How can I create a Cell Format in Numbers that doesn't display zeroes?

I can't figure this out. I need to view numbers in a column decimal aligned. If the number has trailing digits then all trailing zeros need to be removed up to the number of decimals to display. All remaining trailing zeros need to be hidden (not replaced with a space as a space isn't the same with as a digit). Below is a simple example I hacked in Photoshop. The first column shows the real entered value and the right it's displayed value. Note that the cell in red is showing that the trailing zero has been replaced with nothing but the decimal point is still aligned.

Hi Mike,
No sign of your photoshopped image, so I'm guessing about what you want here.
Does this resemble what you're looking for?
Column B contains the initial entries (made from the keyboard). I wasn't expecting to see the trailing zeroes retained in these.
All cells in columns C and D contain the formula shown above the table, =B, a simple cell reference to the column B cell on the same row as the formula.
Column C's format is left as the default "Automatic". As can be seen, all trailing zeroes are removed.
Cells in column D have had their format set as shown in the Inspector pane to the right of the table.
The value in these cells is still the same as the value in column B, and that is the value that would be used in any calculations referencing these cells. Formatting affects only the display of the cell contents. What is displayed is the value in the cell, rounded to two decimal places.
Regards,
Barry

I purchased an album that won't play now that my match subscrription has ended. Not interested in re-subscribing, but I paid for that album. How can I download it again since the cloud icon doesn't display?

How can I create additional "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5

How can I create additional or sub "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5.

Thank you for your reply Don, but I had already gone through that procedure and it will only create new mailboxes for received mail. I want to create new mailboxes for sent mail, i.e. the first column being "to" not "from". Under the Mailbox menus there is an option "Use This Mailbox For" but all the options under that (including Sent) are greyed out. Unfortunately the View/Columns option to change from "From" to "To" changes all mailboxes not just the active one.

How can I create a new worksheet every time that one cell it´s filled

I was looking in the references formulas and I find the formula "Direcction".
My goal it´s to create a new worksheet everytime that some cells are filled.
So I need one formula that alows me to put this reference and open automaticaly a new worksheet and this new table inside of this worksheet.
It is clair the question?
Someone can help me wiht that?

Hi Wayne, Not really, the smaller table it´s not really important, I was trying to do the new sheet with it in that case.
What I want is to use the dates in the row with the items markeds to create a new worksheet.
I made an example donw here.
I have the first table, than from it, I want to do 4 new tables
I mean, everytime that I finish with one column I want to have a new table (in a new work sheet) with that items markeds.
Do you think that script it´s possible to solve this?
How can I do it?

How can I customize the cell format "Time"

Here's my problem:
I'm importing aschedule from my soccer club from an internet page in csv. In essence it shows me:
DateOfMatch, StartTime, EndTime
Upon import Numbers adds to the two time cells a date as this is not included in the source data.
So I end up with
yyyy-mm-dd; yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss; yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
What I need is:
yyyy-mm-dd; hh:mm:ss; hh:mm:ss
I couldn't find an option to get time only in a cell.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
Martin

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for your patience.
What I want to do in the end is create an entry (appointment) in iCal This is done via a script.
The set StartDate and SetEnddate expects date&time in one cell. So far so good. This is what Numbers provides.
My problem is that the .csv file I get from the internet download comes as
yyyy-mm-dd; hh:mm; hh:mm as described earlier.
Upon import Numbers changes the format and adds a date to the "tme only" column. The date added is the import date, which I cannot use of course as I need my iCal entry to reflect the actual date of the match.
To generate the format I need for iCal I would need to delete the import date Numbers added and concatenate the imported match date with the start/end time to get the proper date aligned with the StartTime which then gets interpreted correctly by iCal.
I hope it's getting clear what I'm trying to do.
I was in the opinion there must be a way as Windows Excel can do it.
The only alternative I found so far is to change the cell formatting into text and edit the cell manually which is okay for one or two entries ...
Cheers
Martin

How can I create an installer for my project that can work on 32-bit Windows if I have 64-bit Windows Vista?

Hi,
I made a LabVIEW project that works perfectly and made an installer for it. I tested the installer on my own computer and everything worked well. The goal for my installer was to put it on multiple computers. So I tried to do this on another computer that has Vista 32-bit and it told me that the installer can only run on 64-bit computers. I tried to choose to install run-time 32bit and it did not change anything, there was still a message to tell me that this installer only can be ran on 64-bit computers. How can I make an installer that works on 32-bit computers?
Thank you.
Solved!

