Format as a percent

I've created a number field and I want it to display a percentage. Like .75 would change to 75% after the user tabbed out. Any help would be great! Thank you! I have Lifecycle Designer 8.

Hi Josh,
On the Field tab of your NumericField set the Display Pattern to z9% then when the user enters .10 the NumericField will display 10%.
Happy Computing!

Only One Label is Formatting as Percent in a Pie Chart - Help

I'm having trouble with a pie chart. I have only two values in the chart and have added labels. When I preview the report both labels display correctly. However, when I right-click the labels in design view and select the #PERCENT option
from the Series Label Properties and the preview the chart, only one label is actually formatted as a percent.
I don't get it?
I've followed the steps in other forum questions to get around this but nothing works. I am in a hurry and really need this to work properly, can someone spell this out for me?
This is what I see in preview currently:

Hi Avenue,

Formating in a CrossTab - dollars vs percent

I have a cross-tab in which I have added two additional calculated columns to show the difference between the two previous columns.
One column shows the difference in dollars (since the previous columns are in dollars).
The second column shows the difference as a percent. My calculation works great for the Percent column, however the column is formatted as currency. This makes sense of course, since the data used for the calculation are also in dollars.
However, if I change the format of the percent column to be a percent, all of the other columns in my cross-tab also change to a percent. It seems that it is either an all or nothing situation.
I notice that when I select a field in the u201C% Changedu201D column, all of the values in the Cross-tab are selected. Is there a way to select only the column that I want to work with?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

Problem: Cross Tab formatting different columns with dollars and percents within the same row
We would like to set certain columns to dollar values and certain columns to percent values in Cross tabs but you click on one row and it changes that value format for the whole row. We can only change either all dollars or all percents. What we would like is to be able to specify which columns are dollars and which ones are percents.
Solution: Create a formula in the Format Field to pick a $ or % based on the current column.
1) Right click on any data value and choose Format Field
2) Click on the Number tab and click on the Customizeu2026 button
3) Click on Currency Symbol tab, check Enable Currency Symbol, choose Floating
4) Click the x-2 button for Position
Type in titles of the columns you want to have dollars values and let the rest go to percent
select GridRowColumnValue(<db field>)
case "<column title>", "<column title>", "<column title>" : crLeadingCurrencyOutsideNegative
default: crTrailingCurrencyOutsideNegative
(for example)
select GridRowColumnValue("merchant_transaction_detail_rpt.trans_date")
case "Current", "Previous", "Yr Ago" : crLeadingCurrencyOutsideNegative
default: crTrailingCurrencyOutsideNegative
5) Click the x-2 button for Currency Symbol
Type in titles of the columns you want to have dollars values and let the rest go to percent
select GridRowColumnValue(<db field>)
case "<column title>", "<column title>", "<column title>" : "$"
default: "%"
(for example)
select GridRowColumnValue("merchant_transaction_detail_rpt.trans_date")
case "Current", "Previous", "Yr Ago" : "$"
default: "%"
Hope this helps. This is copied and pasted from a word doc I created with screen shots that I can email to you if you think it will help.

DiskPart Format : Parameter is incorrect

I am trying to format a virtual disk & I get an error. I have selected the partition to operate on & ran the format command in a variety of ways [recommended, ntfs, fat, also combined with quick].
I can't for the life of me figure out whats wrong. Is it that DiskParted is bugged here? or am I missing something?
This issue happens in Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 Beta. Never tried 7, but I assume the same would occur
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
Disk 0 Online 167 GB 1024 KB
Disk 1 No Media 0 B 0 B

DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.
See the System Event Log for more information.

Hi RandomClown,
Format command could be used directly from the CMD Window, no need to under the Diskpart Session.
You may try to format in this way:
format <Volume> [/fs:{FAT|FAT32|NTFS}] [/v:<Label>] [/q] [/a:<UnitSize>] [/c] [/x] [/p:<Passes>]
More information, please check:
Format
To use the Diskpart command, we need first select(not the list command, use the select command) the disk that we want to format, for example,
To use the command line to bring a disk online, create a partition, and format it, you may try the following commands:
C:\> Diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk (id)
DISKPART> online disk (if the disk is not online)
DISKPART> attributes disk clear readonly
DISKPART> clean
DISKPART> convert mbr (or gpt)
DISKPART> create partition primary
DISKPART> select part 1
DISKPART> active (if this is the boot partition)
DISKPART> format fs=ntfs label=(name) quick
DISKPART> assign letter (letter)
DISKPART> list volume
More information about Diskpart command, please see:
DiskPart Commands.

