Field valdition: No negative numbers
Hi,
Sorry to bother you guys again but I've got just a small question. Does anyone know how to make a field valdition for only positive numbers in a currency field?
Hope you can help...
Thanks in advance!

In the Field Validation field just put: >0
This should work.

Entering negative numbers into a field
How do I allow an item (non-base table) to accept negative numbers that are entered in the following way, "x-". I know that you can have a format mask with "x-". But that will not help me in this situation. Thanks in advance for your help!
I dont kno what is your exact requirement. But if you are trying to accept a -ve number you can just enter -30 in a number field. but if you want 30- to be entered in a field then you can not do it directly. The workarround may be create a character field let the user enter the 30-. Possibility is that he may enter alphabetic or alpha numeric ,in this case take the substring of the field and check if it is a number field or not. if its not then do raise a message and raise form_trigger_failure to force the user to enter a valid number.
like
If NOT isnum(substr(:field1,1,length(:field1)-1) Then
message ('Please enter a valid number');
Raise Form_Trigger_failure;
End If;
Hope this will help. -
Negative Numbers considered as VARCHAR while uploading CSV file under Data Load in APEX
I am trying to upload a CSV file which contains negative numbers. These negative numbers are being considered as VARCHAR2 while uploading. And if I change the Column Type to Numbers the upload fails.
Any solutions the problem will highly be appreciated.select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS'
shows you which characters your database believes represent the decimal place and the thousands separator. So, if your database expects 1,234.123 and you present a 'number' as 1 234,123 it will complain.
Also, in your case... your comma-separated-values contain commas? Or are the individual fields enclosed with quotes? -
Making a Field Value Always Negative in Acrobat
Hi,
I am trying to create a field in Acrobat that will always be read by the calculation tool as a negative number. For example, I have a filled-in form with the following (where the blank lines are the form fields):
Base Salary $_____________
Pre-tax deductions <_____________>
401(k) deferrals <_____________>
Incentive bonus _____________
Total $_____________
I have set the total field as a calculation of the sum of the first four fields, but I need the two fields with the chevrons ( < > ) around them to be negative numbers, without the user having to enter the value with a negative symbol ( - ). Is there a way to assign the value entered into those 2 fields as negative so that Acrobat will subtract them from the other two values when it caculates?
Thanks.I am unclear on what exactly you are saying. Can you give me a little more detail.
What should I put in the "Custom calculation script" to make the calculation work correctly?
And how will I know if my field names meet the requirements for the "Simplified field calculation" method? I don't know what those requirements are. If I use this method, what coding do I need to put in the "Simplied field calculation" box?
I don't know any JavScripting so that's why I was using the "Value is the _______ of the following fields" option. How would creating a hidden field to compute the negative value of the fields help if I can't make a field negative? All I was wanting to do was see if there's a way to set any value entered into that field as a negative value. Is there not a way to make anything entered into that field negative? Do I just need to tell the user to enter a negative symbol ( - ) before the number so it will calculate correctly?
Thanks. -
Displaying negative numbers in brackets in Excel output
Hello all.
I have an RTF template...I tired displaying negative numbers in brackets like : (123.80) in Excel output
But, this is working in PDF and not in Excel.
Please let me know the way to dsiplay the numbers in brackets.varma wrote:
Negative numbers in bracket
add a conditional statement like below.
<?if: NUMBER_TO_CHECK < 0?> <?concat('(',NUMBER_TO_CHECK,')')?><?end if?>
<?if: NUMBER_TO_CHECK > 0?> <?NUMBER_TO_CHECK?><?end if?>
are you using the same template for PDF and EXCEL ?
if so, it has to be handled little differently.
Place this line in the beginning of the rtf
<?param@begin:_xf;''?>
add this condition on number column for Excel output
<?if:$_xf='excel' and NUMBER_TO_CHECK < 0?> <?concat('(',NUMBER_TO_CHECK,')')?><?end if?>
Try the above one it should work.
Have a Nice dayThis didnt work.
Say that I have element named 'market'
I placed this condiion <?param@begin:_xf;''?> at the beginningof RTF
Replaced the number field with this condition: <?if:$_xf='excel' and market< 0?> <?concat('(',market,')')?><?end if?>
This is giving me a blank output in place of the number.