The code will have to recompile, but yes it should work. I recommend making a backup before proceeding just in case.

How can I create 802.1x profile if my ISP doesn't provide one to me?

I couldn't connect to my ISP
ISP uses authentication with MD5. I tried to configure it from Network - Ethernet - Advanced - 802.1x but itturned out, that I couldn't add new profile there.
My ISP says, that they doesn't provide any .mobileconfig files.
How can I make my network work? Where and how to make .mobileconfig file?
File, that I made in iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't work for me, because system says it couldn't be added as a profile.

If your ISP is using MD5, I suggest you find another ISP.
The security of MD5 hash algorithm has been declared to be severely compromised for some time now. I didn't think anyone was still using it.

How can I remove an icon from my desktop that doesn't want to go?

I was unsuccessful in installing a particular program, so I thought I would just "wipe the slate clean" and try again. Unfortunately, the icon on my desktop doesn't want to go. Every time I try to move it into the TRASH, a note on the screen says, "The icon "iScrobbler" cannot be moved to the trash because it is open".
I've turned the computer off and on again, and I've tried the DELETE button, but the icon remains on my desktop. How can I remove it?

There can be many reasons why a file "doesn't want"
something. But you may be able to replace the file if
you can rename it. Follow the steps here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107426
If that doesn't help, you may need to delete it using
root user privileges. That's a very advanced and
risky method so you should consult with someone who
is experienced with that process. I have done it many
times to delete goofed files that have a mind of
their own.
It didn't work, I'm sorry to say, but thanks for the idea. As to the "root user privileges" method, I wouldn't even consider it. My computer "skills" are definitely not at the level for trying anything that could be described in those terms. Still, there is hope. I found the creator of the program and sent him an e-mail message this morning.
Finally, I'd like to thank you again for your extraordinary performance. Talk about "service above and beyond.." well, that certainly describes you. I somehow feel that if you couldn't...no, no, let's not say that, let's just hope that the program's creator will be able to help. Thanks again for what you have done.

How can I get a refund for an app that doesn't work?

I just purchased "DVDRipper Pro 3.2.19. However, it just doesn't work. I was unable to get contact with the developer website to ask for support. Could anyone tell how can I get refund from App Store. Thanks.

Refunds on downloaded software are virtually nonexistent.
I have had cases where I purchase software on a physical disk. If I don't like the software I can uninstall it from my computer and sell it legally. Recouping most of my loss.

How can I get around recovering a data file that doesn't need to be??

Sorry I am opening a new thread, but this is the biggest emergency of my 20+ year career.
Oracle 11g
1) redo logs were deleted
2) We don't do backups of the database. It is only used to demo our product, it is not a prod database
3) To get around the problem of the redo logs (which caused Oracle not able to start) I rebuilt the control file with the RESETLOGS option on
Now, when I try to start the database and open it with alter database open resetlogs; I get this:
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf'
I don't understand why it wants this and I have no idea to get around it. I don't know what to recover FROM as I already said there are no backups. But why should I have to recover anything, there never was any data loss, only the redo logs were deleted. Why can't I just tell Oracle to forget the recovery, the data files are fine?

Yeah, it was a waste of effort to rebuild your control file. Oracle needs the redologs to perform instance recovery prior to opening the database. That doesn't change just because the control file is rebuilt.
But you unfortunately don't have the necessary redo log file and no database backup. That means you are in real danger of losing your database completely. If you have a current support contract, you need to open a Service Request with Oracle support to see if you can salvage your database.
As P. Forstmann indicates, there is an undocumented way to try to open a database that is missing needed redo log data. But trying and failing may leave you worse off than you are right now. So contacting Oracle support for guidance is the right approach.

How can I create a new format in pages?