Question about Percent Function

This kinda goes along with my question about the plus sign. That was answered by the fact it means there is more than can be displayed in the field with the plus sign. The problem I am having is all of the fields with the plus sign are formated to be PERCENT. These fields are filled in via the C# program. The values are calculated in the C# program and outputed to the PDF form in the form of 00.00 - 100.00. Thus if I am filling in these fields with values that are within a PERCENT range, then why are they showing a plus sign. I have even go as far as to wipe the field clean, re-do the Text box, re-format as PERCENT, with the text centered, and the No Calculation radio button set true. The only other thing I do these fields is set the FONT to 10 point or otherwise the huge in size.

Thank you all for the help on this. What I found is:
it is correct that the incoming value to a fillable field for a PERCENT must be between 0 and 1 BUT this is NOT the complete answer.
If I filled the field with 33.33 then it will display 33.33 + which says the display is too big.
If I filled the field with .3333 thin it will display .3333 without the PLUS sign, but is still not correct because the FORMAT is set to PERCENT.
What I had to do is add the following JAVA script.
// Custom Calculate script for text field
(function () {
    // Get the field values
    var v1 = getField("NO_FEAR_ASSOC_WITH_TARGETED_DISABILITY_PERCENT_1").value;
    // Set this field value
    event.value = v1;
Now if the input is .3333 the display is now 33.33% which is correct. Sense the JAVA Script is basicly a NOP, this tells me that the PERCENT format requires some kind of trigger. Sense a FILL is NOT a trigger, the display comes out incorrect.

Cfchart - how do I stop percent value from rounding

I am trying to present a simple chart with
labelformat="percent" (see below).
The problem is that the values being presented are decimal
values between 1 and 2. Although it appears to put the data markers
in the correct placed, it is rounding the label to the nearest
integer. so 1.86% becomes 2%, 1.44% becomes 1% etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can stop this
rounding?
Thanks in advance.

select the cells with the dollar amounts, then open the cell formatter and select "Currency"
Now set the number of decimal places. Note... Numbers will round to the number of digits you select so you should know that what you see in the cell may be different that what you typed into the cell.
If you set the number of digits in the cell formatter to 3, then type in a value "1.2368", Numbers will display "1.237"

Problems with AppleWorks drawing docs under Snow Leopard

Since I installed Snow Leopard, I've encountered two major problems:
(Problem 1) AppleWorks gets corrupted when dragging a picture file (.jpg or .png) from the desktop into a drawing document. Various dialogs (e.g. "Format : Document..." or "Format : Ruler : Settings ..." or "Options : Object Size ...") become uneditable. These dialogs will display blank boxes instead of the given object settings, and nothing can be entered into these boxes. AppleWorks must be shut down and restarted in order to continue work.
(Problem 2) When a formula (i.e. an equation) has been created in a MathType window, selected and copied, it takes ages to make AppleWorks the active application (spinning rainbow coloured ball appears and keeps spinning for a long while). Thereafter, it takes another century to get the formula appearing in the AppleWorks document when selecting the command "Edit : Paste".
Everything worked still fine under Leopard; under Snow Leopard it's a desaster.
p.s.
I've produced thousands of work sheets for my Maths teachings using the Drawing module of AppleWorks in combination with MathType (Design Science). Now I'm stuck since there is no decent successor of AppleWorks available:
* iWork doesn't feature a drawing module.
* EazyDraw doesn't collaborate with MathType (i.e. no OLE; inserted formulae cannot be edited by double-clicking).
* OpenOffice doesn't collaborate with MathType.
* Micro$oft Office doesn't feature a drawing module.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't use AppleWorks as much as I used to & I've never had a need to use MathType, but I just tried dragging 3 images - a .png, a .tiff & a .jpg - to a new AppleWorks draw document. I had no problems resizing them using Format > Scale by percent & I had no problems using any of the other dialog boxes you mention.
Some basic troubleshooting you might try:
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions in 10.4.x, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should do this step anytime AppleWorks crashes or you force quit it.
The slowness is likely the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.
Could you send me a copy of one of these worksheets? Perhaps I can see if I can easily duplicate one in Pages/Numbers/Keynote. Even though iWork doesn't have a draw app, all of the apps do have basic drawing capabilities.

