Decimal format to 2 decimal places ????

Hello Everyone,
I have created a web dynpro application which to display a report depending on the data given by the BAPI. But there is some issue with the numeric data returned by the BAPI.
For ex - if the BAPI returns 5.00 the value is displayed in the report as 5.
I want uniform decimal values till 2 decimal places. For example 5 shd come as 5.00, 2.1 shd come as 2.10 etc.
I searched SDN abt this, and found many threads relating to this.
I tried using decimal format, creating a simple dictinary type, but using all this what happens is the value basically changes to a string format, this implies that the value is displayed in the table as "left-aligned".
Where- as we need the decimal numeric values to be right-aligned.
Any thoughts how to achieve this.
Please correct me if I have missed out on anything.
Thanks,
Samta

Hi,
From wat i understood.. u have a attribute coming from BAPI.. which you want to display with two decimal places,,
In this case.. assuming it is coming with 2 decimal places from the backend.. create a value node.. inside the node which contains the output data. set its carinality to 1..1 .. create a value attribute of type big decimal in it.. or probably string.. if there is an issue in displaying BigDecimal directly..
map this new attribute to the necessary column in the table..
BigDecimal value = new BigDecimal("the actual value in string or long").setScale(2);
assign this to the value attribute created..
(If alignment is the problem.. set the column 's textview property halign to right.. and layout as block or paragraph.. )

Formatting currencies and decimal places

I'm currently using NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() to format numbers as currency. However, one problem I'm having is that I'd like values with no cents to be formatted with no decimal places, and any values with cents to be formatted with the usual 2 decimal places. For example:
17 would be formatted as $17
17.45 would be formatted as $17.45
17.4 would be formatted as $17.40
The last one is the tricky part--I've tried formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(0), and this works great for the first two cases. But for the last case, the number gets formatted as $17.4.
Basically my problem is I want a number to be formatted with zero or two decimal places and nothing in between. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise you are likely to find that you are getting .00 due to errors from previous calculations. You are right. Adjusted it to Locale aware

}The value adjustedValue is needed since NumberFormat doesn't seem to round the value. It just breaks.

Convert a column in Numbers that is currently in HH:MM format to decimal format.

I need to Convert a column in Numbers that is currently in HH:MM format to decimal format. IE 6:30 to 6.5

Rj,
There are two possibilities here. Your HH:MM could be a Date/Time value or a Duration.
Let's assume your data is in Column A.
If it's a Date/Time value, do the conversion with the expression:
=TIMEVALUE(A) * 24
If it's a Duration value, do the conversion with the expression:
=DUR2HOURS(A)
In both cases, remember to Format the result to Number with at least one decimal place.
Regareds,

Currency decimal format

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is any table which stores the currency format for decimal places. for e.g some currencies use a period to indicate the decimal place while some use a comma.
if the amount is 127.54
in USD it will be 127.54
in FRF it will be 127,54
Is there any table which stores this information as to which currencies use comma and which use period.
Thanks,
Prasy

I think the decimal format is controlled by the user setting not the currency being output. For example:
REPORT ztest LINE-SIZE 80 MESSAGE-ID 00.
DATA: amt TYPE bseg-dmbtr VALUE '123.45'.
WRITE: /001 amt CURRENCY 'FRF'.
gives output for me as:
123.45

How to stopping rounding using decimal format

my problem is as
1. I am taking a double input in a jtextfield
2. Now i am using decimal format to round it to 6 decimal places
Now , how to make sure that decimal format while formatting do not round
like If input is 1.2345678 i want to get 1.234567 not 1.234568

That's not really an SCCSE.
Anyhow, why not just use Double.parseDouble() if you don't want any rounding etc. Don't forget to catch the NumberFormatException:
parseDouble
public static double parseDouble(String s)
throws NumberFormatException
Returns a new double initialized to the value represented by the specified String, as performed by the valueOf method of class Double.
Parameters:
s - the string to be parsed.
Returns:
the double value represented by the string argument.
Throws:
NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable double.
Since:
1.2

How do I convert an 8 bit serial data string I have received (say 01110101) into decimal format??

