How convert number field (floating) to text

I have this field number. When I use function Cstr or ToText, alway display on reporte on floating format. Ex. 5e+018. How I do display real number 512121221458478514.

Hi,
I had a similar issue before. So i discussed that in the same forum, Here is the conclusion i got.
Crystal reports is built with C++ and the numeric field type used is limited to 15 digits plus 1 for the sign of the number.
Only option is to use a stored procedure and break that field into 2 parts and put them back together in a text object by
dropping the fields in next to each other.
And here is the LInk: Decimal Value is not displaying properly.

Salah

  • 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!

    >
    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.

  • Editing a PDF form- How to link fields in a text

    I am trying to create a basic form for a medical practice which has various sections [e.g "history of presenting illness"] that have several lines of text each. When I try and create the form and write on the previewed highlighted fields, my cursor continuously stays on the line/field until the end and never returns to the next line/field below it. Instead it seems only to decrease the size of the font. How do I link the fields in a section of text?

    You create a multiline field and then let it wrap. Your approach is wrong. If you insist on having separate entry lines, basically having a separate field for each line, then you might be able to do it with JavaScript. However separate fields for each line is not very consistent such a form.
    Be careful about how you submit such a form with patient data. I assume you are just planning on saving it to a file and not submitting. The submission to an e-mail is not secure and thus not appropriate for such data. Also, you really only need to save the data for most uses other than viewing, and so saving as the data as FDF or XML (if Designer is used) is probably more appropriate to the application.

  • Convert number field to nvarchar2

    How??? I tried using the to_char and convert functions but I keep getting a 'character set mismatch'...

    Try using the "TRANSLATE ... USING" It converts text into the character set specified for conversions between the database character set and the national character set.
    The text argument is the expression to be converted.
    Specifying the USING CHAR_CS argument converts text into the database character set. The output datatype is VARCHAR2.
    Specifying the USING NCHAR_CS argument converts text into the national character set. The output datatype is NVARCHAR2.
    This function is similar to the Oracle CONVERT function, but must be used instead of CONVERT if either the input or the output datatype is being used as NCHAR or NVARCHAR2.
    Example
    The examples below use the following table and table values:
    CREATE TABLE t1 (char_col CHAR(20),
    nchar_col nchar(20));
    INSERT INTO t1
    VALUES ('Hi', N'Bye');
    SELECT * FROM t1;
    CHAR_COL NCHAR_COL
    Hi Bye
    UPDATE t1 SET
    nchar_col = TRANSLATE(char_col USING NCHAR_CS);
    UPDATE t1 SET
    char_col = TRANSLATE(nchar_col USING CHAR_CS);
    SELECT * FROM t1;
    CHAR_COL NCHAR_COL

  • In fact it's about mac:excel, how convert in a cell a number written in text format into a value?

    cheers francois

    Hi francois,
    If I copyone of them and do a past special/value, it does not work.
    Try just Paste instead of Paste Special > Value
    I know your question is about Excel, but this works in Numbers:
    Copy 1 234 567 (with spaces) and Paste (not Paste Special) into a Cell in a Numbers Table. The result is 1234567 and it behaves as a number. A formula will consider it to be a number:
    You asked Wayne: what do you mean by "to reference a cell" ??
    The reference is from Cell A2 to Cell A1 through a formula, such as: =A1+1

  • How can I embed a text field inside a text object in a fillable form?

    I am a new user of LiveCycle and am slowly figuring things out.  I don't really understand any of the scripts-- thatlevel is way beyod me.  I am hoping that someone can tell me an easy way to insert a fillable text field into a text object.  I have been assigned a huge project of converting some very old Word forms into fillable PDF forms.  I have done okay with many of them, but ran into a snag with some of the form letters that our employees need to fill out.  Basically, there is a block of text (the body of the letter) in which employees will need to be able to type in a date that the recipient of the letter must respond by.  I have read up on floating fields and thought that was the solution to my problem, but it seems that floating fields are really just meant to be filled from a data source rather than having info typed into them.
    Can anyone help-- I am desperate at this point. There has to be an easy way to insert a fillable text field object or a Date/Time object into a block of text so that the surrounding text will expand and contract around the length of the date entered (this is important, as many of these letters pertain to legal matters and cannot have blank spaces in them).

