How to display a percentage sign in calculated member column?

Hello all,
in my report I have a calculated member column whose value is determined by follwing value formula:
if CurrentColumnIndex - 2 = 1 then
        If GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then
        0
        else
        (GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/
        GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-3, CurrentSummaryIndex)) * 100
    else
        If GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-5, CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then
        0
        else
        (GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/
        GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex-5, CurrentSummaryIndex))*100
Returned is a numeric value and it is being correctly displayed in calculated member column. As the value should represent percentage, I need to display a % sign after every value.
How would I achieve this? I have seen a thread here in the discussion where approach with a formula and DisplayString function is mentioned - but there are no details how this could be achieved....
The crosstab in question looks like this:
Calculated Member is based on "REV_TOTAL" group column.
I also attached the .rpt file (renamed to .txt for upload)
Many thanks in advance,
Marin

Hello Raghavendra,
thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately it is not as easy at it seems - calculated member column is not showing in report designer and I can not apply the suggested approach with formatting toolbar...
The column only shows here (right click on table -> "Advanced Calculations" -> "Calculated Member...") and there is no possibility to format it directly:
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks,
Marin

How to display a percentage sign ( % ) after a text box in a screen

hi experts,
Can anybody tell me how to display a percentage sign ( % ) after a text box in a screen.

Hi Ajay,
Try to use the [Position|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/9f/dba7e235c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm] option of selection screen.
By using this you can place the text as a comment at a desired position on the selection screen.
The syntax would be like this :
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION <pos>.

How to Display the Percentage (%) Sign in Planning Form..???

I know it's an obvious one but has caught me once or twice before when I've changed many properties numerous times in one day: Make sure you've deployed since you last set the properties!

How to escape a percentage sign

I have a simple one line MySQL command that I want to run from AppleScript.
The command itself is
UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE "% DATE %" ;
Unfortunately, every time I run it I get some error or improper result.
I've tried escaping out the quotes and percentage sign with a backslash, using "quoted form of" statements, parsing out individual words and using "quote" operators, using curly quotes, and even substituting "ASCII character 37" or "character id 37" for my percent symbol. Most often I get backslashes before my quotes. Here is a recent example.
Code:
set part1 to "UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE "
set part2 to " DATE "
set part3 to " ;"
set convertDate to part1 & quote & (ASCII character 37) & part2 & (ASCII character 37) & quote & part3
return convertDate
Result:
"UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE \"% DATE %\" ;"
I know I can always call a 1 line shell script, but I hope there is a simple solution.

Quote-Mania
mabye this example helps:
do shell script "echo UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE \"% DATE %\" >~/Desktop/testoutput.txt"
do shell script "echo UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE \\\"% DATE %\\\" >>~/Desktop/testoutput.txt"
the result in Skript-Editor looks like
"UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE % DATE %
UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE \"% DATE %\""
when you open that text file now you will see
UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE % DATE %
UPDATE exif SET datevalue = tagvalue WHERE tagname LIKE "% DATE %"
Just keep in mind, that the result of a script could be directly inserted into another script, so the output will be quoted if needed to make this possible.

How to display special characters in APEX Classic Report column

Ref: Thread: How to display newline characters as new lines
Version: APEX 3.2
Hi,
I have created an classic SQL Report with one of the columns being a decode that gives a value 'Post'(the value should be highlighted in Red) on one condition and 'Pre' on another. I have followed the advice given in the page (URL provided above) , i.e. I have changed Strip HTML to 'No', changed Display as to 'Display as text (escape special characters, does not save state)'. I have also passed this value back to the same page to be stored in a page item each time a link (another column in report) in report is clicked. I have tried passing it as #DEADLINE# and \#DEADLINE#\. The issue I face is, instead of the value being highlighted in Red, it gets passed back as a string holding the value 'Post'. Is there any way I can get this to display as it should without the Strip HTML being changed to 'Yes'.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am trying to display a page item that is derived from a report column based on a click on the URL link (*view >*>)
This page item (here, it is Manager_ID) should ideally be highlighted when a particular condition is satisfied (achieved using a DECODE in the report).
But it is not displayed like it should be.
I do not want the value to be displayed along with the html tags as a string.
I want the html tags to take effect and highlight the value within it.
Initially, I had set Strip HTML to Yes and the value was returned without any highlighting .
So I changed it to 'No' and and it contained the html tags.
I am not sure what setting in APEX Report Attributes can help me achieve that effect I want.None of the report settings are relevant. They affect the rendering of the report and none of the columns you were changing the properties of were actually rendered.
You can't pass HTML and CSS around in URL parameters.
I suggest you pass *2* values in the column link: the MGR ID and a simple class or colour value computed by the DECODE in the report. I've suppressed the first version of the report and created a new one that does this:
decode(dept.deptno, '30', 'c00', '000') highlight The link column now passes the MGR ID and the HIGHLIGHT colour (red when the condition is satisfied and black when it is not).
I created another hidden and protected page item <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> as the target for the highlight value, and used the Pre/Post Element Text properties of the <tt>P0_G_MGR</tt> to wrap it in a <tt>span</tt> whose colour is changed using the <tt>P0_HIGHLIGHT</tt> value as a subtitution string:
<span style="color: #&P0_HIGHLIGHT.;">Having done that, I still don't really get the requirement here. I'm sure that given the full picture I'd be using a completely different approach...