I am having a hard time finding a function that will help me convert an 8 bit serial data string I have received (say 01110101) into decimal format.

When you have your front panel displayed, you should a whole palette of controls that you can place on the front panel. If the palette is not displayed, thne just right click on your mouse and it should appear. The upper left most set of controls on the palette is Numeric. Go there and select Numeric Indicator to display a numeric output. On the diagram, you can also right click the output 1 and select Create>Indicator. The format string is %b (as in boy) for a binary string. As I said, this should be the value for the format string input. You can right click on the Scan From String and select Edit Scan String. This will bring up a dialog box in which you pick what you want to do (Scan Number) and how you want to do it (Scan Binary Integer
It sounds like you really need to take a course in LabVIEW programming. There are are links here to NI classes and some on-line tutorials.

Key figure Date in Decimal format

Hi all,
   I have a key figure 0CPR_ACFR_K (Date) which is in Decimal format.
   Data in PSA for the particular field was like this '07102008'
   but after that it is changing to 7327.98 that is in decimal format.
   But i dont want this to happen ie. it should not get converted to Decimal or
   i want to convert the decimal value again to the equivalent date.
   pls help in this.

Hi jean liker,
It will get converted due to its properties. If you want to use this particular object as keyfigure, you can create a variable with processing type replacement path and use. Its better to maintain as char.
[Replacement Path: Replacement with a Characteristic Value|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/03/6ba03cc24efd1de10000000a114084/frameset.htm]

Convert a String to Decimal Format in European format

Hi Experts,
I am having a string as a context type for a input field, where the user can enter the Price, I need to convert the same into European format "###.###,00", I am using this below code to convert the string to decimal format
User will enter the input as 10 as it needs to be converted into 10,00. Also, 1000 which has to be converted as 1.000,00
String Str1 = wdContext.currentvn_temptable.getVa_TempUnitPrice();
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern="###.###,00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(Str1);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Unit Price" + " " + pattern + " " + output);
When I execute the above code, i am getting an error called "Malformed Pattern ###.###,00"
Please let me know, how to convert a String to Quantity in European format
Thanks & Regards,
Palani

Hello!
Try to change your pattern to this one
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern = "#,#00.00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(1111111.222);
Pattern has an influence on number of digits between separators, but you have to use ',' for grouping and '.' for decimal. Character values for separators correspond to your Locale object.
Thanks, Mikhail

Decimal format time value to convert into time (hr:min:sec)value in a graph

I need to develop a graph in WAD, in BW7. In the graph the value must be showed as HR:MIN:SEC, which I cannot get it right.
The keyfigure value carries the duration(hr:min:sec) in decimal format. In the query, I use this keyfigure for calculation. To get the time broadcasted for a week range. I get the total duration (say 507835.000). Now I need to convert this value back to hr:min:sec. I use the below formulas to get the hr, min, sec.
D = 507835
Val1 = D/3600
Val2 = Frac(val1)
Val3 = Val2 * 60
Val4 = frac(Val3) * 60
Hr = Val1 Val2
Min = Val3 frac(Val3)
Sec = Val4
In another formula in the query I add Hr + Min/100 + Sec/10000 to get hr.minsec format.
When I do an average on count of weeks, this doesnt round off correctly.
I tried to also use the Data function TIME() which when the time is > 24 hrs changes the value.
Lets say if it is 39:00:00, it shows value as 15:00:00 instead of keeping the value 39:00:00.
When I used this value in the graph it did not show the HR:MIN:SEC values in the value axis instead it showed 0.0, 0.1,.1.0. Bcoz of this the graph is blank.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks alot
Anima

I checked SU01 and didn't see anything there to customize...
In my workstation, control panel / regional and languages settings / tab regional Options / customize; my time format is HH:mm:ss; the HH has to be in capital letter to display the time in 24 hour...
but this is strange anyway... are you reporting with web frontend or excel?