    Hi,
    You can split your text object into different parts and place text fields inbetween the parts. With a little manuvering, you can make it look good.
    An alternative is to place text field(s) outside the letter body (and set the visibilaty to screen only). Use these to populate the floating field.
    or
    script the external text fields (or the subform containing them) to be "hidden" using the "Preprint" event, then revealing them ("visible") again using the "Postprint" event.
    Hope this helps, good luck!

  • How to Create a Auto Generated number with some preceding text in Sharepoint 2010

    I am trying to create a auto generated number field in Sharepoint 2010 list item. My requirement is to have the following format number generated when new request is created in Sharepoint using form. Auto generated Ticket ID should be in the following format
    "IR13000" "IR13001" "IR13002"....... Please let me know how to get this done. I tried to use combination of default ID and Characters but its not working for new requests, its only reflecting for existing uploaded requests. I
    am trying this for taking up Ticket requests by filling up some fields in the form. Any quick help is much appreciated.
    Thanx

    Here are the steps:
    1 - Open your SharePoint site in SP Designer 2010.
    2 - Click Workflows and add a List workflow. Associate this workflow on the list where you want the Random Text to be generated.
    3 - Inside the workflow editor, select the Action "Update list item"
    4 -  Select 'Current Item'.
    5 - Click Add.. and select the field which needs to be updated with the Random Text. Make sure this column is not of type "Calculated" type, otherwise you won't see it in the list of the fields within the workflow.
    6 - Click "..." button in the next textbox which will open String Builder dialog box.
    7 - Type IR and then click 'Add or Change Lookup and select ID column from "Field from source". Hit OK.
    8 - It should look like IR[%Current Item:ID%]
    9 - Hit OK.
    10 - Save and publish the workflow. (Please note that currently this workflow is not set to auto run on creating new items. That's because we want to test it at this point of time).
    11 - Go to your list in SharePoint and create a new item. After creating, select the item and click Workflows and then run this workflow.
    12 - You should be able to see the text "IR1" in the designated column.
    13 - Once you see that it's working, go to SPD and set the workflow to run automatically on creation of the new item. Save and publish and then return to your list in SharePoint.
    14 - Create a new item there and you should see the Random value in the column.
    15 - You will also see the column in the New form. In order to remove it, go to List settings > content types > Item content type > and select Hidden for this column so that it doesn't showup in any form.
    Try it and let me know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

  • Left justify text in number field

    Hi,
    I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to display the text (returned from a loop) in a number field
    so that it is left justified - also where would it have to be set?
    The 'justification' setting when set to 'Left' doesn't achieve this.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Tom

    First i dont think so in Number field u can set TEXT
    Create a field with CHAR type and u can put alpha numeric text in it
    set the justification Property of Text item to Start or Left

  • Web app Number field: How to format a number as currency in Business catalyst

    Not a coder. I have a Number field I have created in my web app, please how can I format this field to display the figures like this 999,999,999,999 (#120,000,000) random figure. Help will be appreciated.

    You can't. Number type field is there for storing integers. 999,999,999,999
    is not an integer. You need to use text string. Unless you're using the
    field inside the search form, in which case you need to use JavaScript to
    format the content of the field on the frontend.

  • How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

    How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
    This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
    I have seen private individuals offering this service
    It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.
    Steve

    I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

  • How to prevent a number field from getting summed?

    I want to display the # of clients per a certain ID number. (In order to show the duplicate records by setting a filter in the # of clients field). However, this works if the ID number is a text field... but it doesn't work if the ID number is a metric of client... or number. It gets summed up, I get the total, and the % of clients turns to be 1.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Example:
    I have 3 clients:
    Column A
    55
    55
    44
    21
    I want the following output:
    55 | 2
    I get the desired result by adding a second column (# of clients) and creating a filter to get results only if the value is > 2.
    The problem is when "Column A" is a number field. If it is a number field, I get total sum of the records (55+55+44+21) and a value of "1" if I add the # of clients column.
    Is it clearer now? ideas?

  • How can I detect a certain text within a field within CASE using IF

    Dear all,
    for a transformation / generation of values receiving from R/3 into BW I try to
    manupulate three fields. I have a problem detecting a string in a field.
    I am using a CASE with several WHEN clauses on one field. Depending on the

    a certain string. E.g. IF STRING CP 'xyz' OR 'abc'.
    System gives error for the locigal expression. I also tried CS, but same error.
    How can I detect a certain text within a field and which is the right logical
    expression.
    Many thanks in advance!!!
