Ignore not numbers values

Hi,
I have a column containing a number stored as text, and I want to do some calculation on that column. So I'm using TO_NUMBER function, but the problem that some values are not really numbers like '4A' so I want to bypass or ignore the calculations on those values.
Can I do this in SQL without PL/SQL?
Saad,

if you want to bypass the calculation if a character exists in your data value, consider using instr and then assigning a dummy number, something like this;
SQL> with t as (
2    select '4a' num from dual union all
3    select '4' num from dual
4    )
5 --
6 select case regexp_instr( t.num,'[^0-9]')
7            when 0 then
8              t.num * 2
9            else
10              -99
11         end Result
12 from t
13 /
    RESULT
       -99
         8

Is it possible to easily view the actual (not displayed) value of a cell?

Is it possible to easily view the actual value of a cell calculated by a formula, not the displayed value after it has been rounded off?
For instance, if you enter the number 1.23456789 and display it rounded to 3 decimal places, you can still see the full, actual value in the formula bar:
The problem arises when you reference that number in a formula: you can't see the underlying value (even though it's obviously known to Numbers):
Is there a way to get the formula bar (or a tooltip) to show the full, unrounded value? Changing the display to more decimal places is not very convenient, especially on big spreadsheets. Maybe it could be done via AppleScript?
A related issue arises when you try to look at the sum or average of a number: if the numbers being summed have the same number of rounded decimals, the sum displayed is rounded too. I find this very annoying: I want to see the actual value, not how my spreadsheet may be displaying it in that cell.
Although, curiously, rounding to any number of decimals as long as they are not all the same displays the full, correct underlying values:
Has anyone come up with workarounds for these issues?

I did it with an AppleScript.
Now any time I have a cell or cell range selected, I do one click (AppleScript menu > Display Value at Full Precision), and it shows me a popup alert that simply reads:
     rowname : columnname
     value
Here's the script:
tell application "Numbers"
          try
                    set selectedTables to (tables of sheets of front document whose selection range is not missing value)
                    repeat with selectedTable in selectedTables -- tables of each sheet
                              if contents of selectedTable is not {} then -- the list is not empty, it's the selected sheet
                                        set selectedCells to cells of selection range of (get item 1 of selectedTable)
                                        repeat with i in selectedCells -- each selected cell
                                                  set {selectedRow, selectedColumn, selectedVal} to {row, column, value} of i
--                                                  display alert "value of " & name of selectedRow & " : " & name of selectedColumn & " (" & address of selectedRow & ":" & address of selectedColumn & ")" message selectedVal
display alert name of selectedRow & " : " & name of selectedColumn message selectedVal
                                        end repeat

Transaction Type field not getting value in F-05 transaction

Hi All,
When ever we are doing a reverse posting for foreign currency valuation using F.05 Tcode it will create a BDC session where we can execute this batch Input session thru SM37.
This will use F-05 Tcode to post the the entries, but the problem is one of the field Transaction Type is not getting value for some of the GL account numbers range. This is totally SAP standard program take cares of it. Transaction type field value shuld be populated by '990' value for this GL account range, this is fixed. So is thr any User exit or Screen exit for this Tcode or how we can populate the value....
Help me...

Hi Mr/Mrs Bala Chander,
I am having the same problem.
When running F.05 a BIM is created for GL account X. GL account X has a field status in which transaction type is defined as a required field because of BCS / ECCS. We have a substitution rule in place which should default the transaction type, based on several criteria. But when executing the BIM, I see that nothing is filled in field transaction type. Did you find a proper solution for your problem? Changing the field status is not an option in my opinion.

Problem:
I am not getting Values for LOCATION. Why?
What I did:
I checked all location objects of all 4 cubes @ MultiProvider level .
I didn't use any Infoprovider in Qry designer sections.
Please suggest. What is the reason how to solve..
THanks & Regards.

hello,
in the identification tab of the MP,make sure you have checked all four checkboxes across the 4 infoproviders.
then in Listcube T-Code, select your MP,display the records based on selection inputs and see if location is populated.
If the data is not coming in listcube, then it will not come in the Query too.

Reporting Issue "Opening Balance values are going to Not Assigned Values"

Hi Friends,
Closing Balance values are perfectly showing but opening balance values are going to Not Assingned Values? I am not able to find it out.
our query is built on PCA Daily Multiprovider.
Pls Help.
Thanks
Asim

Hi Ravish,
Here are the details
Stock values and quantities in the PCA cube of BW never show correctly at an article level due to an opening balance issue. This reduces our ability to report on stocks at moving average price, i.e. anything that actually matches the financial values in the system. The issue arises because stock at the beginning of the year (quantity and value) for any site is only shown against an article of "Not assigned." Stock movements during the year are shown against the appropriate article.(If you have a new site, the will have stock assigned against an article up until 31 December and then the 31 December values are shown against "not assigned" for the next year).
Thanks

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered.

How can I list the songs in an album in iTunes without having to do it one by one? Some albums are not numbered or they show 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1.

Poor metadata needs to be corrected if the album is to display properly in iTunes. iTunes sees an "album" as any collection of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist isn't set). Each track of the album should have distinct Track V of W and Disc X of Y vaules. W,X,Y are optional, but X may be needed for multi disc albums.
See Gropuing tracks into albums for details.

I get the below error while accessing a query on the planning Info Cube. I used the SAP Exit variable Most Current Data (Transactional InfoCube) (0S_RQTRA) in the query for the Characteristic - Request ID (0REQUID) to extract the data from the yellow request too.
I do not use the below variables as in the below eror in my query at all. Please assist.
Diagnosis
This error diagnosis is specific only to the variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA !
Termination message BRAIN 632 appears:

System Response
1. Operation method of SAP-Exit-Variables 0P_FVAEX or 0P_CTPCA
With queries from the CO application, both SAP-Exit-Variables look for an entry for 'controlling area'. With this controlling area from the selection screen, the SAP-Exit-Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0CO_AREA (controlling area).
With queries from the FI application, the SAP Exit Variable 0P_FVAEX looks for an entry for 'company code'. With this company code from the selection screen, the SAP Exit Variables program reads the attributes for InfoObject 0COMP_CODE (Company Code).
0P_FVAEX determines the fiscal year variant (attribute 0FISCVARNT) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA (CO queries) or 0COMP_CODE (FI queries). 0P_CTPCA determines the currency type of the profit center local currency (attribute 0CURTP_PCA) from the attributes for 0CO_AREA.

Hello,
you need to take a closer look at your query. Somewhere you used one of the 0P_* exit variables, which work only for controlling related InfoCubes. Use your own variables.

The LOV modal window could not return value to the base page

when practicing the "create1" task in tutorial, met an issue.
when create an employee, manageName is a messageLovInput and managerID is a messageTextInput.
The issue is the LOV modal window could not return value to the mangerName, but can return to managerID .
If I remove the data boud porperties of the managerName (the bc4j porperties of view name-EmpFullVO and view attribute-MgrName), the lov works fine.
What is the reason?

James I would suggest to read the LOV topic in OAF developers' guide. Lov mappings are responsible for bringing pop up values to base page in LOV.

Thanks a lot Dan for the reply.
Yes, the single selection is 1A, 1B etc, I agree that including this default value 9999999999 in single selection will resolve this issue, but the BREAK DOWN TYPE is OPTIONAL, that means It will also consider a blank value, right?
Also, In the method defined for RECLASSIFICATION in workbench, in the TARGET parameters, the" HFM CD2 and Asset Type" is blank but the "DEFAULT is TICKED" which makes it a mandatory derivation rule.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Your replies on it are highly appreciated.