Problem with autoformat in Numbers

When I type some numeric values in Numbers, like for instance "0.1", I get them autoformatted to time format: "00:01". It happens with decimal numbers with one or two decimal digits: "0.23" becomes "00:23", etc. If I change format from "Automatic" to "Numbers" after this auto-conversion, I get the complete date: "05/06/2012 00:23:00" instead of the original "0.23" value. So the only way to get the numeric value as I want it is to change the format BEFORE I enter the value. But this can be a problem if I have to import several TAB-formatted text files, because I have to edit all wrong cells one by one after importing. Strangely, I haven't found anybody reporting this kind of problem. Any idea what is happening and how to solve it? Thanks

"Open a blank numbers document.
Pick a cell and enter the number 12
On the inspector cell format dialog select % (percent) \\ my default was automatic setting
I see the cell contents change from 12 to 1,200% ( and it is left justified in the cell after formatting)"
I see the display of the contents change from 12 (aligned right) to 1,200% (aligned right). This is correct.
"Now change the format to date (and time)..."
The displayed value remains "1,200%" (but aligned left).
Interpretation:
When the number 12 is entered, the display and the entry box both show "12"
"Per cent," literally translated, means "per hundred;" a "percentage" is a conventional way of expressing a fraction: n% equals n in 100, or n/100.
"Twelve per cent" is not "12." It is 12/100, which can be expressed as a decimal number as 0.12.
When you change the format of the cell containing 12, you do not change the value in that cell.
12 is still 12, but now it is being displayed as 'a number divided by 100'. The number, divided by 100, that will produce the value 12 is 1200. "12" is "1200%"
So when the cell is formatted as Percentage, the display in the cell changes to "1200%". But the display in the entry box changes as well, to 1200%.
"Now change the format to date and I see, and you too I hope, will see the same number 1,200% only right justified after formatting"
I see that value, but it is aligned left, which indicates to me that Numbers is 'seeing' 1200% in the entry box as Text. The Automatic alignment for Text is left. I suspect Numbers attempts to interpret the value in the entry box as a date and time value, but fails due to the percent sign. Without the sign, 1200 can be interpreted as a Date and Time (December 25, 1199, 00:00:00); with the sign, even though the sign is applied by (a previous) formatting, it can't, and falls back to a text interpretation.
"12" can also be interpreted by Numbers as a date. Setting the format of a cell containing 12 to Date and Time produces: January 1, 2012 12:00:00 AM
If that cell is then set to "Percentage", the date remains, but alignment shifts for the default right (for numbers and Date & Time values) to left (for text). Looks like the same thing going on—the content is being read as text, the text can't be interpreted as the type of value required for the formatting to apply, so the value is treated as text, and the default alignment for text is applied.
"I (am) not sure how I can make use of entering the number twelve and change the format to percent to get 1,200%. I (would) like the outcome to be 12 percent."
If you want the outcome to be 12%, then you need to enter 0.12 (12 hundredths), or you need to enter 12%. The former will require your changing the format to Percentage; the latter will be recognized as a percent, and automatically formatted to show percentage.
If you still consider this a bug, you should Provide Numbers Feedback, and make a bug report. You'll find Provide xxx Feedback in the Application menu (in Numbers, the "Numbers" menu) of current Apple Software.
Regards,
Barry

Columns tab in User Defined Report

I've written a few user defined reports, but so far I've just filled in the SELECT command. I'm looking at the tab labeled "Columns" and trying to understand how that affects the report formatting.
Am I right in assuming that this is equivalent to the COLUMN command in SQL*Plus? So "Name" maps to the column name in the SELECT, right? "hAlign" and "vAlign" are pretty self explanatory, and valid values for these are listed in the on-line help. But what about "Format"? What are valid values for this field? Do I use the format values from SQL*Plus, like "A30" for a 30 character wide column?
Finally, is there a way to specify that a column is not to be displayed? I have a primary key that I don't want to display, but I do need to include in the SELECT, because the report has a Child query that needs to use this as a bind variable for a foreign key.


