Function which converts number 1 to √

Hello people,
I recently started Numbers and I'm in the process of creating a spreadshit to organice various important data concerning my music compositions. I've been trying the following for some days now without any success and I would really apreciate your help!
What I'm trying to do is to set a cell function so whenever I fill in a cell with the number "1" the actually number to be converted to symbol "√" and fill the cell with a particular color.
It might be stupidly easy but I have absolutely no knowledge on functions etc etc.
I have a cell with these characteristics and I know I can simple copy paste the cell to whenever I want but it's a bit more time conciuming and plus I want to learn more on functions
Thank you very much in advance!

Jerrold thank you, although to be honest I didn't much understand your solution. I have set a rule that says when "√" highlight with green. There are plenty work-arounds that are the solution to my "problem" but I was just wondering if Numbers was capable of excecuting such a task, and being able to just put the number "1" into a cell and Numbers to transform it to a "√" in a green filled cell - Wayne this is to answer to your question.
What about the function REPLACE? Might this excecute a simular task? Like replace "1" with "√"?
Thanks both of you btw for your time and help!

Function to convert number to word format.

Dear Friends,
Could you please help me with a code that will take 'sum of all values of a column' as input parameter & return its value in word format.
Number can be negative , it can/can't contain digits after decimal.
i have two ways but it won't work when my no. becomes negative
Moreover i want that it should work on both type of data, numbers without decimal & number with decimal.
that is what i possess:
1)
function CF_1FORMULA return char is
num1 number;

'J' ),
'Jsp' ) || l_str(i) || l_return||'Rupees';
end if;

How to convert number field into time

Hi
I have made a form for storing of private dialed calls from different extensions. To store call duration i have assigned a number field which is storing following type of data
1.34
1.19
37.29
1.47
In above mentioned data decimals are seconds and left side is minutes.
Now the requirement is that if second is > 30 then 1 minute should be added in minutes else 30 seconds should appear instead of original seconds.
Please Help!

>

In above mentioned data decimals are seconds and left side is minutes.
>
Please provide info about the form in which you RECEIVE the data. Do you receive the data in MM.SS format like you say you are storing it?
If not, why are you storing it this way?
Unless you have some reason to STORE the data differently just store it the way you got it. That way you won't lose any precision and you can manipulate it any way you need to for display purposes.
If you receive START_TIME and END_TIME then store both of those. Don't calculate and store duration; you will lose END_TIME and if you later need to calculate duration to a different precision you won't be able to.
Where is the data being stored? Oracle?
Write a simple function to convert a duration to minutes and seconds using the '>30' rule you have. Then if the rule changes you can write a new function or modify the existing one and the data itself doesn't have to change.

Pipelined function which creates xml nodes,items and elements

Hi Everyone,
I am Vikas Kumar and i have written a pipelined function
which is returning a UDT which i have created in my database.
but when i am piping a row then there is error :
"Error: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'CLASEC_MENU_TYPE' "
i have created UDT as :
create type clasec_menu_type as object (menu_data xmltype);
create type clasec_menu_list_type as table of clasec_menu_type;
and function is as below
create or replace function clasec_fns_menu
return clasec_menu_list_type pipelined as
doc xmldom.DOMDocument;
main_node xmldom.DOMNode;
root_node xmldom.DOMNode;
user_node xmldom.DOMNode;
item_node xmldom.DOMNode;
root_elmt xmldom.DOMElement;
item_elmt xmldom.DOMElement;
item_text xmldom.DOMText;
CURSOR get_menu IS
SELECT menu_level,
is_menu_a_leaf,
menu_id,
menu_name,
menu_screen_uri,
screen_target_frame,
rownum
FROM clasec_menu_view1;
BEGIN
doc := xmldom.newDOMDocument;
main_node := xmldom.makeNode(doc);
root_elmt := xmldom.createElement(
doc,
'Menubar'
root_node := xmldom.appendChild(
main_node,
xmldom.makeNode(root_elmt)
pipe row (clasec_menu_type(root_node));
FOR get_menu_rec IN get_menu LOOP
if get_menu_rec.menu_level = 1 then
item_elmt := xmldom.createElement(
doc,
'menu'
xmldom.setAttribute(
item_elmt,
'text',
get_menu_rec.menu_name
user_node := xmldom.appendChild(
root_node,
xmldom.makeNode(item_elmt)
pipe row(user_node);
end loop;
end;
compilation error is at the statement
pipe row (clasec_menu_type(root_node));
i think its conversion error but don,t know how can i convert root_node which has been defined with :
root_node xmldom.DOMNode;
Regards,
Vikas Kumar

Hi,
Your type, clasec_menu_type, needs an argument of type XMLType. If you want to create instance of XMLType, you have to pass it varchar2, clob or XMLType.
So, think how will you convert xmldom.DOMNode to XMLtype or Varchar2 or clob.
Best of luck

How to convert number datatype to raw datatype for use in data warehouse?