Display a percentage sign in a Query formula

Hi Gurus. I have a question.
I created a Query that contains local fields. One of them is the division of Field A into Field B. The result is supposed to be a percentage value.
My question is, how can I display the '%' icon at the end of the field, so it is displayed as a true percentage field? Right now I'm only showing numbers.
Can this be done directly on the Complex calculation of the field? Or this is added somewhere else?
Please advice.

Simple way is
make the filed description as "% of some thing"
One more way is use a field which has a data type DEC which supports the % (you see the data type used in KKB_PROZABW). I think it is deficlut task.

Need to display a percentage sign '%' in the query field

hi all
I know that this might be very simple..
but it has bugged me for a while now..
i need to display ''%" in a particular field alongwith the number in the query for
1. when field is having a percentage calc of two KF.
2. when field is a mixed containing amount type KF & i need to display it only for certain records not all .
Please help me.
best regards,
ramesh

1 - if you are using a percentage function in a CKF/Formula, it should by default come with a % sign in your report.
2 - You can't mix and match (have '%' only for some rows) unless you want to use some vb macro or table interface class to do it.
For any number that is a percentage but doesn't appear with %, you can always create another CKF ( = 100 % ckf_minus_perc ), or a variant of it and that should get you the same value with a % sign.

How to add a PERCENTAGE sign to the formula

I was using %A in a fomula to calculate variance %age.
Because %A is based on absolute value that eliminates the sign it wont work for us.
I am planning to do direct calculation without %A to calculate pecent varaince but then I lose the % sign from the cell.
I am sure you can help.
I need to calculate %age and then also display % sign in the cell. For example the cell should show 20.00 % not just 20.00.
If I get a prompt reply not only I will be thankful will also give full credit.

Hi Ram,
you can display the % sign in the query report
In the formula select , instead of using percantage share , I think you can use either try with (%CT) or (%GT) and this will be available in percantage functions
I have done for one my report and able to display % sign.
kindly try with the above options if not able to achieve then let me know, I will provide the step by step doc.
thanks

How to display 0 Percentage in BEx Query Designer

The BEx queries which I'm doing are ported to EP & client views all charts & data in portal only.
I have a small requirement. My client requires to display 0% in the data output.
Sample data is like
Mon/Grade     A | B | C | D | E | F             " These are headings
April                |     |    | 3 | 5 | 4 | |           " These are data I got in BEx
Required O/p
Mon/Grade     A | B | C | D | E | F                  " These are headings
April                |   0 | 0   | 3 | 5 | 4 | 0 |           " These are data I got in BEx
My current formula is like
> NODIV0( ( TEST1 * 12) %A TEST2 )
What changes must I make so that 0% is displayed in the O/p? Please let me know earliest.
P.S . The values TEST1 and TEST2 are 'Selections', which holds no data for those displaying values.

Hi Kavitha,
The problem is I'm viewing the data in Web based BEX & not in BEX Analyser. So only.
>           GROUP E GROUP D2 GROUP D1 GROUP C2
>APR              6.0      46.0
>MAY %           14.3      48.0      11.4      16.9
>JUN %             11.6      16.2
As you can see there's no data for the months-grade (Apr-GroupD1 etc).. Now, how to view it in portal with 0s for all the ones with no data?

How to display both " " and " " sign in report

Hello,
I have a query returns a report which has a field that contains both less than and greater than "<" ">" symbols. For example,
select
columnA||' {less than sign}'||columnB||'{greater than sign}' columnAlias
from tableA;The problem is that the report only display the value of columnA while columnB is ignored. My guess is that the "<"">" is the opening and closing brackets used in HTML, so when generating the report the text between the "<" and ">" are treated as a HTML tag.
Therefore, my question is: Is there a way to bypass it and display the value of the signs and field correctly?
Thanks in advance!

