Formating a SUM-Field

Hi,
I want to format a number. When I format a normal field, it works.
expression: <?GEHALT_MON11?>
formatmask (MS): #.##0,00 €;(#.##0,00 €)
But when I format a SUM-Field, it does not work. The result is not formatted.
<?sum(current-group()//GEHALT_MON11)?>
formatmask (MS): #.##0,00 €;(#.##0,00 €)
I alternatively tried formating with the oracle formatmasks - it also didn't work on the SUM-Field.
Why?
thank you,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
To use the Oracle format mask or the Microsoft format mask, the numbers in your data
source must be in a raw format, with no formatting applied (for example: 1000.00). If the
number has been formatted for European countries (for example: 1.000,00) the format
will not work.
If you want to use Oracel format-mask , use this
<?format-number:sum(TOTAL_PAID_DAYS_AMOUNT);’999G990D00’?>
I think better , you can put the part of xml here

Break formatting and number format of SUM value

Where can I put number formatting functio, which will format breaking sum values...like:
to_char(#SUM_VALUE#,'fmt 999G999G999G990')....maybe this thread is somewhere posted, but I cannot find it.
Next, how to exclude showing reports total at the end of report?
Is there any working demo to see some hints...
THX!

Hello Damir,
"Maybe a hint for feature releases to have an option to disable total report sum on column …"There is a relative simple workaround, which will allow you exclude or highlight (style) this total report sum line, as you can see in here - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22710:10
In the Report Attribute page, I'm using the Break Formatting section first field "Display this text when printing report sums" - http://i10.tinypic.com/4ie8ck5.png .
If you want to exclude this line, you should use the same color as your cell background. For the example page, the code is looking like this:
<div id="FinalSum"><script type="text/javascript">var lastRow=html_CascadeUpTill('FinalSum','TR'); lastRow.style.color='#f7f7e7';</script></div>If, on the other hand, you want to highlight the line, or use any other CSS attribute style available, the code would look something like this:
<div id="FinalSum1"><script type="text/javascript">var lastRow=html_CascadeUpTill('FinalSum1','TR'); lastRow.style.backgroundColor='#CCCC99';</script>Total Report Sum</div> Regards,
Arie.

=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M","0",Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value )) =IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="P","0",SUM(Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value )) =SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M",CDbl(Fields!COST.Value * Fields

in this i want to calculate only Option code 'M' Amount in gross total.BUT MY Gross total calculating M and P Amount. option code P value should visible but not to add.
please any body help me to writing any function
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M","0",Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value ))
iam writing like below its showing error
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M","0",Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value ))
=IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="P","0",SUM(Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value ))
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M",CDbl(Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value), CDbl(0,0)

Hi Pullela venu,
I have checked the expression and found that you have incude the string "0" in the SUM function which will cause the error, please remove the "" of the value 0 as below to have a test:
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M",0,Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value ))
=IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="P",0,SUM(Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value ))
For the last expression as below is not correct, CDBL function format is CDBL(expression):
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M",CDbl(Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value), CDbl(0,0)
Modify as below:
=SUM(IIF(Fields!OPTION_CODE.Value="M",CDbl(Fields!COST.Value * Fields!TOTAL_UNITS.Value), CDbl(0.0) )
If the problem still exists, please provide the error message if the expression throw any error.
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

Access 2013: Sum fields on a form suddenly showing up blank

I have a simple Access database (originally built in 2010, now running 2013). Sometime in the last week or so all of the SUM fields in the database started showing up BLANK (one minute everything was working fine, the next it wasn't, not sure what happened
in between). Even when I create a new, basic form, I can't seem to get my SUM fields working.
For example, I have a table where I document number of miles traveled for work purposes, the fields include: TravelDate, ProjectID, Mileage, and Description. Mileage is a Number field, Long Integer. If I create a continuous form, connect it to the table
(same thing happens if I connect to a query), add a field in the Detail section with
Mileage as control source and txtMileage as name and a field in the FORM FOOTER that is: =Sum([txtMileage])...the SUM field is empty in
Form View. And, there are no NULL values in the data set. This is happening across all of my forms and subforms, all SUM fields are now displaying as blank.
Is it possible that I changed a global Access setting to cause this? A form setting? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Laura

I had the same sudden issue. But I was able to determine that it involved only one workstation. All the others were fine, as well as a test run on another Win 8 station outside the environment. From there I was able to determine that a third party
app had been installed near the time of the problem showing up. I uninstalled it and it immediately was resolved. The app was a C# based tool thought the authors have yet to identify why this caused a problem. My suspicion is that they wrote a 32 bit version
and this was installed on a 64 bit station, and there is some issue with mso.dll, where I believe the function calls exist for sum. I am testing to see if there are similar function errors in Excel.
What is noticeable was that Access did not throw a an Error# nor a #name. Just nothing appeared, and when you click on a row, the sum would appear, though it was incorrect.
In Access 2010 I remember there were some footer field issues in continuous which eventually were patched.
It was an opportunity to remind my client - do not install anything from any one on the live system without prior testing.