I am picking up the work of another grad student who assembled the initial data for a data warehouse, mapped out a dimensional dw and then created then initial fact and dimension tables. I am using oracle enterprise 11gR2. The student was new to oracle and used datatypes of NUMBER (without a length - defaulting to number(38) for dimension keys. The dw has 1 fact table and about 20 dimension tables at this point.
Before refining the dw further, I have to translate all these dimension tables and convert all columns of Number and Number(n) (where n=1-38) to raw datatype with a length. The goal is to compact the size of the dw database significantly. With only a few exceptions every number column is a dimension key or attribute.
The entire dw db is now sitting in a datapump dmp file. this has to be imported to the db instance and then somehow converted so all occurrences of a number datatype into raw datatypes. BTW, there are other datatypes present such as varchar2 and date.
I discovered that datapump cannot convert number to raw in an import or export, so the instance tables once loaded using impdp will be the starting point.
I found there is a utl_raw package delivered with oracle to facilitate using the raw datatype. This has a numbertoraw function. Never used it and am unsure how to incorporate this in the table conversions. I also hope to use OWB capabilities at some point but I have never used it and only know that it has a lot of analytical capabilities. As a preliminary step I have done partial imports and determined the max length of every number column so I can alter the present schema number columns tp be an apporpriate max length for each column in each table.
Right now I am not sure what the next step is. Any suggestions for the data conversion steps would be appreciated.

How to create FrameMaker glossary entries which convert properly to RoboHelp HTML 8?

I have been having a challenging time creating FrameMaker 9 glossary
entries which convert properly into RoboHelp HTML 8. Here is the process I'm doing, and perhaps someone call tell me what I'm doing wrong.
1.) In the FrameMaker document, I highlight a word or phrase which serves as the "glossary term" to be defined.
2.) I open the Marker dialog box, select the Glossary option, then enter the "glossary definition" for the highlighted "glossary term." I commit the entry.
3.) In the FrameMaker Book file, I create a new "Index of Markers" (IOM) of "Glossary" type. Upon generation of the IOM, my FrameMaker output is much like a standard index: There are letter delimiters ("A," "B," C," etc.), and under each is the "glossary definition," then a page number where the "glossary term" is.
4.) Now I go to RoboHelp HTML 8 and update the document there. The glossary displays such that the "glossary term" is the entire paragraph in which the marker had been placed in the FrameMaker source file. The "glossary definition" is displayed properly (the text I placed into the Marker dialog box.
So, how am I to create auto-generating glossaries? This implies that I need to create a manual glossary whereby the "glossary term" is in a paragraph by itself (much like a printed glossary would look). Furthermore, I would need to add this manual glossary as a file in the FrameMaker Book file for RoboHelp 8 to detect and pull the entries.
Surely this isn't as how it was designed. I suspect I'm doing something wrong in how I create glossary entries or create the file in the FrameMaker Book file.
Could someone offer some assistance?
Thank you very much in advance!
Most sincerely,
Sammy Spencer

It's because you're doing your markers backwards. The text inside your Glossary marker should be the term. The paragraph your marker is inside is the definition.
I should say, rather, that Robohelp does it backwards, because when I think of glossary terms and definitions, I think there should be a way to highlight a word and provide the definition in the hidden marker, not hide the term inside the marker.
I am still figuring out how to make a glossary in my Framemaker file that will work with my Robohelp file, and not have Robohelp generate a separate content file for the glossary file. I think I'll get it, though. Eventually.

Partner Function as Personnel Number

Hi All,
I need to use the same functionality as of Business Partners tab of VA03 in my custom transaction.
When the Partner function is customer , then using the partner number we can navigate to KNA1 and can fetch customer name, address number.
in the same way, if partner function is vendor , we can use LFA1 to find out name and addr number.
If the partner function is Personnel number , which table can be used to find out the detials like name of the personnel number and address number.
Is there any table for this or any procedure? Please let me know.
thanks,
lakshmi.
