Field type not showing correctly

Hi everyone, I am using a spreadsheet to report on but for some reason the columns are showing in CR as String(255) instead of Number. I have double checked the spreadsheet format and they seem to be in the number format. Any ideas what's happening here?

Carl,
I'm sure it shows that I really don't know what I'm doing, but I tried hard to figure out where to put the formula you suggested, but to no avail. I did find out through trial and error that the data in the Excel spreadsheet cells does determine the data type of the Crystal reports field. What I finally wound up doing is re-creating my spreadsheet with nothing in the top cells. It seems like Crystal Reports stops at the first data type it comes to and makes that the data type for the report. Although it isn't consistent. I then inserted my titles as objects rather than text into the spreadsheet. That seemed to work. If I understood programming better, I'm pretty sure I could have found an easier way to do it, but that's my workaround.
Thanks for the help!
Jim

SharePont 2013 Document Library lookup Column Properties not Showing Correctly when editing in Word

Hi
I keep seeing this issue albeit intermittently. I have set up a doc library for my users which has a custom content type (lookup, metadata columns, etc) . They all appear perfectly most of the time except the lookup column. Sometimes is just
decides to display the title field of the current library and not the lookup list title . It is weird as it has been working perfectly for ages given the library is populated with valid documents.
There are some fixes listed here. Has anyone got any experience of this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the lookup column not display well while editing in word.
Did you customize the Document Information Panel?
I recommend you edit your custom document information panel or create a new document information panel, then re-publish it to check whether it works.
https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Create-or-edit-a-custom-Document-Information-Panel-for-a-content-type-b701a9af-3ea6-4c1a-9e1c-75363bd987c9?ui=en-US&rs=en-GB&ad=GB
Or you can also use the methods in the post you have pasted to check whether it works.
As the limitation of the environment, we could not reproduce the issue in our environment.
I would suggest you open a case to Microsoft Customer Service via Phone.

Field descriptions not showing in page layout

I have custom content types with custom fields. The field types vary - text, image, user and so forth. I am building an intranet so this is a publishing site with workflow and I am using custom page layouts with a custom master page.
The issue I have is that the field controls, whilst all having descriptions, rarely show the description in the custom page layout. They are all shown correctly in EditForm.aspx so I know that they are there. However when editing a page using a custom page
layout it seems that only UserField types show the description. Below is an extract from a page layout:
<SharePointWebControls:UserField FieldName="ContentOwner" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:UserField>
<SharePointWebControls:TextField FieldName="ContentOwnerRemark" runat="server"></SharePointWebControls:TextField>
The first field ContentOwner shows the field description. The second does not. I have tried deleting and re-adding, making fields mandatory and optional, but to no avail. If it's not a UserField it doesn't show the description.

Showing names of Site Columns on a Page Layout
Thanks. That allows me to do this:
<SharePointWebControls:FieldProperty FieldName="ContentOwnerRemark" PropertyName="Description" runat="server" />
However the original question is why is it that the OOTB control only displays the description for UserField and not for other types of field in a custom page layout, whereas it shows all descriptions in EditForm.aspx. I could do what you have suggested but
it's a lot of work as I have many fields and custom page layouts, and it seems to me that having the OOTB field control on the page should display the description for all field types not just user field types.

Account Balance not showing correctly

Sir,
Suppose , i have posted an invoice of Rs.200 against a customer and after some times i recieved payment from this customer of Rs.200 So, accout balance of this customer should be zero.. But when i see the account balance from business partner master data , it should me Rs.-400 in accout balance field but when i navigate through orange arrow in to accoutn balance details , there i get zero in balance due field?? ie. it is showing coorectly in details of account ballance but in the business partner master data it is not showing correctly??

hi divya,
Check SAP Note 904002 - Customer account balance is displayed with negative sign
Summary
Symptom
Customer Balance is displayed with minus.
Other terms
Customer balance, Supplier Balance, Credit Balance, Debit Balance, Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign, Company Details, System Initialisation, business partner, accounts, SAP Business One
Reason and Prerequisites
Customer balance is displayed in negative though you expect it to be positive.
Solution
Under Administration->System Initialisation->Company Details and the 'Basic Initialisation' tab you will find the setting 'Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign'. This setting decides how Customer and Supplier balances will be displayed.
NOTE!
When creating a company it is important to know that this setting is irreversible once transactions have been made in the company.
When this box IS checked the following applies:
Customer balances will be displayed as Positive.
Supplier balances will be displayed as Negative.
When this box IS NOT checked the following applies:
Customer balances will be displayed as Negative.
Supplier balances will be displayed as Positive.
This setting also influences the entry of opening balances for the G/L accounts. Depending on this setting, the opening balances must be entered as positive or negative numbers.
By default this box is checked when a new company is created.

I've had this problem. There may be a more elegant solution, but what I do is make a playlist of the album and put the movements in the correct order in the playlist. I've also put numbers (01, 02, etc.) in front of the name of the movements. Either one works.
Hope this helps.

The web site of Adobe does not show correctly in FireFox

I have a bizarre problem. The site of Adobe (including where I can download the flash player) does not show correctly in FireFox and I only see it as a text HTML page, but without most images (typically, for instance, I do not see the image "Download now" but see a text line "Dowload now", and so on...
This seems to specifically affect the Adobe web site as I have no problme for other web sites (so far).
It is something specific to FireFox as I do have the problem with Internet Explorer.
The problem persis even if I restart FireFox without any add-on (safe mode).
Any suggestion ?

Does this only happen in Firefox? What do you see with Internet Explorer or Chrome? If it is only Firefox, I'd try these steps in this order:
1. Clear your cookies and cache
2. Reset your Firefox settings
3. Make a new profile

Characters codes are not showing correctly in my wesbite. I use other browser it works but her ein mozilla its not. Please help

This is my site http://globaledsource.com/ then the characters is not showing correctly. This is what happen in my site http://globaledsource.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/MAS_ThemeProbleme-1024x1024.jpg

Hi paulique, the simplest next test would be to disable all plugins and extensions (except Shockwave Flash, which is pretty much indispensable) here, restart Firefox, and see whether your font works without them:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Spot colors not showing correctly in acrobat 11

Spot colors not showing correctly in the output preview as well as the page correctly. I have a spot pms
295 on a page in a few different areas of text and backgrounds. The spot color shows on 1 of my backgrounds
and text and a spot color on another background does not. These items are on the same page. Although I
can use the eyedropper to check the color of these items and it states the spot color is present. The page
also prints correctly. Previews not happening.

I included 3 screen shots from Acobat 11 of the test requested. Also, included the last screen shot from Acobat 9 of same file.
Which shows correct preview. To eliminate possible ICC profile issue. I did change profiles to all that were in the profile list
with no change in either test.

Fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

fonts not showing correctly only when on my account page on app store

Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
