Format column in Numbers for zip code

how do I get a leading zero for zip codes??

start by selecting the cell(s) yu want to format, then go to the Format menu and choose Create Custom Cell Format:
In the dialogue that opens:
Edit the name to reflect the use to which this format will be placed.
Leave the type as Numbers & Text
Note the example (orange circle) showing how a number will appear under the curent format.
Click the white triangle (see arrow) in the Integer tablet (red circle) to open the options menu.
Take three trips to the options menu:
Choose Hide Separator
Choose Show Zeros for Unused Digits
Choose Add Digit
Click OK to return to the document.
Note that this will work for the original five digit Zip codes. Extended five-four codes will be treated as text, as can be seen in the image above. and will not sort correctly (see column D of left table below). For correct sorting, format the column as text and enter the Zip codes including the leading zeros, as has been done in the single column on the right (before the column was sorted into the displayed order).
Regards,
Barry

Pass URL parameter for zip code

In this fake url I want to pass the zip code value of the confirmed BP into "zipcode"
https://acme.com/locator.jsp?zip=zipcode
from the other post I have read the parameter name would be "zipcode" and thru the transaction launcher I am able to assign parameter value =
//selectedClmBpLinkRelationship/BpRelLinkBusinessPartner/BuilStandardAddressRel/POSTL_COD1
The transaction launcher is opening the launcher but not passing the value into the field. The window opens but the field is not filled with the zip code.
If I open a new ie browser and put in url
https://acme.com/locator.jsp?zip=60001
the url is reached and 60001 is filling the zip code field.
Is there an easy way to debug and see if any value is getting passed?
Am I conceptually on base for what I am trying to do?

Hi Shwetha,
That got me pointed in the right direction where we could get it to work.
For others, these were some other points we used to get it to work.
1. in the IMG where the url is defined don't add the ZIP parameter here so our IMG entry = https://acme.com/locator.jsp?
when the page launched correctly the parameters showed https://acme.com/locator.jsp?&zipcode=60001
2. for zip code parameter value we used //currentCustomer/BuilStandardAddressRel/POSTL_COD1 >> this goes in the transaction launcher with parameter zipcode and is then visible in the IMG entry "copy/delete launch transactions"

Leading zeros for zip codes in Numbers

I couldn't find an answer for this question but finally figured it out so wanted to share. Here's how I got the zeros to show in my zip code column:
You can make a custom cell format from the cells palette. You have to hide the separator and add a digit using the Integers bubble. Then choose show zeros for unused digits.
Then apply this format to the entire zip code column in your doc.

I was having the same problem. You pointed me in the right direction but in 09 the prompts are slightly different.. Hilight the column. In the cell inspector, cell format, choose NUMERICAL SYSTEM and set the number of places to five.
It should now look right but before you save it, create a new column and format it as above into TEXT. Then copy the one you've fixed, and paste it into the new text column. This should save fine as cvs in any event, as well as numbers.

How to set columns for Zip Codes?

I am new to iMac and in my first week using trial version of Numbers. I work in sales and we do lots of mailings using merging of data and addresses for post cards, labels, etc.
I cannot see how to set columns to a zip code setting. All zips entered beginning with a 0 drop the front 0. I tried calling the column as Text, but it did not help. I can type a ' in from of the 0 and it works, but this takes an insane amount of time and will not work for us.
How do you deal with Zip Codes? Are there labeling options for mailing built into Numbers? I really want to dump all MS products but will have to drop mac and return buy Office if this is not correctable.
Thank you,
Brownie

Hello
Setting the column format to text do the trick on my french version too.
With AppleWorks, I was accustomed to use a zeroSlashed so it remained in my zip codes when I moved codes here and there.

