% formating if a whole number is inputted

Hello:
I have a numeric field on my form. I clicked on the field, went to the "Cell" tab clicked on "Patterns" and in the "Display" tab set my pattern to " num.percent{} "
My problem is that my user wants it to display 10% when they key in "10" (whole number) currently keying in "10" displays 1,000%.
So far the only way to display 10% is by keying in ".10". I understand why .10 gives me 10% but the behavior of the users will be to key in a whole number.
What is the best way to solve?
Thanks,
Keith.

That worked perfectly in fact I ended adding to it num{99.99'%'} to display less than 1 percent values.
I do have another quick question. In another field where I have dates. I have the following setting in the display pattern:
date{MM/DD/YYYY}
My issues is that it will only format/display if I click the calendar pop up and select a particular day. That is to say if I was to input the date manually like 06262008 or 6262008 it would display the number like I just inputted not in the display pattern that I had set (06/26/2008)
Any more ideas how to solve?
And thanks very much :-)
Keith.

Whole number field formatted as timezone in CRM 2013 SP1UR1 gives error on saving

Hi,
I added a whole number field formatted as time zone to the appointment form and when I save the record I get an error saying
Crm Exception: Message: An unexpected error occurred., ErrorCode: -2147220970, InnerException: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OptionSetValue' to type 'System.IConvertible'.
This error is coming from the timezone field and only happens when I have data in the field. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks

More info, the error occurs on pipeline stage 30 of the Book or Reschedule message and the same thing happens in CRM 2015. I've started a thread on connect with URL
https://connect.microsoft.com/dynamicssuggestions/feedback/details/1128206/crm-2013-sp1ur1-cant-handle-the-timezone-field
This must be rather new because I've tried it in CRM 2011 UR late and it did not occur there, I haven't tried CRM 2013 RTM though so I can't say if it's a CRM 2013 or a CRM 2013 SP1UR1 issue.
BTW, the 2015 org was a complete vanilla so I've pretty much ruled out custom code as a culprit :)

How to count Number of Input files onTarget Location?

Hi Experts,
I want to identify number of Input files available in Directory of Target system. Input file format is Input*.txt
Once if I have this Count then based on that I can apply further logic in SAP R/3 coding.
Please suggest me for the same.

so say at one instance there are 7 files and XI picks them up, your BPM collects it and when you send it to R3 you need to know how many files have been processed?
Well if this is the case, modify your BPM to accommodate collect pattern based on time. So fix a time period basically a time out say an hour. So the BPM will run for an hour after it receives the first file in and if within an hour say 7 files have come in, once the time out kicks in the BPM will exit. In you mapping of N:1 inside the bpm you can write a UDF which will count the occurrance of the root node of the source (a mandatory node of the source) and populate it to any field in the target tht you want to use.
Is this what you are looking for?

When I sort a column of figures, it sorts by the first digit. How do I get it to sort by the whole number?

I have a column of numbers, Specifically: 5.2, 42.0, 25.5, 2.4, 11.8, 0.9, 0.5. Notice how it has sorted by the first digit, not the whole number. In other words 5.2 is ranked higher than 42, because 5 is larger than 4. What do I turn on or off to make it behave sensibly?
Any answers would be appreciated.
Martin

Hi Martin,
Are the cells formatted as Text (left aligned, as in Column B)?
Data Format in Column C
Column C will sort as Number.

Rounding to a whole number

What is the proper syntax for rounding to a whole number. In my spread sheet I have a function set up to apply a divisor to cost, in this case = F7 $625 / G7 .65 = $961.54. I simply want the number to round to the nearest whole dollar amount $962.00

Hi ghemmen,
or you could just do with formatting.

Whole number rounding off in bom

is it possible not to round off whole numbers in the bom component quantity? for example, when i input the number 8.000, the system rounds it off to just 8.

Hi,
Please let know your unit of measurement.
Goto CUNI set the Decimal places and decimal pl.routing = 3 for your unit .
Now try with decimal places at BOM.
If your unit is related to whole number like Nos, EA system will give warring message.

Non whole number powers

Hi,
this seems quite a simple problem, but i can't see asimple solution,
if i want to carry out the calculation of x to the power y, where y is a whole number, labview caters for this in two ways,
either through the 'scale through power of two', which requires you to devide you x by 2, but it works, or
by initialising an array of the input with x, with a dimension size of y, and then 'Multiply array elements'
Bot hof these seem to work for a whole number.
What if wanted to have a power of say y=0.2?? or any non-whole number??
is there an x^y icon i've missed???
Please help!! - many preemptive thanks!!