Decimal Format and Scientific Notation

I am trying to print numbers in scientific notation using the Decimal Format class. What follows is a simple test program I wrote to find the bug. So far, I have not found a solution.
import java.text.*;
public class formatted {
public static void main (String Arguments[]) {
DecimalFormat form = new DecimalFormat("0.###E0");
double numb = 123456.789;
System.out.println("Nuber is: " +
form.format(numb));
The output of this program is... Nuber is: 123456E
The output is the same if numb is an int, float, or double. If I format the number as "#####.0" or "#####.00" the output is correct. I think that I am following the rules for formatting a number in scientific notation as the process is outlined in the documentation (provided below).
***** From Decimal Format under Scientific Notation ***
Numbers in scientific notation are expressed as the product of a mantissa and a power of ten, for
example, 1234 can be expressed as 1.234 x 10^3. The mantissa is often in the range 1.0 <= x < 10.0,
but it need not be. DecimalFormat can be instructed to format and parse scientific notation only via a
pattern; there is currently no factory method that creates a scientific notation format. In a pattern,
the exponent character immediately followed by one or more digit characters indicates scientific
notation. Example: "0.###E0" formats the number 1234 as "1.234E3".
Anyone understand how the short program is incorrectly written?
Marc

The problem is
format = "0.###E0"
input number = 123456.789
output = 123456E (not scientific notation!)
This is not scientific notation at all. There is no decimal point given and no value in the exponent.
I understand entirely that by adding more #'es will provide more precision. The bug I have is the output is not printed in the scientific format; other formats work.

Time format to Decimal format

Hi all
Does anyone know how to format time format to decimal number?
Eg: '10:21' in HH24:MI to 10.21
'21:09' to 21.09
Thanks in Advance
Prash

Since you just want to replace the colon with a period in a string, just use the string replace function:
select replace('10:21',':','.') from dual;However if you convert this to a number, then as Boneist said it's not really comparable to the time portion of a date as 21 minutes is not 21/100 of an hour but is rather .35 hours (21/60). You won't be able to use this decimalized format as a meaningful number, nor will you be able to do any sort of date based arithmatic on it.
You may be better off converting your string to date, then into a number via some date math:
with sample_data as (select to_date('11:21','HH24:MI') dt from dual)
select dt, (dt - trunc(dt))*24 from sample_data;Edited by: Sentinel on Nov 10, 2008 9:40 AM

Property to set hex/binary/decimal format at run time?

Hi, I'd like to allow my user to choose between hex/binary/decimal formats in his number input. I'm happy to do the radio button stuff and the code to "hear" what he wants, but I can't find a property of my variable which selects the format at run-time - there is of course the "Format & Precision..." which I can get at by right mouse click BEFORE running, so I know it's likely to be available at run-time. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Richard.

It's not necessary to use property node because you can use the builtin
property of the indicator.
Click the rigth mouse button over the indicator and select show radix.
On the left side of the indicator appear radix that you can push to choose
between hex, binary, octal and decimal.
Bye

Use of comma decimal format in % Breakdowns

Hello,
We have global users who would like to enter their decimal values for % Formulation and/or Ranges on the %Breakdowns in the comma decimal format (i.e. 9,99). This does not seem possible regardless of free text language. I just wanted to confirm that this was the case.
Thanks,
Drew

Dear Kai,
Thank you for your reply.
I read the note and found that if I change my browser language to EN,
everything works fine.
However, if I change back my browser language to Chinese,
the decimal seperator becomes comma.
In the note 1064448, it said it's related to country settings.
And the note gave a XML code to set the language to EN.
But...if I put this code to my WAD XHTML,
does that mean my chart's related settings, like axis label,
would also change to English format?
(Because when I change my browser language to EN, the chart's axis label and some other description also change to EN.)
Is there any way that I can set the log on language Chinese should use decimal seperator "." instead of ","?
