Decimal

Hi abapers ,
My requirement is , ALV report contains field of quan datatype , and its value is suppose 5,000 which displayed in ALV report , while downloading the data of ALV report in excel sheet ,it displays value as
5,000 . i want to display this value with ' .' (decimal) instead of ' ,'(comma).
for this requirement i have converted quantity data type field to char field ,now 5,000 value displayed as 5
in excelsheet , i want 5.000 value in excelsheet.
If u have some idea pls let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
There are 2 things that you need to note.
1. comma instead of decimals : This is some thing you need to check the User setting.
       a. Check T-code SU01D
       b. enter your Login ID
       c. check the Default Tab
    according to the user setting the value will be populated into the excel file.
2. If you want to display say for example '2.000' instead of '2' then move the actual value to a character variable and use replace all occurence of ',' to '.' and also populate the new value to the final output table.
Reward if helpful.

Grouping and Decimal characters in rtf templates.

Hi guys and girls,
I’m really struggling with a problem here regarding the decimal characters for the prices in my output.
I'm using XML Publisher 5.6.3.
My goal is to control the grouping and decimal character from my template.
The numbers in the XML data file can either be 10.000,00 or 10,000.00. The format is handled by the users nls_numeric_characters profile option.
The output of the template shall be based on the locale and not the data generated by Oracle Reports. For example: Reports to US customers shall show the numbers in the following format 10,000.00. Reports to our European customers shall show the numbers in this format 10.000,00.
How can I achieve this in my templates? Can it be achieved at all?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
The problem is that the report is generating the output based on the users profile option nls_numeric_characters.
I have tried to override the users profile option in the before report trigger without any luck. I can alter selects so the query gets the numbers in the right format but then I would have to go through all queryes and reports which seem a bit wrong? Especially for the standard Oracle reports.

Error in running a function to convert coordinates in degrees to decimal for EXCEL VBA

For your information, I have 3 cross-posts regarding this question - and all I can said there is still no firm solution regarding this error.

and the story of the error is as below:
Currently I am working on VBA excel to create a widget to verify coordinates whether it lies under the radius of ANOTHER predefined and pre-specified sets of coordinates.
In the module, I want to convert the coordinates from degrees to decimal before doing the calculation - as the formula of the calculation only allow the decimal form of coordinates.
However, each and every time I want to run the macros this error (Run-time error '5', invalid procedure call or argument) will appear. Then, the debug button will bring me to below line of coding:
degrees = Val(Left(Degree_Deg, InStr(1, Degree_Deg, "°") - 1))

Thank you.
Your kind assistance and attention in this matter are highly appreciated.

You didn't give an example of your input string but try the following
Sub test()
Dim s As String
s = "180° 30' 30.5""""" ' double quote for seconds
Debug.Print Deg2Dec(s) ' 180.508472222222
End Sub
Function Deg2Dec(sAngle As String) As Double
Dim mid1 As Long
Dim mid2 As Long
Dim degrees As Long
Dim minutes As Long
Dim seconds As Double ' or Long if only integer seconds
sAngle = Replace(sAngle, " ", "")
mid1 = InStr(sAngle, "°")
mid2 = InStr(sAngle, "'")
degrees = CLng(Left$(sAngle, mid1 - 1))
minutes = CLng(Mid$(sAngle, mid1 + 1, mid2 - mid1 - 1))
seconds = Val(Mid$(sAngle, mid2 + 1, 10)) ' change 10 to 2 if only integer seconds
Deg2Dec = degrees + minutes / 60 + seconds / 3600
End Function
As written the function assumes values for each of deg/min/sec are included with unit indicators as given. Adapt for your needs.
In passing, for any work with trig functions you will probably need to convert the degrees to radians.

Using a variable to set decimal place in SAPScript

Hi Freinds,
is it possible to use variable as decimal indicator anf if yes please how.
&symbol(E.2)& = two decimal
my intension:
&symbol(E.2)& = to replace 2 with variable e. g. &QAMV-STELLEN&
Thanks,
Blacky

Hi Uma,
For Example
If the output of &EDIDC-DOCNUM& = 50000.231
Then:
&EDIDC-DOCNUM(.2)& = 50000.23
Now my intension:
&EDIDC-DOCNUM(.<variable>)& where <variable> = 2
&EDIDC-DOCNUM(.<variable>)& = 50000.23

Error while updating decimal places in general settings

Can a .pdf created with Livecycle allow a user to enter a % symbol in a numeric or decimal field?