Regards.
Greg

FIrst of all you should stay with the date format. Instead of converting it into a string you could TRUNCATE it to the first day of the Iso-Wekk.
And to enable index usage you just have to put a certain range on your queries.
example
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(sysdate, 'IW') ;if col_date can hold values that are greater than syste. Or if you use another date value to compare than sysdate. Then you need to compare with a range. Just like this
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(sysdate, 'IW')
and col_date < trunc(sysdate, 'IW')+7 ;If you want to input a certain WEEK and get all entries from that week you can start with the first day of the iso-Year and add the number of weeks to it.
example using iso-Week 40
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(sysdate, 'IYYY') + 7 * 40
and col_date < trunc(sysdate, 'IYYY')+7 * (40 + 1);However calendar arithmetic is complex. We have to be careful for special cases. For example the beginning of the ISO-Year 2011 is the 3rd Jan 2011. So if we run this logic on the first or second of January *2011* we would get the calendar week 40 from *2010*. This is probably not what you want.
To take this into account we must make sure that we are using the proper year. There are several possibilities how to do it. In this case I choose to use the normal TRUNC to get the first day of the normal year (1.1.2011) then add a week and truncate again.
example
select *
from t
where col_date >= trunc(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY)+7, 'IYYY') + 7 * 40
and col_date < trunc(trunc(sysdate,'YYYY)+7, 'IYYY')+7 * (40 + 1);Edited by: Sven W. on Dec 3, 2010 8:52 AM

Maximum number of inputs in "write data"

Which is the maximum number of input channels in "write data"? It seems that it is only 16 inputs. I have more than 16 parameters in my application. What do you suggest? I would like to have all the data gathered in one file.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use the Multiplex module to combine multiple channels into one. Typically, use the "by block" setting. The output will be a single wire with all of the channels multiplexed in the block. You can have a maximum of 16:1 multiplexed. Use multiple Multiplex modules. They do not have to be symmetric, but you do need to keep track of how many channels are muxed onto a single wire.
In the Write module, click on the Options button next to the file format (ASCII or DASYLab) - at the bottom of the dialog box, you configure it to match how you multiplexed - by block or by value (by sample). Then, on the right, configure how many channels are multiplexed onto each of the input channels.
Doing it this way tells DASYLab how to de-multiplex the data in the file. You will lose channels names. YOu can configure channel names for the multiplexed channels by using global strings. At the very bottom of the dialog box you can assign a global string for each channel. Tedious... but it can be done.

Help - Add Thousand Separator to Whole Number

I am unable to figure out how to add a thousand separator to a whole number. I guess removing the decimal places from a decimal number would work as well. It is driving me insane. Example - I have a decimal number 1,299.00 that
I would like to show as 1,299. If I change it to a whole number it shows 1299. I can't find where to show the thousand separator and make it 1,299.
Thanks,

Can I create a dynamic number of inputs during runtime?

Can I create a dynamic number of inputs during runtime?
Oracle 11g
Application Express 4.0.2.00.06
Here is my problem:
We have a table that holds metadata about files (hardcopy or softcopy files).
We expect we may need more columns in the table at some point and don't want to modify the table or the application.
So in order to do this I would like to create:
A table called TBL_FILE with the columns:
TBL_FILE_ID               NUMBER                (This will be the primary key)
TBL_FILE_NAME          VARCHAR2(1000) (This will be the name of the file)
A second table will be called TBL_FILE_META with the columns:
TBL_META_ID               NUMBER               (This will be the primary key)
TBL_FILE_ID               NUMBER                (This will be the forign key to the file table)
TBL_META_COLUMN     VARCHAR2(30)     (This is what the column name would be if it existed in TBL_FILE)
TBL_META_VALUE          VARCHAR2(1000) (This is the value that record and the 'would be' column)
So a person can have as much meta data on the file with out having to add columns to the table.
The problem is how can I allow users to add as much data as they like with out having to re develop the page.
Other things to note is that we would like this to be on a single page.
I know how to add we can create multi-row inserts by using a SQL Query (updateable report),
however the TBL_META_VALUE column in the TBL_FILE_META will sometimes be a select list and other times a text box or number field.
So I don't see now a SQL Query (updateable report) would work for this and I can't create an array of page items at run time can I?
Any idea's how I could accomplish this? Is there a better way of doing this?
Also is there a term or a name for what I am doing by creating these 'virtual' columns in another table?
I found this method when looking at Oracles Workflow tables.

