Decimal places in numbers (ipad)

How to stop numbers giving me a number to 10-12 decimal places! I have a figure in column A which is taken away from column B and it leaves 8.50 ( for example) instead I get '8.9999995689995'
Incredibly frustrating! I know it's going to be something simple but I just can't find the right button!

Touch the result cell, touch the "paintbrush" icon, touch "Format", touch "Number", and change "Decimal" to 2 (use the small arrows to raise or lower the number or decimals).

  • Decimal Places in Numbering with Outlines

    I would like to have my outline follow a numbering pattern similar to the below example. ( I am using arrows to show the indents)
    5.00
    5.01
    ---->5.011
    ---->5.012
    ---->5.013
    ---->5.015
    ---->5.016
    -------->5.0161
    -------->5.0162
    ---->5.017
    ---->5.018
    5.02
    I am unable to achieve this by using numbers or tiered numbers in the list tab in the inspector. It won't let me start with a number containing a decimal.
    Can I hard code the numbers in the outline or start with decimal number a different way? Or am I stuck manually creating and formatting the outline.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Alex
    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately Pages can't do what you want. So you are stuck manually creating and formatting the outline.

  • Lists: multi-decimal place numbering?

    Can Pages do multi-decimal place list numbering, for example:
    1.22.03
    1.22.04
    1.23.01
    1.23.02

    The example you show is just what I'm trying to do. Can you explain how to enable the multi-decimal structure. When I look at the bullet and numbering options, I only get numbers in the first location.
    I get:
    1. Topic
    1. First subtopic
    2. Second subtopic
    3. Third subtopic
    2. Second Topic

  • I need to get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient and Numbers will only give me whole integers which is useless since most items will be less than 1. How can I change this?

    How do I get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient? It only gives me whole integers. Most of the results will be less than 1 so I need 2 decimal places

    the quotient function returns only whole number portion of the dividing two numbers.  If you want the actual decimal value use the divide operator.  you enter this as:
    A/B
    if the numerator is in A1 and the denominator is in B1 you can enter the formula like this:
    =A1/B1

  • Pages rounding up numbers in a .doc file to 2 decimal places

    Hello, I have a problem, with Pages (3.4) on OS 10.7.5...
    When I go to open a .Doc file, Pages seems to round up some numbers to 2 decimal places. I did find another thread which dealt with this problem inside of Tables, but I am not using tables in this document.... another problem is that the new rounded up number is not editable in Pages once the document is open. e.g.
    In word/open office I see the figure (which is in fact a series of dates - i did not write this document btw)
         12.12.24.1.13
    in Pages is only see
         .13
    and this .13 is totaly un-editable and unselectable.
    Can you help ?

    Got it!
    I tried opening it in TextEdit but the funky dates were omitted from the page. Then I opened it in LibreOffice and it looked OK. The problematic dates seemed created by a special Word function. The behaving dates were manually written.
    I selected all content of the document in LibreOffice and pasted into a Pages document and all dates came out as they should.

  • Displaying all numbers with 2 decimal places

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement in our code where we want that all numbers must be diplayed with 2 decimal places.
    Eg: If a number is 21.234 then it should be displayed as 21.23
    If a number is 21.289 then it should be displayed as 21.28
    If a number is 21 then it should be displayed as 21.00
    Can anyone please help me how to do it in a SQL query.

    Hi, Shruti,
    This shows a couple of things you can do:

    WITH     got_x     AS
         SELECT     empno / 1000     AS x
         FROM     scott.emp
    SELECT     x
    ,     TO_CHAR (x,            '999999.99')     AS tc
    ,     TO_CHAR (TRUNC (x, 2), '999999.99')     AS trnc_tc
    ,     TRUNC (x, 2)                              AS trnc
    FROM     got_x
    ;Output:

         7.934       7.93       7.93       7.93Column x is the number, as SQL*Plus displays it by default. Note there are as many digits after the decimal point as are needed.
    Column tc shows how TO_CHAR can format the number, with exactly 2 digits after the decimal point. This automatically rounds the number to the nearest multiple of .01, so on the first row (for example) 7.369 gets displayed as 7.37.

    ... If a number is 21.289 then it should be displayed as 21.28You (apparantly) always want the number rounded toward 0, so column tc isn't quite what you want.
    Column trnc_tc is exacly what you requested, with the numbr rounded toward 0 (when any rouning is necessry) and 2 digits after the decimal point.
    Column tc is also exactly what you requested, but it uses SQL*Plus formatting rather than SQL. Also, column trnc is a NUMBER, while column trnc_tc is a VARCHAR2, because TO_CHAR, as its name hints, returns a VARCHAR2.
    The SQL*Plus command
    SET   NUMFORMAT  999999.99changes the default format for all number columns. If you use this, you can override it for individual columns by using TO_CHAR (since it returns a VARCHAR2, the NUMFORMAT doesn't apply),or a COLUMN command. Also, if you use SET NUMFORMAT 999999.99, you'll still have to explicitly TRUNC every number, or else 21.289 will come out as 21.29, not 21.28.

  • Rounding numbers to 2 decimal places

    Hello programming community,
    I have the following code to round my answers to 2 decimal places:
    double roundedValue;
    DecimalFormat twoDForm = new DecimalFormat ("#.##");
    roundedValue = Double.valueOf(twoDForm.format(value));The code works great and what i expect it to do. When I pass in really big decimal numbers (2.55555668) it correctly rounds it (2.56) but when it rounds the number and the last decimal is a zero it does not display this. (if the number ends up rounding to 4.50 , i want it to display it this way but it ends up getting rid of the 0. )
    If anyone has any ideas for a way to fix this please let me know.
    Thanks.