In Purchase Order Line item Maintaining Serial Numbers for Material Codes

Dear Gurus,
We have a business process in legacy system for Purchase Order like in PO line item, Material code with description, Quantity, unit of Measurement, Serial Number Start and Serial Number End is maintained, for example for Material code when we enter the data AXMLN00001 in Serial Number Start column, if the Qty 500 is maintained, by default system will calculate AXMLN00500 in Serial Number End column.
We understand that in standard SAP we donu2019t have this option of maintaining Serial Number Start and End in Purchase order Line item. Please let us know how this can be mapped and is it advisable to create two Z fields in EKPO table or else can we make any development.
Suppose if this is not possible in SAP for PO then in Banks if we want to place a order for Cheque books how we can maintain Start and End Serial Numbers to print in cheque books.
Also client is not agreeing to maintain manually Serial numbers in item text.
regards,
Dhanu

Aamir,
When the PO Item was created say for example Material had Valuation category "Y" and latter you wanted to change the category to "Y". Now system would have check for all open PO's etc...based on this you must have set Deletion Indicator to this Line Item to allow valuation category change in material master. Now when this Item got created in the table level (EKPO), system updates the valuation category "Y". Currently this valuation category is not active so it would not allow you to perform removal of deletion indicator as program cannot automatically nor you have an option to manually update the valuation category to this Item.

Prasobh

Cannot sort a column in Numbers for iPad

I have a Numbers IOS spreadsheet on my iPad which contains 6 worsheets. I can sort the columns in all but one worksheet. In the problem worsheet, when I tap on the grey bar above any column, the menu that appears excludes the "Sort" option. What is wrong?

Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

How do I sort part of a column in Numbers for iCloud?

With several sets of data in a single sheet I need to sort a subset of a column and can't see how I do that. It's clear how to sort the entire column but not (at least to me) just a subset of it. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi David,
May I suggest the following workaround for you?
Select the subset you want to sort;
Cut the data to the clipboard (Ctrl + X in Windows, Command + X in Mac);
Create a new table on the same sheet and paste the data (Ctrl + V in Windows, Command + V in Mac);
Sort the data in the (new) table;
Select the data and copy it back to the empty spaces in your first table.
Merry Christmas from South Africa!

How do I resize the column in numbers for the iPad

Hi, I have numbers app in my iPad and I can't figure out how to resize the columns. There are no column headers when I create a new spreadsheet, and I can't click between the columns and even when I turn wrap text off it doesn't resize just overlay.
I hope there has to be a way that I just can't figure out as it seems like a very simple task that should be obvious.
Karena

Tap on any cell in a table to bring up the table options. You'll see two bars above and to the left of the table. There is a dot in a circle on the top left, and two toggles to increase/decrease the number of rows or columns. To change the width of a column, tap in the bar above the table in the column which you want to resize, and that column will become highlighted. From here you can select multiple columns using the handles to resize multiple columns at once. In the bar at the top, there are two little dashes - drag this left and right to resize the column.

¿"Categorize by this column" in Numbers for iOS?

Leading Zeros in Zip Code

I frequently export address information from a database to a tab-delimited text file and then import it into Numbers. However, some zip codes have leading zeros (i.e., "00644"). When I import this file into Numbers the zip codes with leading zeros lose their zeros (i.e., the field looks like ... "644").
If I format the field after the import as "Text," it doesn't resolve the problem.
How do I retain these zeros?

CER 8.5 unable to put in Canada Zip code

Hi,
I've a client running CER 8.5 on VMWare. The System Locale is set to "United States".
Client is adding an ALI for Canada but the ZIP code and ZIP code extension are not taking the valid canadian Zip codes which are Alpha Numberic.
For example, one of the Valid Canadian Zip Code is: L6M2W1, when client tries to put it in, he gets the followoing message:
"Please enter a valid numeric value for Zip Code".
As per the CER 8.5 Administration guide, the Zip Code and Zip Code extension fields will take following values:
Zip Code ----- The postal zip code for the address. ---- You are limited to 5 characters.
Zip Code Extension --- The postal zip code "plus four" number. ---- You are limited to 4 digits.
The country Code and State are correctly set to CA/ON but still same error. Trying to update the existing ALIs are also throwing the same error.
I am not sure what version they were running earlier, but he did say he never had this issue in previous CER version.
Has someone else noticed it and is aware of any possible fix for it? Or client needs to change the Locale from "United States" to "Canada" to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Kapil

Thanks for your time replying.
I figured it out and asked the client to ignore it.
Not sure if he is going to like it, but what's Cisco's say on it?
If I get it somewhere documented clearly that it's meant only for United States locations, it'll make things clear.
Thanks,
Kapil