Apply the <tt>htf.escape_sc()</tt> function to the query output:
select htf.escape_sc(columnA || '<' || columnB || '>') columnAlias
from tableA;(Tip: use the HTML character entities *&lt;* and *&gt;* to display "<" and ">" on the OTN forums.)

How to display a Sum field for a formula column?

Hi,
I need to display a sum for a formula column at the end of report. for example: my formu_col=col_1-col_2
col_1 col_2 formu_col
3 1 2
6 5 1
total:sum(col_1) sum(col_2) sum(formu_col)
now i have sum(col_1) and sum(col_2), but i don't have sum(formu_col)
thanks

Hi
You may add a summary column in the same data group that you have sum(col_1) and sum(col_2). In that properties of the new column point the source as formu_col.
Hope this helps.

How to display the sorting arrows in the table column header

Hi
I am doing a sorting for some columns from the click of the table column headers, In Developer studio, we are able to view the up and down arrows, I need that also to be made visible at run time, so that the user knows that there exists sorting based on that particular column. Is there any other way of doing it ? I cant place more than one control on the header or wrap the text to two lines..also. please clarify. thanks

I assume you are using NW 04.
The table column header contains a IWDCaption element which may display an icon and a text. See property IWDCaption.imageSource.
The table tutorial might also be helpful.

How can I add decimals to my calculator? Percentages as well?

I am building a simple calculator app. I have implemented my calculator this way: I have the viewcontroller.h and .m, I also have my "CalculatorBrain.h and .m" That is where I implement the addition and substraction, multiplication. I use the symbol or the text of the button to read it and calculate the value. The question is, if I have 1.5 plus 1.5, it says the answer is 2. It only takes the 1 and the 1. How do I add decimals? Also, if possible, how would I do percentages?
This is my Calculator Brain.m:
#import "CalculatorBrain.h"
const NSString *Delete = @"D";
@implementation CalculatorBrain
- (void)setOperand:(double)anDouble
    operand = anDouble;
- (void)performWaitingOperation
    if ([@"+" isEqual:waitingOperation]) {
        operand = waitingOperand + operand;
    } else if ([@"-" isEqual:waitingOperation]) {
        operand = waitingOperand - operand;
    } else if ([@"×" isEqual:waitingOperation]) {
        operand = waitingOperand * operand;
    } else if ([@"÷" isEqual:waitingOperation]) {
        if (operand) {
        operand = waitingOperand / operand;
- (double)performOperation:(NSString *)operation;
    if ([operation isEqual:@"√"]) {
        operand = sqrt(operand);
    } else {
        [self performWaitingOperation];
        waitingOperation = operation;
        waitingOperand = operand;
    return operand;
@end
And this is my View Controller.m. Any suggestions?:
#import "CalculatorViewController.h"
@implementation CalculatorViewController
- (CalculatorBrain *)brain
    if (!brain) {
        brain= [[CalculatorBrain alloc] init];
    return brain;
- (IBAction)digitPressed:(UIButton *)sender;

    } else {
        [display setText:digit];
        userIsInTheMiddleOfTypingANumber = YES;
- (IBAction)operationPressed:(UIButton *)sender;
    if (userIsInTheMiddleOfTypingANumber) {
        [[self brain] setOperand:[[display text] doubleValue]];
        userIsInTheMiddleOfTypingANumber = NO;
    NSString *operation = [[sender titleLabel] text];
    double result = [[self brain] performOperation:operation];
    [display setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%g", result]];
- (void) runTimer;
    // This starts the timer which fires the showActivity
    // method every 0.5 seconds
    myTicker = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval: 0.5
                                                target: self
                                              selector: @selector(showActivity)
                                              userInfo: nil
                                               repeats: YES];
- (void)showActivity;
    NSDateFormatter *formatter =
    [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
    // This will produce a time that looks like "12:15:00 PM".
    [formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
    // This sets the label with the updated time.
    [clockLabel setText:[formatter stringFromDate:date]];
// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional
// setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

- (IBAction)resetEverythingPressed:(UIButton *)sender;
    if (userIsInTheMiddleOfTypingANumber) {
        [[self brain] setOperand:[[display text] doubleValue]];
        userIsInTheMiddleOfTypingANumber = NO;
    NSString *operation = [[sender titleLabel] text];
    double result = [[self brain] performOperation:operation];
    [display setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"0", result]];
@end
Oh, by the way, it tells the time. And if you want a screenshot, so you can see how it works out...

For percentages, first make sure the number is < 0, then multiply it by 100, add a % sign and you're done
        double displayValue = [display.text doubleValue];
        if(displayValue < 0)
            displayValue *= 100;
            [display setText:[@"%" stringByAppendingFormat:@"%g", displayValue]];