I have a table of calculated values in Numbers, and I want to disallow negative numbers in the entire table. Any numbers that would be negative I would like changed to/displayed as zeroes, that way future calculations that may be based on this cell use the value of 0 for the calculation rather than the negative value. I have seen ways of doing this to single cells at a time, but I am interested in applying it to a large selection of cells.
There is the Conditional Format option when you bring up the inspector, but I cannot get a custom rule to work for me. I select "Greater than or equal to" and I enter 0 in the box, but nothing changes. Can anyone help with this?
ThanksA step toward simplifying the application of MAX to the issue, Jerry.
This part, though:
Now apply your long, animal-modeling, expressions to this new, interposing, table rather than the original.
may still leave several references to be change from the original data table to the new one.
One way to get around that is to use the Duplicate ("DATA-1) as the new table for raw data, and the Original (DATA) as the interposing table, using the formula =MAX(DATA-1::A2) as above, starting in DATA::A2.
This way, the long expressions could continue to reference the original table (with its content now modified).
ALTERNATE process:
Find/Replace could also be used to speed the process of reassigning the modeling expressions to the duplicate table, as suggested by Jerry. But some cautions apply here.
Find/Replace can be limited to Formulas only, but not to Some formulas only.
Find/Replace can be limited to the Current Sheet only, but this can't be combined with Formulas only.
More on this later, when I've had a chance to check some possibilities.

Can I cause checking a box to add 1 to a calculated form field? I have a field that sums the numbers entered in several previous fields and need to be able to add "1" if a checkbox is selected as well.
I think it has something to do with the way the value of the check box is exported, but I'm not sure. With nothing being exported to Data5, Data6 displays the sum of Data1-4 rounded down to the nearest whole number and updates automatically as Data1-4 are updated.
Right now, assuming Data1-4 are 0, where data 5 is the output of the second example and any box is checked, "1" is displayed in data5 but nothing is added to data 6. Selecting any other check box or deselecting that check box will cause data6 to add 1 even if data5 displays "0". By way of example:
Selecting Check box 16 results in Data5 displays 1 and Data6 displays zero.
Then, if any or all of Checkbox17-20 are selected, Data5 displays 1 and Data6 displays 1.
Then, if any or all of Checkbox17-20 are deselected, Data5 Displays 1 and Data6 displays1.
Then, if Checkbox16 is deselected, Data5 displays 0 and Data6 displays 1. -
Negative numbers in export to excel
Hi,
We have two servers, one (X) without SP1 and the other (Y) with SP1.
When I make export to excel in X, the negative numbers sometimes saved as @ or the actual negative number (e.g. -42), in both cases it is saved as text.
The positive numbers are saved as numbers.
We saw that SAP fixed it in SP1, we tried it on Y, we got that the negative numbers always show (e.g. -42), but all the numbers, positive and negative are saved as text.
We need to see all the actual numbers(without @), and to be saved as numbers (so we can make calculations on them).
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.I am on SP1 and noticed that sometimes they are saved as numbers and some are texts:
So I am not sure of any logic or what is going on.
Maybe as a work around you could format everything to numbers so you can do the calculation? -
Negative Numbers importing wrong
I have a Stored Procedure on my SQL Server 6.5 DB that returns a list of decimal values (sql datatype is decimal(5,2)), of which most are Negative numbers. When the procedure is run in a SQL tool (MS Query or ISQL) the values are returned correctly. When the stored procedure is called in Java, all values (negative or positive) are showing up as zero.
I have tried all of the following ...
double d = rs.getDouble(1);
Float f = rs.getFloat(1);
Double d2 = new Double(rs.getDouble(1));
BigDecimal b = rs.getBigDecimal(1);
String s = rs.getString(1);The value returned by the procedure should look something like -14.75 but when using System.out.println(f.toString()); it is shown as ".00". I have even tried exporting the data out of Java into MS Excel to see if it is just something funny with the System.out.println() statement but it shows all zeros in Excel also.
Is there anything special or a specific data type that must be used for negative numbers to read correctly in Java? I've searched the forum, tutorials and API (1.3) and haven't found anything like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!So why do you say the error has something to do with negative numbers when (in your own words): "all values (negative or positive) are showing up as zero"? I don't know what your problem is, but negative numbers probably ain't it.