Format of Date field is loading wrongly in the Infocube 0pp_c01.

Hi,
Format of Date field is loading wrongly in the Infocube 0pp_c01. But it is loading properly into PSA.
I am loading data into PP infocubes from the following DataSources.(they all are 3.x datasources)
1. 2LIS_04_P_MATNR
2. 2LIS_04_P_ARBPL
3. 2LIS_04_P_COMP
The data is coming properly upto PSA. For example Actual Start date is loaded in cube like 733.884.
And, it is the same issue with all the cubes. So I checked the update rules. But, in it the mapping is done properly.
Thanks $ Regards

Hi,
HEre also value is loaded correctly. The reason u are seeing it in this format is because it is mapped into a key figure in the info cube.
It will store the value as number of days from a standard date like 1/1/1000 or 1/1/1900 - not sure which one of these, u should be able to search and find the correct date in the forums..but this is the logic behind it
Hope it helps.

How to format a numeric field in ES2 ?

Hi...
I'm trying to format a numeric field in LiveCycle designer using six digit and allowing zero's "000000"…
I went to patterns for setting the format, unfortunately I couldn't know how figure it out?
I’ve tried this pattern: null{}|zero{000000}|num.integer{}
It didn’t work!
what actually I’m looking for is six digit at all time for instance if enter value of 1 in the field expect to appear 000001 ,and if i enter value 567 the appearance will be 000567 in the field and so on...etc.
Another issue is how to validate a range of numeric value like 000001-999999 so that the input will be only restricted by those values…
Hope this is clear! And sorry for my bad English
Best Regards...

Hi,
could you please share your solution?
I have a similar problem. I need to allow zeros before my integers to be inputed to the form.
thanks.

Formatting a date field

I am trying to format a date field so that it shows as 06/29/2005 instead of 06/29/2005 00:00:00. Im thinking that I need to use the Substr function to do this but cant get it to work. Here is what I have, @(Substr(REQUIRED_DATE,1,10)). Any help would be great.

The field is set up as a text field. From what I have read in Help, $date20 is for when you want to make a field be the system date. I want to change the format of a date that is being pulled from my database. Can I use the $date20 function for this? Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change date format for ‘Created’ field in the getVersions web service.
Per my knowledge, you can get the date format for ‘Created’ field as “MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm a”.
For more information, you can refer to:
Versions.GetVersions Method (Versions)

When formatting a date field in a where clause the template put dot instead of comma

Hello to Headstart Workers !
In a query find block the template construct a where clause, in some cases, and i dont know when the template is formatting a date field putting a dot instead of a comma.
Ex.: to_date('19-01-2001'.'DD-MM-YYYY')
Anybody knows why or where the template do this.
Congratulations

Date format(for number fields)

Hi there.
I'm creating some sql queries wich will be executed by some users throught the Oracle client PL/SQL, and I need to format some fields in date format.
Those fields are NUMBER(8) and they are in that format: "YYYYMMDD"
The format I want to put that information is: "DD.MM.YYYY".
What's the easiest way to do that?
The version that I'm using is Oracle 9.2.0.4.0.
Thanks by the way.

Hi,
Use TO_CHAR to convert the number to a string,
use TO_DATE to convert the string to a date, then
use TO_CHAR to format the date.
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( TO_CHAR ( numeric_column
                            , 'fm00000000'
                  , 'YYYYMMDD'
        , 'DD.MM.YYYY'
        )This shows why storing dates in some other kind of column is a bad idea.

Reports 6: Character format within the field

Is it possible to apply different types of formatting (bold,italic,font size changes and font type changes) to a text within same field using Oracle Reports 6i? We are generating PDF files using Oracle Reports (legal documents) that must have proper formatting within the field and can't find way of doing it dynamically. Text for the field is pulled from the database - it is not hard-coded in report.
Is this available in Ver 9/10?
Thanks,
Dejan Bogojevic

Hi Dejan,
You can get the desired output in HTML format in 9i/10g. Look at the "Contains HTML Tags" property in Builder Online Help. However, for PDF output this is not currently supported.