Basically this comes from trying to change the vertical indentation on pages. (Like you can change the horizontal, you know? I just wanted to make the text field smaller on all sides. Incidentally, if you know how to do a vertical indentation change, I'd be all ears.)
Anyway, apparently you can't do that, so....
I've got a set up that I want (two text boxes linked so that text spills over to the next) but I want this to be on every succeeding page without having to create the page all over again with new text boxes.
Is there any way to .... I don't know .... "automate" might be the right word, this first page set up so that it's automatic when my text fills the two boxes?
Help?
Thanks,
R

Two separate questions.
1. "Vertical indentation"
Word processing document: Set the Document's top margin to a larger number. Highest I tried was 8" on a US Letter sized page, giving a 3" band for text. Graphic objects placed outside (above) this margin do appear on the display and on a Preview of the print, but I didn't check if they make it through to the printed page.
Or use a borderless, colourless shape with default Wrap properties to fill the space where you do not want text to appear.
Page Layout: All text is in Text boxes. Size and position of each box may be set as you wish.
2.Linking Text boxes
Word processing document: Text boxes are independent objects if they have not been created as linked. You can add more linked boxes to a chain of linked boxes, but they will not reproduce themselves. New pages are added as text fills the base text area of the page, but the only objects appearing on the new page are those that have been set as Master Objects. These are not useful in your case, as the Master objects are exact copies (including content) of the original.
Page Layout document: If you Capture a page containing a pair of linked text boxes, that page becomes available in the menu of the Pages button in the Toolbar. The two boxes on a new pages will be linked to each other, but not to the original pair. To join the new boxes to the chain, click on the last box in the chain, then click on the first new box. The link will be added, and any excess text will flow into the new box(es).
NOTE: Not thoroughly explored. Do some experimenting.

How can i create a photobook with a layout that respect standard photo format?

I used iphoto to create a photobook but there is serious problem, i can use only fixed layout and this layouts are problems.
I can't put my shoot in standard photographic format, so i need to zoom and move my photo to fit well in your fixed layout.
I can't change the composition of all my shoots to fit in wrong layout.
There is a way to disable layout and put manually the photo in original format on pages?
Thank you
Mario Aprea

iPhoto books can only be created using the fixed templetes supplied - you can not modify them
I have no idea what a "standard Photographic Format is" - neither I nor Google knows that that is
So I do not understand what you want to do
One possible suggestion is that in a book you can right click on a photo (in most temes) and use the fit to frame option to show an entire photo that is in the wrong dimensions

How can i create a printable format with Java

Hello....
First, my english is not good, but this is possibly my last hope!! I have a program with EJB's, JBoos and a MySql database! The program shows the data from the database and you can do something with these data. Now my problem to print this data. I want create a formular which will be print! I've treid ut with docbook and the javax.print library.
The first problem is: with linux docbook works very fine. I transform the sgml-file in many formats with "db2pdf or db2ps......"
but the javax.print library don't find any printservice! I've J2EE 1.4.1 where the bug canceld from the earlier version!
So the next problem is: with windows the javax.print library works fine! I find the printservices and can print *.ps or *.pdf! But i can't transform the sgml-file in Postscipt or PDF!
I've tried to solve this problem for two weeks now, but without any success.
Now my Question is: have somebody experiences with this problem and can help me or is there another possibility to solve my problem!!!
Thanks

How can I create a form with a button that adds a new page of fields to fill out?

Hi,
I have a one-page form created in Acrobat Pro 9 that contains five fields for a user to complete. I'd like to give the user the option of adding a page with the same five fields to fill out. The user finishes those fields, presses an "Add a Page" button, and then gets another page to fill out, and so on. When finished, their PDF form might be 10 pages long, at which point the user can save it as a single PDF file. Is this possible to do in Acrobat Pro 9 or 10, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Andrew

When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".
// Here is the code
function PackagingArtwork()
{this.createTemplate({cName: "PackagingArtwork", nPage: 5});
// Here the code that spawns the template
var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
          var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
          PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);
This is what the JS debugger said.

How can I create a buffer, array or pipeline that stores the last 5000 dates of a voltage measurement with PCI6036 & SCXI1104C and continously drops the last date and inserts the latest date (scanrate 200 or 2000Hz)?

I develope a porgramm for continious monitoring. If the voltage of a channel exceeds or is lower than the upper or lower limit of tolerance the actual date must be stored and additionally the dates being stored 10sec before and after this event. Can somebody give some advice how to create the buffer to keep the dates 10s before the error event? Thank U.

I've written you a quick array buffer vi. I'm not sure if it'll be fast enough though.. Try it and see! I've used the loop numbers in my array, but i'm sure you can feed in the dates instead.