What I've found so far is that the only way to get the % symbol into a numeric/decimal field at all is to set the "display pattern" to display the % symbol after numbers have been entered into the field.
The reason I want the field to be numeric and not text is because I have to run a FormCalc caculation that populates a third field.
(NumericField1 * Numeric Field2*) + NumericField1

Thanks for the reply Niall.
I ended up chanigng the numeric field to a decimal field instead, and added the following display pattern: num{zzzz9.99'%'}
So although the user can't enter a % symbol into the field, a % symbol automaticaly populates when the user enters a number.
My criteria involved ensuring that a user could not enter a number with more than two numbers after the decimal, so I also set a trailing digits max of 2 (in the Obect > Field settings)
This is the FormCalc formula I used in the "calculate" event to calculate the salary increase amount request: (DecimalField1 * NumericField2) *.01 + NumericField2
This formula is meant to calculate the salary amount a manager is requesting their employee's salary be increased to.

Decimal places in report painter

Hi experts. I have a financial report written in report painter. I want to show two decimal places on a single row. The rest of the report is in whole dollars, but this one row is a percentage, so I want to show decimal places. I know that you can format an entire column, but I can't figure out how to format a single row. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Janet

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

dear all
    i want to see the proportion of some data, for example, the income of May is 300, and the total income is 1000, i need to display it like 33.33% . so i set the
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...

Item Cost decimal point precision not correct

Hello,
I tried finding a thread in here that would answer my question, but I haven't found one yet.
What I'm noticing on certain Item Master records is that the Item Cost isn't being calculated using the correct amount of decimal places. I've set it to display 4 decimal places in the System Initialization area for Prices, Amounts, and Rates but that just tacks on more zeroes. I also haven't set any of the currency settings to anything other than "Default". Here is an example of what is happening and hopefully it will be clearer what is going on.
I have an item that we have purchased for 0.22 dollars and a Customs Group precentage set to 10%. This should result in an Item Cost of 0.2420 dollars. It is actually truncating the result to two decimal places and storing it as 0.2400 dollars. I need it to calculate correctly to four decimal places. We're using Moving Average for the Item Cost calculation and in this case all individual Item Costs are the same from PO to PO for the same part (so the Moving Average shouldn't figure in at all) although that might not always be the case.
This is only happening on certain items and I'm not sure what the difference is between the incorrect and correct ones. If someone has any idea why this is happening this way only for some parts, please let me know. Any information would be much appreciated. By the way, I'm using SBO2005A SP01 PL31.
Thanks in advance,
Brent

Thank you everyone who has replied.
Gordon, I don't really have a good way to find out how many are affected. This could be a very big issue or a small one. I'll look into finding a pattern probably on Monday and see if there's something down that road.
Jesper, this was something that came up in my mind before posting originally, but for all I've seen, it seems like everything should be calculating to 4 decimal places. As for the 6 settings, I have Amounts set to 2 (although I've tried 4 and it didn't seem to fix the problem so I reset it back to 2), Prices and Rates as 4, Quantities as 0, Percent and Units as 3. I think these are fine as is. I could be wrong though. The other reason I don't think these are a problem is because only certain items are having problems. Hence why I need to find some sort of pattern.
Bishal, I am not a Channel Partner, just a Customer. So it won't let me login to get to that. If you have another way of getting that to me, then that would be great. If not, thank you for trying.
I probably won't be doing anything with this until Monday. So there won't be a whole lot of updates until then at least. Thank you all for your responses and hopefully soon I can figure this out.

Problems with decimal places and formatting

Hi , we are having problems with an add on running on different localization companies. Decimal places separatd by "," differ from other localizations. We dont know if this is a SQL collation setting or somethng related to code or requirements to run add ons on different servers and languages.
Any ideas??

Decimal Point in Analyzer 6.2.1

Hi all,Is it possible to set on server Analyzer 6.2.1 the decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol for the format of numbers ?When it has to be done the export to Excel, the number format are taken from Analyzer server. If the Regional Options from the client part for decimal symbol and digit grouping symbol are different from Analyzer server, the export in Excel it does not work properly. Is possible to set the export to Excel to take the number settings from the client part ?

As far as I know this shouldn't be the case. The Java applet should take local client settings period and not be affected by how the server is set. You should ensure that you have the 'international' version of the Sun Java Plugin installed and not the UK/US version. Hope this helps.Paul Armitage.Analitica Ltd.www.analitica.co.uk

Decimal Separator in SELECT Clause

Hi
I have the following decimal format parameters:
SQL> select value
2 from v$nls_parameters
3 where parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
VALUE
If I show a number with decimal I get a comma as the decimal separator
SQL> select 10/100 from dual;
10/100
,1
But if I use a decimal separator in the SELECT clause I get:
SQL> select 100 * 1,1 from dual;
100*1 1
100 1
It doesn't work. But using a period as the decimal separator works:
SQL> select 1.1 * 100 from dual;
1.1*100
110
Maybe this is something I've never had to deal with before but I thought that the numeric format applied to the sql results and also the numbers that you used in the sql clauses.
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Hi,Néstor,
user594312 wrote:
... I thought that the numeric format applied to the sql results and also the numbers that you used in the sql clauses.No; it applies to results, and it can affect implicit conversions, but it doesn't apply to SQL code.
The period (or dot, '.') is always the decimal separator in numeric literals. There is no way to change that.
Think how confusing it would be if it did apply to SQL code! For example:
WHERE   num_col IN (1,2)Are we comparing num_col to 1 value or 2 values? Whichever it is, what if we wanted to do the opposite?
If you really wanted to use comma as the decimal separator, you could have to use strings, not numbers, and that could be a lot less efficient.
For example:
SELECT 100 * TO_NUMBER ('1,1')    -- This assumes your NLS settings are correct
FROM    dual;Of course, efficiency won't be an issue when you're selecting 1 row from dual.

Your requirement is to get two decimal digits for all the numbers right?
This should be possible if you goto the field which you want to have two decimal digits .Right click and goto BIP properties. Here in the properties tab you should see the option to format .Select type as number and choose the necessary format.

Decimal Places in Item Cost must be 6 characters while in Journal Entry 2.

I have the following problem:
Accounting needs to see and work with 2 decimal places, but the item cost is needed in 6 decimals.
If I register a A/P Invoice and i go to the Journal Remark, the Journal Entry should be in 2 decimals. If i look for the Item Cost on the Wharehouse this cost should be in 6 decimals.
Is there a way to handle Accounting in 2 units and Cost in 6 Units
Thank You very much

Hi Saul,
The request appears illogical, how can the accountant work with 2 decimal places & the item valuation is held with 6? The stock account with 2 decimals will never match the stock audit report with 6 decimals.
I'm afraid the SAP Business One core functionality does not cater for this need. There are no 'behind the scenes' journal entries. A JE is legally binding so you need to decide whether you wish to work with the most accurate calculations regarding item cost as possible (6 decimals) or accommodate the accountants & work with 2 decimals in the journals.
You might want to take the nature of the stock into consideration, if there are huge quantities at small individual prices 6 decimals might be better, if you use mainly standard cost &/or have no major cost fluctuations when using MAP/FIFO, 2 decimals might be sufficient.
All the best,
Kerstin

Decimal characters

Hi,
We have many varchar2 columns in the database which can contain, for example '24.00' (here "." is the decimal separator), but when i run the following query on my machine i got that error
SQL> select to_number('24.99') from dual;
select to_number('24.99') from dual
ORA-01722: invalid number
SQL> However, for example on other machines, it executes successfully. If i run select to_number('24*,*99') from dual , it executes successfully.
I know this can be avoided by using a mask in to_number, but i don't want this.
I tried to set the "." as the decimal separator from Control Panel -> Regional and language settings, but with no effect.
The db version is Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.2).