    I have tried various ways of converting string to double (Double.parseDouble) and i tried one that involved a trim() but both methods drop the zero.You've got a basic misconception still going on here. If you convert it to a double, there is no such thing as a trailing zero -- it's meaningless since it only has meaning for a String representation of a double and not the intrinsic number itself.

  • How do I correct % complete to show whole numbers, not two decimal places

    I just installed version P6 6.2 on my laptop and restored a schedule. The percent complete is showing two decimal places for activities less than 100%. What I would like is to have whole percentages, e.i. 84%, not 83.76%. How do I correct this? I thought it would be under the user preferences, but it's not there.

    *795589,*
    What particular percent complete are you having trouble with?
    *(Found in the P6 knowledgebase) This issue is an existing Enhancement Request. It will be considered for a future release*
    Other than that, maybe try creating a global change to manually calculate your percents.

  • Can not change the number of decimal places in the normalization of result

    dear all

    Calculate single values as normalization of result, and then it display 33.333%, i like to display only two number of decimal places, so i set the number of decimal places as 0.00, but i doesn't work, it still display three decimal numbers.
        maybe you say i can use the percentage function like %CT %GT %RT, but i need to allow external access to my query, so the i can not use those functions.
        can somebody helps me ? your advice is appreciated.

    hi,thanks for your advice, but that doesn't suit for my problem.
    before i set the normalization of result, i can change the decimal values. After that i cann't.
    In your thread, someone proposes use the T-code OY04. but this wouldn't help. As i change to other key figure, such as user quantity, when i set normalization of result, it still display 3 decimal values.
    i think the point maybe lie in the normalization of result. please advise... thanks...

  • Decimal places for JPY currency in change documents

    Hi Gurus,
    For opportunities in SAP GUI the change documents for JPY show incorrect numbers.
    The number is divided by 100 (two decimal places added).
    Checked the CDPOS table and found the values already divided (two decimal places added).
    SPRO->General Settings->Currencies->Set decimal places for currencies is set for 0 decimals for JPY.
    Is there any way I can get correct values in the change documents?
    Please advice. Any hint is useful.
    Thx,
    Martin Kuma

    Hi Naren,
    Thank you for the tip, however the TCURX table is changed via customizing and should be changed only during the system initialization.
    What I would like to do, is to assure that the system displays the values in change documents correctly. It should apply the currency conversion for the data displayed the same way it does for all the tables.
    Do you have any idea, how should I do this?

  • Decimal places in Measurement tab for Land

    We lease-in Land in Acres. Typical land sizes require area to be defined in decimal units e.g 18.963 ACR or 256.755 ACR.
    However, in the measurement tab for creating Land the amount column is rounding off all decimal values to whole numbers. Like in the above example what gets entered is 18 ACR and 256 ACR respectively.
    I did not find any decimal options while defining the measurement type. Any clues how to go about resolving this issue?
    Hamdan

    Hello Hamdan,
    You need to define new custom or change the existing unit of measurements assigned in respective dimensions. In this node you specify the number of decimal places you wish to have on particular unit. for example usually ACERS have 3 to 4 decimals as the unit is too high and the rent amount can differ a lot if we omit the decimals.
    SPRO -> SAP Netweaver -> Check Units of Measurement
    On the next screen select the dimension and click on the unit of measurement. create or edit the unit and specify the rounding decimals and other attributes as needed.
    Assign this Unit of measurement to the measurement types in REFX and the Measurement types of the object types, which I am sure you know already.
    Enjoy,

  • Decimal places in unit of measure in Sales order

    Hi,
    In the Sales Order application in PCUI, when I create a create an order for customer XYZ, and add product ABC for qty 1 which uses unit of measure PC, the qty is displayed with 3 decimals as 1,000 whereas if I use the unit of measure EA the quantity is displayed without the 3 decimals as 1. I need the unit of measure PC to not have the decimal places like in SAPGUI.
    Could anyone help me understand how this can be achieved?
    Thank you for help in advance.
    Regards,
    Priya

    To elaborate better.
    Again, use Tcode CUNI - Unit of measurement : Initial Screen.
    At initial screen, choose TIME from the list (where by default AAAADL- no dimensions is there).
    And click on UNIT OF MEASUREMENT button.
    In that you will find MON - Month.
    There go for details by selecting MON or select MON and press F5 from Key board.
    For MON unit maintain following parameter as per your requirement:
    -Number of decimal places for number display
    Use - This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.
    -Base ten exponent for floating-point display
    Use - This exponent determines how the values for this measurement unit are formatted as floating point numbers.
    Examples - If the exponent is 3, the floating point numbers have the format xxx.xxxxE3.
    And deselect commercial meas. unit in application parameters section.
    I would suggest instead of changing standard settings of MON, you create ZMON in TIME dimension.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Decimal Places in RRP3 and MD04

    When we release the fcst to R3 and SNP , we release in daily buckets.  The No's in Product view and MD04 showing in decimal places. Business wanted rounded No. instead of a number with decimal. I want to fix it by changing the Unit of measure EA  to zero decimal place, in Tcode: CUNI.  Is there any better way to fix the problem, instead of changing a global setting.
    thx
    Jeff

    Hi,
           You can alternatively use another keyfigure and have a macro that round using a particular logic and enter the numbers in this KF. THen release this KF to SNP and R/3.
    Eg:
    KF1: 10.1...........9.9.........10
    your new KF after macro run with rounding logic is something like this
    KF2: 10.............19.............10