I've found part of the answer to my own question:


Formats for the "format" field in the Columns tab are the formats used in the java.text.MessageFormat class. For example, you can use:

{0,date,yyyyMMdd hh:mm:ss}
The zero means the first argument; it will always be zero because we are only formatting one column. The second part tells what kind of formats to use, date or number. There is also a "choice" format type, which is related to number - works sort of like the DECODE function. The third part is the format itself, which can be one of several default formats like "currency", "percent" and "integer" for numbers, or "short", "medium", "long" or "full" for dates. I used an explicit format.


I still don't have an answer to the second part of my question: How do I include a column in my query to be used as a bind variable in a child query, but exclude it from the report?

Running Scripts

Hi,
I'm new to adobe, and I've been reading lots on this forum to get info on writing scripts in forms. I'm creating a form that has two pages, one for internal and one for our client.
I've written a couple things, and I was wondering what you do to run the script? I know in the sampler there is a button you push. Is there anyway to just get the calculations to automate?
For example, I need to do two things; 1. simple calculations within numeric fields and 2. Allow the text from one text field on the internal form to automatically enter itself in the text field on the external form (which I am stumped on).
a sample of one calculation I've written (in javascript) is below
var f = this.getfield("ProductSubtotal");
var g = this.getfield("Other");
var i = this.getfield("PercentDiscount");
event.value = (f.value + g.value)* (i.value/100)
It is supposed to create a product total from two numeric fields and add either a markup or discount. But when i switch to pdf preview it isn't working. (I've also tried saving the form and opening it in pdf).
Thanks a lot
Tiffany

Your script is very specific to forms created in Acrobat not LiveCycle Desinger. You should be aware that a field formatted as a percent displays 10.00% for 10 percent but has a value 0f 0.0010 in calculations.
For LiveCycle Designer you should be able to use the following FormCalc script to compute the amount of the discount assuming that the field "PercentDiscount" is the discount rate:
(ProductSubtotal + Other) * (PercentDiscount / 100)
To calculate the total you would need a FormCalc script like:
ProductSubtotal + Other + ( (ProductSubtotal + Other) * (PercentDiscount / 100) )

Results of DMX query

I have this DMX query, which is written for Neural network model:
select t.*, predict ([module])
as [predictedvalue],vba!format
(predictprobability ([module]),'Percent')
as [probability] from [Neuronske mreže]
prediction join openquery ([moodle baza],
'select distinct Course from [dbo].[log] ')
as t on [Neuronske mreže].[Course]=t.Course
order by PredictProbability([Module]) desc
And I get results, but just one Module for one Course. Even if I remove "distinct", results show more same results for one course.
For example:
Course Predicted Value Probability
32 Forum 95%
But, on the course 32 there are more Predicted values, and I want to show them all, with their probability.
How could I do it?
Thank you in advance

For this DMX, course 32 will only have one output. If your original list has more than one course, then each individual course would have its own predicted value and probability.

ITunes playlist of songs without Genius information

Is it possible to generate a smart playlist that consists of tracks which do not contain Genius information???
By not containing genius information I mean that if you click the genius button it states that genius is unavailable for this song.
This would then allow me to correct the track information on these tracks to match the iTunes store and update my Genius data.

Right. It's not known, but I imagine the same.
Any thoughts on why it might not work for songs that have been properly downloaded from the iTunes store?
I have a collection of over 15k songs in my library. Most of it is from ripped CDs (ripped using iTunes in Apple Lossless format), a fair percent is from the iTunes Store, and a small percent is from Amazon.
The great majority of my ripped CDs were able to match using iTunes Match. So it seems like there should be plenty of inventory in my library to create a genius playlist from a song that I've just downloaded from the iTunes Store.
Being the source, Apple/iTunes should already know everything it needs to know about that song.

1. Use the mouse to select the field and then press the space bar.
2. A null string is the same as zero. What is the result for division by zero?

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:
