Display cell contents as text instead of evaluating as a numeric expression

If I enter a value such as 21/27 in a cell, Numbers interprets it as 21 divided by 27 and displays the result, but that's not what I want. I want 21/27 to be displayed. How can I do that?
Thanks,
Pete

1) You can format the cell as text only
2) or you can leave the formatting as "Automatic" and precede the contents of the cell with a single quote " ' "

Display of calender month text instead of values in BEx report.

Hi,
I have calender months in the reporting columns, values of these reporting columns are dynamic in reports. We need to replace these values with text of the calender months. I have seen it at some places but do not remember how to do it now.
Can some one has idea on this, will update on this post please.

Hi
if you want to display in columns along with the data then right click and select properties and the select the disply as Text .
If you want to display in the header go the properties and in the header (Title area where u provide desxcription) instead of ur description enter the text variable &0T_CMONV& or you can select the text variable from the list .

When I open FF there is no text displaying(menus, content, etc.), and most of the window is blacked out. For example... I can see the the firefox button on the top left corner, when I go to it the drop down list drops and there is no text, if I move down the drop down I hit where there is a slide out in that drop down and no text is there. So, to start in safe mode you need to go to the firefox button, and click on start in safe mode. I can't See safe mode or click on anything were safe mode should be.

hello, close all firefox windows & hold the shift-key while opening firefox in order to launch it in safemode. in the first dialog just choose "continue in safemode" and go to firefox > options > advanced > general. in there disable hardware acceleration, restart firefox normally again and see if this has changed anything.

When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
and it worked for me:
1. Quit Word
2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
3. Click on Go
4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy
5. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal
6. Paste the following bold command at the $ prompt (it's a single line):
defaults write com.microsoft.Word 14\\Toolbars\\Show_HIToolbar -boolean TRUE
7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.
In the original source the author also mentions the change in Word 2008

Af:panelLabelAndMessage display an image in label instead of text

Does anyone have a tip how to do this?
I tried several ways to achieve it but with no success. One of them was
<af:panelLabelAndMessage shortDesc="Email of person">
<f:facet name="label">
<af:image source="/images/email.png"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="[email protected]"/>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
I want to achieve that instead of the text displayed with label="Label text" an icon or image should be displayed. The formating options of af:panelLabelAndMessage should stay, meaning that the icon should right align with the labels in the other rows.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
a fabel "label" doesn't exist in panelLabelAndMessage. I need to experiment a bit with skins, but I think this is better suited as an ER I'll file for you

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through. The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card.
Try this and see if it helps: turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes. Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.

Conditional Formatting - to display text instead of Image

Hi,
We have a requirement in a BI Finance Report wherein for an amount if it is NULL or 0 it needs to show '-' symbol.
Initially we placed a image in the Conditional Format Properties similar to that symbol, but it doesnt satisfy the requirement.
There are 35 metrics in 3 BI Reports each where we need to do this change. If we write a CASE statement, that will run for 30mins which will be a bad performance issue. So can we display a text instead of an Image using Conditional Formatting or any other way.
P.S. In one of the report, we have Union joins, so we cannot write a CASE statment for each metric in every report.
Please give your inputs.
Thanks in Advance

Need to read text file content and have to display it in multiline text box

dear all,
Need to read text file content and have to display it in multiline text box.
actually im new to file handling. i have tried up to get_line and put_line.
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN ('D:\SAMPLE.txt', 'r');
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE (in_file,linebuf);
i dont know how to assign this get_line function to text item
pls help me in this regards,

Simply write:
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN ('D:\SAMPLE.txt', 'r');
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE (in_file,linebuf);
:block2.t1 := chr(10)||:block2.t1||chr(10)||linebuf;
chr(10) --> is for new line character

Display the content of a text file in a browser

I am new to servlet, I have written a java servlet code which can read a file and display its content in command prompt only(resin),i would like to ask how can i display the content on the browser and i also want to ask how to write a servlet which can display the conetent from a web browser( e.g. whatever i type in a form) and produce the result in the text file.
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class read extends HttpServlet
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
String applicationPath =
getServletContext().getRealPath ("");
String filePath =
getServletContext().getRealPath ("/WEB-INF/text.txt");
FileReader fr = new FileReader (filePath);
for (int chr = fr.read(); chr != -1; chr = fr.read())
System.out.print ((char) chr);
}

You have to create an object of PrintWriter and use that to display the output on the browser.
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(chr);
Hope this helps..

Display normal text instead of drop down menu

I have two tables. One is the customer particular, which has RaceID(int) as one of the field. The other
table is Race, which has RaceID(int) and Race(char). Both of these tables are linked together.
I have the following code generated from Ultradev when I am using Dynamic Elements Server Behavior.
I will gonna do a search page, which list the value of Race of customer in normal text for each staff,
not the drop down menu(but during insert page, I am using drop down menu to enter the data). How to
do that?
Codes:(This code will generate a drop down menu which compare the value in the customer particular and
the race tables. If selected, display that one with the drop down menu.
<select name="race">
<%
while (Race_hasData) {
%>
<option value="<%=((Race.getObject("raceID")!=null)?Race.getObject("raceID"):"")%>" <%=(((Race.getObject("raceID")).toString().equals(((((Matching_data
= Matching.getObject("raceID"))==null || Matching.wasNull())?"":Matching_data)).toString()))?"SELECTED":"")%>
<%=((Race.getObject("race")!=null)?Race.getObject("race"):"")%></option><%
Race_hasData = Race.next();
Race.close();
Race = StatementRace.executeQuery();
Race_hasData = Race.next();
Race_isEmpty = !Race_hasData;
%>
</select>

don't use <select>, use <input type = "text"> instead and you will get text box.

Does anyone have any tips on how I would go about finding something like this?If it's included within the <tt>body</tt> element in the original page source then it's produced by something in APEX and the position in the source will give a clue as to where. You should also run the page in Debug mode and look at the trace to see if there's any clues there.
If it's visible in the generated page source but not the original then it's produced by something dynamic in the page. Possibly some JS lingering from the previous theme?

Displaying a multi-line text block in an ALV grid cell

Can I display a multi-line text block (i.e. a paragraph of text) in an ALV grid cell?
If yes, what properties do I set in the Field Catalaog (I tried the style and that didnt seem to work)
Thanks

By default ALV Grid merges fields with same values vertically.
Isn't that only when the column is part of the sort key? You also have to consider the user changing the sort sequence, which can make the text jumbled up. In one of my reports I have made the cell a hotspot and displayed the text in a popup. Of course you cannot print it.
Cheers,
Ramki.

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
Sub NumChars1()
MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
End Sub
Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
Sub NumChars2()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
End With
End Sub
The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
Sub NumChars3()
With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
.Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
End With
End Sub

Embedding a text file to display its contents on a button click

I am quite a beginner in this platform. I have text file with me and I want to display its contents to the user(Read Only) on a button click event in my app.(using C#)
I wish to know how to link/ embed this text file to my app and once it is embedded, how to deploy the file reading.
P.S. i would really appreciate it if you can provide some sample code.

thx Rob..plz check this piece of code..
namespace Syllabus
    public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage
        public MainPage()
            InitializeComponent();
        private async Task Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
            try
                  System.IO.Stream src = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("Syllabus;vbu.txt", UriKind.Relative)).Stream;
                  string text;
                  using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(src))
                      text = sr.ReadToEnd();
                  TextBlock t = new TextBlock();
                  t.Text = text;
              catch
                  MessageBox.Show("File Not Found");
On running the code always chokes within the constructor itself ...what's wrong?
