retain the leading "0". Then, after some research I found a code (entered into to Custom format) on this forum allowing me to retain that zero:
event.rc = true;
if (event.value) {
     if (/^\d{6}$/.test(event.value)==false) {
          app.alert("Error! The entered value must be 6 digits.");
          event.rc = false;
This worked well... however, I am back to the numeric keyboard not being default and the field accepting letters as well as number.
MY QUESTION:
How do I create a numeric only, exactly 6-digit field that will open the numeric keyboard on the iPad (like the number field does). Is this possible?

Number formatting with either 2 decimal places or none

Hello,
I'm using Acrobat 8 in XP and not familiar with Javascript.
I have some dollar amount fields where I need it to be number formatted, and limited to 2 decimal places but leave the user the ability to enter only an integer.
ie, go to two decimal places if any of
> .
> .0
> .00
> .000(...)
are present but leave it off if none are present.
I assume I need a custom format script but I've not been able to learn enough to figure it out yet.
If anyone can give me some code I can edit and paste, that would be great. Any help is appreciated.

> Have a String as "3.0000000"
String s = "3.0000000";
System.out.printf("%.2f", Double.parseDouble(s)); // 3.00

Maintain same customer number twice with different GUIDs

Recently, R3 refreshed, but CRM not. After refresh R3 is having few customer & product numbers, which were same as earlier. That means those customers & products already exist in CRM. I run initial load for customizing & master data from R3 to CRM.
Now, I can see existing product number can be downloaded from R3 & result is same product number present twice in CRM with different GUIDs.
For customer, I am not able to download existing customer number via initial load. I am getting mapping error & error description - "Customer number EKC3137 is already assigned to a business partner". Delta load also failed for same customer with error - "Business partner with GUID 15ECAD322FDA074BB8B125DEDB4194DB does not exist". I checked & found existing entry in CRM is having different GUID for this customer.
Can anyone suggest how to download this customer with new GUID, keeping same customer with different GUID. This means expected result is same customer number maintained twice with two different GUIDs. Definitely old customer can not be updated from R3, but new one can be updated in future.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi.
Everytime you do a not simultaneous client copy you will get this inconsistencies on middleware data.
You can correct this as described below:
CUSTOMERS:
Apply note 609766 in order to create a report that will correct the customers Guids on tables: R/3: CRMKUNNR and CRM: CRMM_BUT_CUSTNO .
MATERIAL:
R/3 table that contains CRM product guid: NDBSMATG16
CRM table: COMM_PRODUCT
SAP recomends to delete all products and replicate them again: COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE
Possible problem if you also have price condition tables on CRM (the product Guids will be the old ones so yoiu will have to download all pricing data again).
CONTACT PERSONS:
R/3: CRMPARNR
CRM: CRMM_BUT_CONTNO
Apply note 703322 and run report Z_OSS_000400_2004 on R/3 and corrects the inconsistencies.

Custom number format

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out the rules to define new format number in the custom dialog. E.g. I tried 999G999G999G999G990D99 'cause I want a long numeric field with group simbol and 2 decimal digits and the result is
201.103.869,40
The problem is that I want ' as digit group simbol and not the .
201'103'869.40
Is there a rule to specify the ' and not the .?
Or do I have to change any option somewhere to insert the new digit group simbol?
(Windows Regional Options display decimal simbol . and group simbol ' as the case I desider).
Tnx a lot.

Well, if you know the field will always contain a certain number of digits then you could do a work-around such as the following.
SUBSTR(Your_Data_Element,1,3)||"'"||SUBSTR(Your_Data_Element,4,3)||"'"||SUBSTR(Your_Data_Element,8,3)||'.'||SUBSTR(Your_Data_Element,12,2)

Web-i Custom Number Format Document

I am trying to configure a date to show in a specific format (i.e. MM/DD instead of something else). I realise that I could create new variables (formatdate function)...but this is time consuming as I have many date objects.
Does anyone know of any documentation for using the 'Format Number'> New Custom Format for dates?
If not, how can I have my date/time display as dd-mm HH:mm ?
Tjamls

Hi Joe,
You cant define DATE syntax in format-number. Instead right click on DATE column, go to format-number -- date/time --- custom and add the following.
Observe below screenshot.
Now all dates will be in DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS format.

Error in Number format with numbers 3.0

Hi.
I have just purchased Apple Numbers 3.0. It's running on a Mac Book Pro Retina on OS X Mavericks
I can't use it at all.
When I enter numbers in the cels it formats the numbers wrong. I'm danish, but run OS X in english with danish region settings.
What happens is that when i for instance write 20 in B3, it autocorrects it to 0020, and then I can't calculate on it.
If i set it to English region it works. But since I'm danish I would expect Apple to respect me using my own language.

Report the bug to Apple with the Numbers > Feedback tool.

Numeric format with leading sign

Hi,
I am sending some data to external agency thru my info spoke extraction. They want the - sign leading the amount field, Eg I asm sending as 400- and they want -400. I am looking for any component type that supports this kind of format on currency filed. I am expecting this change to be done in the TARGET STRUCTURE, so I don't have to code it in my BADI to produce this format.
Any ideas. It is URGENT.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
   For this one, Function Module available in R/3. But that function module is not available in BW.
But you can create it: Thia is the code.
FUNCTION ZPUT_NEGATIVE_SIGN_FRONT.
""Local interface:
*" CHANGING
*"     VALUE(VALUE)
DATA: TEXT1(1) TYPE C.
SEARCH VALUE FOR '-'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0 AND SY-FDPOS <> 0.
    SPLIT VALUE AT '-' INTO VALUE TEXT1.
    CONDENSE VALUE.
    CONCATENATE '-' VALUE INTO VALUE.
ELSE.
    CONDENSE VALUE.
ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.
Only specify parameters for Changing :
Here "Value" .
For your input : 100-, you will get outpt : -100.
Hope it Helps

HI KC,
then no need to download the zeros,
after uploading, loop at that uploaded internal table and use CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT and pass the vbeln(without zeros) to this FM, it will return the value with added zeros.
hope this solves your query
a small example
Loop at itab into is.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = is-vbeln "( this is without zeros)
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = is-vbeln. "( this is with leading zeros)
modify itab from is.
endloop.
