Formatting numbers

I have some Flex charts in an app and the various numbers
going past four digits don't have any formatting, how do you insert
this?
I.e. I want it to show "12,000" instead of "12000"
M.

I found an example of a Number formatter here:

Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

Hello together!
I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
That means,
1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
What's wrong?
Do I have to change any country parameter?

I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

New to formatting numbers

The following is an assignment given to me in my intro to Java class.
The program EmployeeTest calls different methods in Employee in order to print out the pay per individual, total pay, gross pay, and total net pay.
While I know that the teacher wants me to use java.text.NumberFormat, I am unsure how to proceed. I have been able to format my numbers with the comma, but have no idea how to format the decimals. She wants the third decimal place DROPPEd, not rounded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First you mentioned assignment.Thats good, know we now how much and how we can help. It's annoying with posts which is
obvious assignments but the author doesn't tell us so.
Second, you don't use code tags to post code.To get code tags click the code button over the window, this will give you code tags
at the end of your post. You write the code between the brackets pairs like
[hoho] static public void main(String[] args) [hoho], just that "hoho" should be "code" instead.

Can i format numbers with spry?

Can i format numbers for display with spry? I've got a number
field and want to put commas in for thousand seperators and also
need to pad some numbers with zeros....kinda like numberformat()
really in CF, else i guess I have to do it with in my data
preparation,
thanks,
john.

Hi John,
So if I were going to make this work with your XML, I would
create a custom column on the fly after the data was loaded. This
custom column would strip the formatting and convert the resulting
numbers into real numbers. Also, for any rows that had nothing, it
would stick a zero in this custom column.
Then when it comes time for sorting, you sort on the custom
column instead of the formatted one.
Look at this example. It shows you how you can create custom
columns:

How to format numbers in Address Book for iPhone

I am planning to get an iPhone within the next few weeks and have begun entering all the numbers from my current cell phone into Address Book so that I'll be able to sync it with the iPhone. Since I never had to sync these numbers with anything other than my .Mac account, they are all entered like this: (555) 555-5555. Do I have to format them differently so that I will be able to use them on the iPhone. And do I have to add a "1" for each number or can I have the iPhone add that automatically?
Thanks.

entering like your example works fine. Just remember that if your entering phone # outside the US use the "+" symbol. example +46 35 46678 67

Formatting Numbers with BPC NW 10.0 SP19 1 in Microsoft Word & PowerPoint 2010

Dear BPC Experts,
We are trying to use the BPC Add-in for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint; however, we cannot figure out how to get the numbers in a report properly formatted.
I created a report directly in Word:
Then, on the EPM Ribbon I attempted to go to Options>Document Options and use the Formatting tab Number Format field and received the popup:
Error details:
I Copied a report from the Excel Add-in Report Actions>Copy Report to PowerPoint Report Actions>Paste Report but the number formatting is lost and I get the same error as with Word if I attempt to use Options>Presentation Options.
Any assistance with number formatting with the Word or PowerPoint Add-ins would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lisa

Hello Lisa,
Its simply saying that the both formats are different so its unable to apply the formatting.
in order to apply formatting in Word we have a special tab Design.
first create a report and then next go to design tab and choose any one of the default formatting table.
the formatting should be vary dynamically. please see the below images as reference.
Before formatting report looks like this
After Formatting by using design tab
Dynamic expansion
I feel its little bit difficult when compared to excel...

Contract Generation question: Formatting, Numbering of clauses, variables

Hi!
I am trying to create a Contract Document Template (for Contract Generation) with Variables
I created some Variable Collections, but when I link them to the Contract Template, they add on with a different formatting altogether, which is neither like the placeholder in the template nor like the template attached to the variable.
My variable configuration was of the type Paragraph.
If anyone has any helpful tips on formatting Contract Document Templates, it would be most appreciated.
Also, how do I ensure that numbering of sections and clauses is sequentially made in the final Contract.
Regards,
Reshma

I was able to fix the problem by making some word document format changes.
Please ignore this question.

Formatted numbers in pie chart

Hello
I'm displaying a pie chart graph and the numbers in it are not formatted (eg 345234534 without any commas).
I want to display numbers in a formatted way (0,000.00) in a pie chart, but if I use the NSTR function the number become a string and I can't use that number.
How can I do this ?
Bye
Omer

Hey Pramod,
I really wanted your answer to work, but it doesn't. The NVAL function convert the String Type to a number type ( ==> the graph accept the type), but it also deletes the commas.
Have you tried it yourself ?

Forms - Formating numberic cells in LiveCycle

Creating forms in Adobe acrobat Pro I could format a number cell to show negative numbers in red text and show parentheses. How can I do that in LiveCycle?

The error(s) occur when trying to save the document. I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:" ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button. That should expand the table. Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table. Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data. The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1.
The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data. I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos). However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document. Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X. The new copy:
-had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
-Duplicates of some of the fields
-Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else. I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons. I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them. I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

How to edit phone format numbers (not Verizon user)?

