Custom Numeric Format - Treat Number as Custom

Hi,
I want to be able to format the number results in thousands or even in millions. In excel, the "in thousand" format will be like this:-
_(* #,##0,;_(* (#,##0,);_(* "-"_);_(@_)
How do we do it in Answers' column properties > data format?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Is there a list of the codes to use in the custom Numeric format?

Hi,
fx of Answer's column divide with 1000000 and select number of decimals in column properties -> data format
for example table_name.amount/1000000
UPDATED POST
I think this is the only way...
If answered assign points and close thread. it would be helpful for the users in the future......
cheers,
Aravind

  • Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

    Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

    Thanks Kelly,
    The answers would be the following:
    1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
    Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
    The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
    Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
    Thanks

  • Loading custom image formats

    Hello all.
    I am wanting to load a custom image format into my Java application, and am wondering how to do that. I have a few ideas to try but I figure if there is a site out there (or someone with the knowledge), there is no need for me to re-invent the wheel. So hopefully, someone might be able to expedite my learning. :)
    The image format I want to read actually contains multiple images, with 1 color palette at the end of the file. I'd like to create a series of (I assume) BufferedImages for all the images contained within the file.
    Are there any sites out there that can send me through a quick tutorial on rolling my own images, or can anyone give me a short function to do so?
    Thanks so much!

    Okay... I failed. I could really use some help in getting this work. Please.
    I have a file, which contains 1 or more compressed bitmap images and a palette. I have a small Perl script that will convert the images in the file into multiple bitmap image files, so I know where the data is and I know I have the data locations right. :)
    To create a BITMAP, I must reverse the order of the palette (perl function):
    sub reversePalette() {
      my $output = "";
      for (my $i=0; $i < length($_[0]); $i=$i+4) {
        $output = $output . substr($_[0], $i+2, 1) . substr($_[0], $i+1, 1) . substr($_[0], $i+0, 1) . chr(0);
      return $output;
    }For the image data itself, it uses a simple RLE encoding. If I see a 0, I check the next number and "uncompress" the data by adding that many 0's to the output file.
    So, what I would like to do is convert my Perl script into a Java class that will take this sprite file and return an array of BufferedImages, which can then be used for whatever.
    Any help in this would be greatly appreciated! I can't even figure out how to properly load a valid BMP file manually using WritableRaster and ColorModel. I'm so lost. :(

  • Custom Data Formatting Gone for Dates

    Another new aspect of the updated Numbers app for OS X is the loss of customizing data formats.  There are more options via a drop down, but there's less customization.  For example.  I had a use case where I'd take a column full of dates and would replicate it so the same data was in two columns.  I then was able to customize the first column of dates to use a month shortcode only so it would render "Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr..." depending on the data in that column.  The next colum with the same data I'd then customize to show only the day of the month.  See the example below.
    Date
    Column 1
    Date
    Column 2
    Jan
    4
    Mar
    15
    Oct
    23
    Presently, neither the shortnames for months by themselves nor the day of the month by itself is available as an option when working in the Data Format panel.
    I'm assuming the customization was killed, but if someone knows if that's hidden elsewhere, please let me know!

    Hi Bret,
    I don't know the answer to your actual question as I tend to later adoption, and am not yet using Numbers 3.0, but here's a workaround (with some limitations, noted below).
    Limitations:
    Requires that the values in the cells are created by formulas, or can be created by formulas referencing another cell.
    The resulting values will be a text string (column A) or a numeric value (column B), not a Date and Time value.
    A: =LEFT(MONTHNAME(MONTH(formula)),3)
    B: =DAY(formula)
    In each, formula is the existing formula used to determine the D&T value currently in the cell.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Custom Data Format

    I am using the new version of numbers and cannot find an option for custom data format. Has it been removed or am I missing something? Can someone point me out where it is? Either that, or let me know how to get a bigger currency list as the currency I am wanting is not there.

    Hi Cullen,
    Thank you for this workaround. I did as you said, and it works, unlike copy and paste from Numbers 2.3 to Numbers 3.0 .
    In Numbers '09 (version 2.3) I created two Custom formats.
    Column A is the inbuilt Date and Time format showing only the Date (my region's date format is Day Month Year).
    Column B is a Custom Format to show short Month, space, short year.
    Column C is the inbuilt format for Number.
    Column D is a custom Format to show leading zeroes.
    Then I did as you said and saved the Numbers 2 document (as a document for future use, not as a Template, because I am not sure how Templates are shared between the two versions on Numbers).
    Then File, option key > Save As... a new name to preserve my original from harm by Numbers 3.0 .
    In Numbers 3, (as you said) open the spare copy and the Custom formats are indeed listed. Format Inspector > Cell > Data Format
    And they do work. Here is where I edited the cell content by entering new values from the keyboard:
    I shall place a link to this thread on the thread named "Workarounds in Numbers 3.0?"
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372#
    Thanks for this.

  • Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
    But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.

  • "Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

    Dear all,
    I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
    Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
    Thank you!
    Kyle

    Issue resoved.
    For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

  • How to use custom label formats to display currency and percentage

    Hi There,
    I need a pie chart to display both currency and percentage. I have the cell format editor open for custom cell formats (from the pie chart label format menu) but am not sure how to write the expression.
    I've tried something like this but get an error:
    $ #,###  -  % #,###
    How can I display both currency and percentage for the same label?
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    labels built into Keynote can be displayed as percentage or value, not both
    The choice is made in:   Inspector > chart > series > data point settings
    the work around is to manually add text boxes with the currancy value entered in each box, as in $2.00

    and second figure i need total number of customer who purchase

    HI,
    Maintain the Total Customer as an attribute..
    Then this characteristic has the values from master data..
    THen Convert this characteristic into key figure using Formula Variable with Replacement path.
    Using Formula varaible with replacemant path,  we can convert a characteristic into key fure..
    I Hope u can achieve the result now...
    Hope this helps u..
