How to override the NUMBER format in BEX?

Hi,
I want to override the number formats in BEX queries (Excel).
In the Query Designer -> Query Properties -> Value Display,
or in 3.x: Query Properties -> Display -> Number Format,
the setting "Display of +/- Signs" affects how the numeric values in Excel will be displayed. This setting seems to take effect after everything else is done.
I can change any cell formatting (pattern, border, color, etc.) except the number format. I have tried redefining Styles, assign different styles to the Result Area, setting up a default template, even Visual Basic (Sub SAPBEXonRefresh), nothing works, my settings always get overwritten by the query setting.
For example:
I am trying to assign the Number Format "Accounting", with a "$" sign in the far left of the fields, to the amounts in my workbook.
It should look like this: "$     (123,456.00)"
The results: my settings are replaced by the format "Currency" with the "$" sign.
"    ($123,456.00)"
It must be due to that number format setting in the query designer.
I was hoping the number format setting in the query designer could be switched off. But apparently it is not possible. Not even the "Adjust Formatting after Refreshing" setting affects this behavior. It always takes effect.
Does anyone have any idea what could be done about it?
Thank you,
Vince

OK, I think I have just found the answer to my own question...
I had done something in the VB editor that created this whole problem. Now it is fixed and works as it should.
Thanks anyway.

  • Problem with the number format in the graph axis with Report Generation Toolkit.

    Hi!
    I'm trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit to plot some graphs in Excel.
    My first problem is that I don't know how to configure the number format in the Excel Set Graph Font.vi so that my numbers are correctly displayed in the graph's axis. The only given option is general (0,0) but this is not enough for me, my numbers can get really small so I need engineering notation or fraccional format.
    Second: I also insert a table with the graph source data, but the numbers are not correctly displayed either: for example: 
    0,75 is shown as: 
    0,750000
    but 1,25  is shown as: 
    1!250!000
    My guess is I am making to much or wrong string to number conversions or Excel is getting it wrong but I can't find my way...
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thanks,
    Isabel

    Here is my VI, it's just a trial so it can look messy...
    Thanks,

  • How to increase the number of rows to be displayed in BEx Web Analyzer

    hi,
    I am viewing reports using BEx Web analyzer option. It is displaying only 24 rows  of data at a time. How to increase the number of rows? do i need to any kind of settings?
    pls reply.

    Hi,
    I think the standard template in 2004s is named 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN. You can find it in Web Application Designer, open, and search for the technical name. If you want to change the number of rows or columns, you can find this setting near the bottom of the XHTML view of the template:
    <bi:BLOCK_COLUMNS_SIZE value="4" />
    <bi:BLOCK_ROWS_SIZE value="17" />
    Then just save, and ignore the error messages.

  • How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements. 
    I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
    aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers.  We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
    the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried  creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue.  The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
    the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?  
    If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
    Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
    Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
    Option 1:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Display the ruler.
    - Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
    - Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
    Option 2:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
    - Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
    - Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
    - Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
    - Click Set.
    - Click OK.
    You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

  • How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

    Hi,
    I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
    I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
    How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
    - Sen.

    1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
    2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).
    Regards,

  • How to get the number of messages consumed by a MDB ??

    Hi all,
    How to get the number of messages consumed by a MDB displayed in OEM in a Java Application ???
    DMS ??? what use DMS ???
    tanks

    ok.
    Well using DMS is one way to get at these sorts of stats in a programmatic manner.
    There's a Java API you can use, or you could call out to the Spy servlet to query the DMS stats in either text or XML form.
    I don't have an MDB published so I can't show you specifiically, but here's the sort of query you can use to extract the data.
    http://localhost:8888/dms0/Spy?format=raw&table=oc4j_ejb_stateless_bean&recurse=children
    Which produces a table of the TEXT form:
    <DMSDUMP version='9.0.4' timestamp='1163456821185 (Tue Nov 14 08:57:01 CST 2006)' id='8888' name='OC4J'>

    </statistics>
    </DMSDUMP>
    Or produces an XML document of the form:
    http://localhost:8888/dms0/Spy?format=xml&table=oc4j_ejb_stateless_bean&recurse=children
    You can use the Spy console to find the table that contains the details for MDB and then take it from there.
    This is not what you specifically want to do, but it does provide a good overview of how DMS is used.