(55 99) xxxx-xxxx, what mess everithing.ow do I get to edit it to fit my needs?
Thanks in advance.

I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc... I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order. So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

URL with multiple ItemValues (formatted numbers)

Hi, guys.
Another day, another prob... oops, wrong word, suppose to be another solution...
I have a page with simple report on it.Each record has a link which pointed to javascript
javascript:printable_rpt('#col1#',#col2#,#col3#,#col4#,#col5#,#col6#)
(col1 is a date, other columns are numbers like 123,456)
<script type="text/javascript">
function printable_rpt(p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6)
var v_values = p1+','+p2+','+p3+','+p4+','+p5+','+p6;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::NO:RP:
P2_HDN_1,P2_HDN_2,P2_HDN_3,P2_HDN_4,P2_HDN_5,P2_HDN_6:'+v_values;
w = open(url,"Criteria",
"Scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=1,width=550,height=520,left=300,top=100");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
Page 2 is pure HTML page with the numbers i try to pass from page 1.
Everything looks simple and workable. But... There is always some buts... :)
Problem : because the numbers in report formatted with commas when
page 2 opens i have a pieces of numbers in my hidden items. (i.e.
if i sent 123,456 234,567 and so on, i get
123 in p2_HDN_1
456 in p2_HDN_2
234 in p2_HDN_3
567 in p2_HDN_4
and so on...
I searched help and found this :
itemValues
List of item values used to set session state within a URL.
Item values cannot include colons, but can contain commas if
enclosed with backslashes. To pass a comma in an item value,
enclose the characters with backslashes. For example:
\123,45\
So i tryed to do something like this:
v_values = p1+',\'+p2+'\,\'+p3+'\,\'+p4+'\,\'+p5+'\,\'+p6+'\';
Unfortunatly it does not work, giving error "Object expected".
Pls, help.
Thnks in advance
Mike

Hi, Scott.
Thanks for replay. I did try to put double backslashes and it did not work either. However it worked when i put double backslashes in javascript and single quotes in call for javascript :
javascript:printable_rpt('#col1#','#col2#','#col3#','#col4#','#col5#','#col6#')
var v_values = '\\'+p1+'\\,\\'+p2+'\\,\\'+p3+'\\,\\'+p4+'\\,\\'+p5+'\\,\\'+p6+'\\';
Interesting...
Thanks again for help.

Format numbers in datagrid as fractions?

I'd like to have a custom formatter to take numbers displayed
in a column of my DG as fractions (e.g. 0.5 as 1/2).
I had tried this in the past, modifying an existing
formatter. And while I got it to work with text fields, I couldn't
get it to work in a datagrid. I'm sure I must be missing something
obvious...
This code works:
<comp:FractionFormatter id="makeFraction"
myNumber="{0}"/>
<mx:TextInput id="myTI"/>
<mx:TextArea text="Formatted string is
{makeFraction.format(myTI.text)}"/>
But this does not:
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="{makeFraction.format(data)}"
headerText="Amount" width="40"/>
My formatter:
quote:
package myComponents
//Import base Formatter class
import mx.formatters.Formatter
public class FractionFormatter extends Formatter {
// Declare the variable to hold the pattern string.
public var myNumber:String;
// Constructor
public function FractionFormatter() {
// Override format().
override public function format(value:Object):String {
//Validate value - it must be a nonzero length string.
if(value.length == 0) {
// Return empty string and error message for zero-length
string.
error="Zero Length String";
return ""
//If the value is valid, format the string.
switch (myNumber) {
case ".25" :
return "1/4";
break;
case ".5":
return "1/2";
break;
case ".75":
return "3/4";
break;
case "1":
return "1";
break;
case "1.25":
return "1 1/4";
break;
default :
// If formatString is not "upper" or "lower",
// return empty string and set the error message.
error="Invalid Format String";
return "";

Actually, the fact that it's a string works for me here,
since my custom formatter expects a string.
That's the one last thing I'm confused about. Following the
example I got from a book, I made my formatter. And it was the
place I got the "myNumber" thing. So how would I modify my
FractionFormatter.as to eliminated the need to pass the string from
the main file (if I understand correctly):
package myComponents
//Import base Formatter class
import mx.formatters.Formatter
public class FractionFormatter extends Formatter {
// Declare the variable to hold the pattern string.
public var myNumber:String;
// Constructor
public function FractionFormatter() {
// Call base class constructor.
super();
// Override format().
override public function format(value:Object):String {
//Validate value - it must be a nonzero length string.
if(value.length == 0) {
// Return empty string and error message for zero-length
string.
error="Zero Length String";
return ""
//If the value is valid, format the string.
switch (myNumber) {
case ".25" :
return "1/4";
break;
case ".5":
return "1/2";
break;
case ".75":
return "3/4";
break;
case "1":
return "1";
break;
case "1.25":
return "1 1/4";
break;
default :
// If formatString is not "upper" or "lower",
// return empty string and set the error message.
error="Invalid Format String";
return "";
}

Format numbers into alphabetical list?