Creating Page Items dynamically is not available. You will have to create excess items and hide/show , etc. But you cannot change the Item Type. All in all, too many limitations in this approach.
>
Other things to note is that we would like this to be on a single page.
>
The 100 item limit will hit you if you go with extra item on page. With Tabular Form that should not be a limitation, unless you are exceeding the 50 item limit of APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fnn items, and the 60 column limitation of Report region with "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" of Dynamic region.

If the type if item is variable it only means you need a way to store the item type. Meta Data of the Meta Data.

So I don't see now a SQL Query (updateable report) would work for this and I can't create an array of page items at run time can I?

Yes, you can do it. Updatable report/ Tabular Form query can be constructed from the Meta Data using PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query . It will be a bit of coding in PL/SQL where you use the Meta Data and the Meta Data of the Meta Data to piece together your SELECT with the right APEX_ITEMs. It might have a performance penalty associated with it, but will not be a serious degradation.

Format of reference document number is invalid Message no. 8A556

Dear Expert,
I have problem while executing transaction Manual Posting incoming invoice with t-code FB60. The error message shown as written above "Format of reference document number is invalid Message no. 8A556"
I have check the customizing on document type and number range, they are all standard SAP, nothing strange as far my concern.
Could any one give any idea on this problem.
Thanks in advance
Irhasni

Dear Experts,
I have tried to investigate this problem but still have no solution for doc. type KR (Posting vendor invoice)
During investigation on this problem, I did a simulation posting using document type other than KR (assign manually) either by t-cod FB60 or F-02 or F-43, I chose doc. type KA and SA, there is no error when using this doc type, it create Accounting document and Tax line item also appear.
From the simulation I did with this problem, the problem seems on Document type KR (default doc. type for Vendor Invoice). I suspect, it might some setting at other modul likely at MM that control the "Reference" field during document entry... eventhough this field is not set as mandatory at OBA7, it's still saying the same error message.
Is there anyone have any ideas about problem in document type KR?
Thanks in advance

Pulling my hair out: Change format from date to number format?

I was recently sent a formatted Excel spreadsheet in which to enter my own numbers. The format is date and duration, but the last column is the total number of hours and minutes converted into decimals, e.g. 3hrs. 30mins. = 3.5 hours.
It was going fine until last night when I tried to enter 5:73 as a number, not a duration, but Numbers keeps changing it to 6m 13s. I've tried changing the format from Duration to Number but although the cell will say 0:00, when I enter the number 5:73 it automatically switches back.
The weird thing is that it's only happening on about one-third of the cells. I even cut-and-pasted a section of the spreadsheet that didn't have this problem, cleared the contents and then typed my info into the same lines and rows and it's still doing the same thing.
How can I see the hidden formatting in Numbers cells to see if I can figure what needs to be changed?
Thank you.

Hi Jane,
dragging on bottom right corner but all that does is increase the range, not the size of the actual cell itself.
Hover the cursor over the right of a column (Column B in this example) until the cursor becomes a cross with arrows pointing East and West. Drag right to widen the column.
Or use the Format Panel > Table > Row & Column Size
(You may have to drag the panel up to see this)
I really miss in Numbers is being able to edit cell contents in a formula bar.
Here is the formula bar in Numbers 3.2 after clicking twice on a cell
The formula bar is moveable. Hover over the left of the bar until the cursor changes to a 'hand' and you can drag it.
Resize the formula bar by hovering over any edge and drag
Tricky with a trackpad, easier with a mouse .
Also, the cell contents appear at bottom left of the Numbers window
If you prefer Numbers 2.3, I agree it is much more user-friendly version.
Regards,
Ian.

Queue SYSFAIL after message split "Whole number overflow on addition"

Hi,
I'm using a message mapping in PI 7.1 to split a message in several messages for each line of an invoice. It's a mapping 1 to 0..n. Everything went well since I had maximum 100 invoice lines to split (then 100 messages at the output of the mapping).
But since I have now messages with 200 invoice lines, everytime the queue is stopped in SYSFAIL status with a message "Whole number overflow on addition". But all messages are processed even if the queue is stopped.
ST22 gives me a COMPUTE_INT_PLUS_OVERFLOW in the method determin_message_size. It seams that PI doen't support a large message at output of a mapping. How can I split the message into multple messages at the outplut of a message mapping ?
Does anyone have a solution ?

Hi,
I guess you can use the Message Packing feature.