  • How to calculate the number of operations in Undo/Redo stack?

    How to calculate the number of operations in Undo/Redo stack?
    I tried to override UndoManager.pushUndo method and increment "operationsCounter" there, but pushUndo is called each time I make a change in text.

  • How to globally modify number formatting in Crystal Reports

    How do I globally modify the number formatting in Crystal Reports to NOT use the default which is “System Default Number Format”? The goal is to modify the number formatting to NOT contain commas. This modification should be global and should apply to any local account that will launch and use Crystal Reports on the server where it is installed. Can anyone help?

    Hi Raghavendra,
    For new reports, we have tried the setting you specified.  The question is, how can we force Crystal Reports to “keep” and “retain” the adjusted format globally every time users create a new report?
    Thank you!

  • How to delete the number saved in CALL FORWARDING list?

    how to delete the number saved in CALL FORWARDING list? seems like the number cannot be deleted in CALL FORWARDING list, i tried several times...
    he thing is, here are three numbers in the call forwarding list, one of them were set up by mistake, and none of them can be deleted.......it brothers me all the time. i already turn it off, but the number list is still there...

    Hello dennis130915 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    The image you have uploaded is unable to be displayed.
    Call Forwarding is a carrier controlled feature. Most likely, the number you see could be for the Voice Mail server.
    It's advised you call your mobile service provider to further assist with this feature.

  • How to find the number of data items in a file written with ArryToFile function?

    I have written an array of number in 2 column groups to a file using the LabWindows/CVI function ArrayToFile...Now if I want to read the file with FileToArray Function then how do I know the number of items in the file. during the write time I know how many array items to write. but suppose I want the file to read at some later time then How to find the number of items in the file,So that I can read the exact number and present it. Thanks to all
    If you are young work to Learn, not to earn.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What about:
    OpenFile ( your file );
    cnt = 0;
    while ((br = ReadLine ( ... )) != -2) {
    if (br == -1) {
    // I/O error: handle it!
    break;
    cnt++;
    CloseFile ( ... );
    There are some ways to improve performance of this code, but if you are not reading thousands of lines it's quite fast.
    After this part you can dimension the array to pass to FileToArray... unless you want to read it yourself since you already have it open!
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • How to find the number of entries in a master data table

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to find the entries in 0CUSTOMER master data.
    BW>LISTCUBE>Data target: 0CUSTOMER and selected the fields that I need.
    I would like to know how to find the "number of entrees". I tried to run the SUM for a count field, but it is taking forever as there are huge number of records .

    Hi Dev,
    Go to the change/display mode of the info object (0CUSTOMER) in your case. Go to the Master data/Text tab. Here you will find the master data tables according to your settings (P orQ or X or Y). Double click on the table name and it will take you to the SE11 display. From there, you can check the number of records as you do in any transparent table.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to find the number of links in a website

    hi every body
    can any one clear my doubt
    my doubt is that
    in a website how to find the number of links the hole website contains
    is there any navigation tool to find that
    plz help me yar
    i am waiting for the reply

    If you're talking about commercial sites (sites you don't have the source code for) I'm not sure.
    If you want to count the links in site that you have the source code for, it should be relatively easy to write a Java application to do it. All you really need to do is have a list of the files you want to count links in, read each file line by line and check for the existance of the <a> tag in each line. Anywhere their is an <a> tag there is a link.
    Hope this helps.

    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
    Eric Steven Raymond
    Rick Moen
    Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
    We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
    So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal ? in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
    Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
    More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.

  • How to find the number of fetched lines from select statement

    Hi Experts,

    and one more thing is can you tell me how to check the written select statement or written statement is correct or not????
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Look for the system field SY_TABIX. That will contain the number of records which have been put into an internal table through a select statement.
    For ex:
    data: itab type mara occurs 0 with header line.
    Select * from mara into table itab.
    Write: Sy-tabix.
    This will give you the number of entries that has been selected.
    I am not sure what you mean by the second question. If you can let me know what you need then we might have a solution.
    Hope this helps,
