How to format a number datatype

I had a report which uses a text field. In that text field included is a placeholder column that represents a datatype of number as &<CP_CAPITAL_BALANCE>. When I run it displays as:
Capital Balance of 3423548.00 as of ...
It should be formated into 3,423,548.00
Thanks,
Warren

Hi,
you can choose your desired number format by setting the "Format Mask" property of you text field (e.g. NNNGNNNGNNNGNN0D00).
N = not mandatory digit
0 = mandatory digit (in this way you always have two decimal digits)
G = group separator
D = decimal separator
Hope this helps you
Bye

How to Format a number to support multiple languages

I am trying to format a number so that it shows up with the corret decimal separators and thousands separators for different regions/languages, but can't seem to.
123456.223 is 123,456.223 (US English) and 123 456,223 in French (France)
I don't know how many such regional settings are being used and what the decimal and thousands separators are.
If you set the Format to 'System Default Number Format', all is well (But I have to live with 2 digits after the decimal). However, if I want to customize it by saying choosing one of the preset formats or using 'Customize'(say 3 digits after the decimal, for example), then, if I am designing the report in US English setting, the separators from that setting are used, even when the report is generated in French locale. Even if I try to put in a condition for these separators and use 'DefaultAttribute', it doesn't seem to help.
One workaround is to format the number as a string and display the string instead (this time use ToText() function and provide the no. of decimal places needed). But I have aggregations based on this field and they don't work in with string fields.
Could someone advise me if there is a way to solve this problem? (I'm hoping that there is some way, perhaps an easy one to overcome this problem.) It seems anytime I want to change the default setting, the current values are stored and used irrespective of the reigonal setting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Raghu

Use the default settings and then it should format according to the local PC settings.

How to format a number to "+0000000000.123,45"

Hi! my name is Jorge. My problem is that I need to format a number to a extrange format. I know how to change the decimal point, the number of integer and fraction, etc.
But the problem is I want the number with N zeros at the begining but only with decimal point if there are digit. And I need the sign always appear, if it is a minus or a plus.
For example:
123,456.789 -> +0000000000123,456.789
-1,234,567.890 -> -00000000001,234,567.890
It is possible using a pattern. There is someone who show me how, because I can't find it the rigth pattern.
Thank you very much,
Jorge.

Here play with this - you'll need to tidy it up a bit for numbers under a 1000 or a million - maybe a parseInt function // * here would do it - Anyway, its a start. I've written it in a drag 'n' drop style so you can test and play first beofre applying it. Thats what I usually do - though I seem to recall java programmers think that 'drag-n-drop' is a dirty term - NO OFFENCE GUYS _ I'M NEW !!!
import java.text.*;
public class Decimal_Fmt {
public static void main (String []args) {
double d = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat("#0"+","+"000"+","+"000.0#####");
// * Possibly add a function call here ? *
String d_str = fmt.format(d);
System.out.println("DecimalFormat: "+d_str);

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.

IR - 9.2 - how to format a number to a textfield in dashboard

Hello,
i am going to develop an individual Dashboard with free positionung textfields, almost all works, but how can i formatting the numbers?
here the script:
var Ausfall=ActiveDocument.Sections["Ergebnisse"].Columns["Ausfall"].GetCell(1);
var AB=ActiveDocument.Sections["Ergebnisse"].Columns["A B"].GetCell(1);
var ABprozw=AB/Ausfall;
AnzeigeABProz.Text=ABprozw; /* is a free positioning textfield in dashboard */
in the dashboard ist the value shown as
0.7793775542282301
but how can i get a number format as:
0,78
or
78,9%
are there any convert/formating function (to dashboard-textfields) in IR ?
mfg
Jens Rohloff

If you want the Percent signt o show up then you will need to treat the number as a string.
Another option
var ABprozw=AB/Ausfall * 100;
var ABprozw = Math.round(ABprozw)
var ABprozw = ABprozw/100
This will give you tne 0.78

How to format a number ?

Hi
I have some numbers: 0,3,24,118
And I want to print them with a 3-digit format: 000,003,024,118
How do I do this ?
Thanks

There's a NumberFormat class, but this method will do:String format (int i) {
    String str = Integer.toString (i);
    while (str.length () < 3) {
        str = "0" + str;
    return str;
}Kind regards,

How to format page number layout in TOC

I am using the automatic TOC function in Pages to make a table of contents for my thesis. It looked great at first, but when I changed the page margins all the of the page numbers moved to be next to the text section headers and in some cases, bumped down to the next line. I can't seem to change this so that all the page numbers are right-justified as they were when the TOC was originally generated. I've tried removing the TOC and starting from scratch, but I still have the same problem. Just to clarify: I have set "styles" to control the text formatting and indentation for each TOC level. My question is how to designate the proper margins and orientation for the automatically-generated page numbers. Any insight would be appreciated.

Never mind! I found the solution here:

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.

Hi there,
The post about "Convert Numbers" might help in your case. You might also interested in "Anydata cast" or transformations.

How to format 9 or 11 digit number with dashes

Windows Adobe Pro 9.
Someone please be kind and have mercy on me, I've researched this issue for 5 hours now and cannot resolve it on my own.
I have a text field where the user will enter either a 9 digit or 11 digit number separated with dashes. If the number entered is 9 digits, it should appear as
XX-XXXXXXX. If 11 digits, it should appear as XX-XXXXXXX-XX. If only 9 digits are entered, the -XX at the end must be omitted.
I found a javascript that showed how to allow a varying number of digits, and I also found one that showed how to cause the dash to be entered, but I'm not smart enough to know how to combine the two. I've only used one other javascript before (how to format the time 12:00 am, with a gigantic thanks to Mr. George Johnson), so I know that I must put the script in "Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts." I think then I would go into the text field format and select "custom," and enter a keystroke and format script???
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
alice

Hi Mr. Johnson,
When I copied the first part of the code into the document-level javascript editor box and hit okay, it gives this message:
SyntaxError: return not in function
8: at line 9
and the cursor moves to the empty line after:
// Do nothing if field is blank
if (!s) return;
Is there something missing?
I really appreciate your help.