Negative numbers in Parentheses() in Interactive Reports in Apex 4.1
Hi,
I want to display the negative numbers in parentheses() in all the interactive reports in my application eg: (367,432,203.07).
I tried using the PR format "999G999G999G999G990D00PR" in my number/date format option in 'Column Definition'. But it gives the negative number '-367432203.06895' like this '<367,432,203.07>', which is not my exact requirement.
Is there any other number format/option to get negative numbers in parentheses in my reports.
Can anyone please help me on this?divya wrote:

Is there any other number format/option to get negative numbers in parentheses in my reports.No. In 4.1 the only way to do this that preserves IR sort/aggregation/calculation functionality is to manipulate the values using a Dynamic Action/JavaScript after the page is rendered. This is not really satisfactory.
In 4.2 I think it might be possible using a lot of extra columns, HTML Expressions, and CSS. -
Flex 2 Stacked Bars with Negative Numbers?
Hi guys, the strangest thing: I have a client requesting
sacked bars for bar charts/column charts however, I can't seem to
get the negative numbers to go below a positive x-axis.
Do these bug logs suggest I need Flex 3?
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-921
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1181
and if that's the case, how will upgrading effect my current
project?
Thank you.Great, as in another thread defined and discused, i am
a scripter, not a programmer, but i like oaying with math.
Daves method is easy, but what about Random( -300,1200).
that must be a huge array to initialize.
my function has a restriction:
it works only, if there is a zero in the range or you'll
never get the highest number of the range. Also it can only have a
linear range.
Dave can input a list like this gRandomChoises = [
1,3,5,7,11,13,17] , what can be very usefull in some cases.
Cheers,

Uni project methods & negative numbers arrghhh
Hi there i have written a program for uni it creates a random number & gives the user 3 guesses at getting the number before giving them a message saying they have lost and revealing the actual number. So far so good . I managed to get this working but the next part of the project requires me to use a method which gives the user a message giving them a hint. The hint tells them whether they are hot, warm, cold etc.
I have tried to implement this in my program using this code but its not working im getting 3 messages like
ERROR: 'class' or 'interface expected
Also i think my use of negative numbers is wrong i can remember someone telling me you have to change the negative number into a positive before u can manipulate it or something like that.
Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone able to help?
You might want to post questions like this over on the Numbers community since it's more likely you'll find expertise there.
However, this one I can help with. If not already showing, you need to turn on the Inspector in Numbers. You do that by clicking on the Inspector icon in the upper right, showing the inspector box highlighted in red below:
Now select the cell(s) you want to format and click on the fourth tab (the one with the "42" in a box). If want no currency sign, select number as your format, while if you want a currency symbol select currency as the format.
Next to the "Decimals" option is the box in which you can select your "negative" format--you have four options for showing negative numbers, two of which will place negative numbers in parenthesis.
Note that the inspector box controls a number of options and settings in Numbers.
If you used to working with Excel you have to understand that Numbers works entirely differently and will have more than a bit of a learning curve.
Generally I find Numbers is the weakest of the iWork offerings. It is a useful program if you need a heaviliy formatted presentation of pure spreadsheet data, though if you want formatted spreadsheets in a mainly text report the Word/Excel combination works better.
The program also falls short in a number of areas vs. Excel if your spreadsheet needs go beyond the basic. It certainly isn't the most efficent at dealing with a large spreadsheet (and, in fact, the fact the default templates all have only a few rows is a good hint that this might not be the product for that megasheet :-) ).
But if you just have basic spreadsheet needs it certainly can do the job.
