IPhone, Excel Spreadsheet Cell Formatting Incorrectly

I am opening a "Mortgage Rates" spreadsheet on my iPhone. The rates are showing up as numbers, instead of percentages. For example: a rate on the spreadsheet will be 4.00%. It translates that on the spreadsheet on my iPhone as 0.040%.
I did figure that if I format the cell on my PC as a "Number" instead of a "%", it then duplicated the humbers I'm seeing on the iPhone.
8gig 3GS, iOS 4.0.2
Thanks so much in advance.

Talking to Apple now. Anyone? Anyone at all? ha

Need help with Report Generation Toolkit: Excel Set Cell Format.vi

Hi people,
I've been searching and found this old thread of someone asking what is the input parameter "Number format". And I dont know what should I put in there. I've tried so many possibilities, but nothing works so far, such as:
0,0
0,?
0,#
#,0
?,0
and also with @, doesnt works. Where would I find help about this parameter?
I'm using Excel2003, german version, thus local decimal separator is a comma.
I also found this help from NI, but seems doesnt help me either. Do I miss something important?
thanks,
Yan.

Hi,
I've used your suggestion and some numbers in excel doesnt need to get "right click, change to numbers" anymore (green indicators on the left-top side in some cells are gone). But, I think its still not a number, because I cant use a simple formula, such as in cell A10 I type "= A1/2" (cell A10 equals cell A1 divided with 2) . I got error which says its not a number.
Well, but other thing is found, any format-string I put in the input of Excel Set Cell Format.vi, such as #,########, will be shown the same as "customize #,########" if I right click in a cell in excel and click "Zellen formatieren" (formatting cell). But however, the numbers are still depends on the input of the format I put in the Append Table to Report.vi.
regards,
Yan.

Spreadsheet cell format.

How can I enter numbers with leading zeros? Format submenu gives me Number format only. Should there not be a general cell format with an option to insert text?

"This is very helpful. I have a spreadsheet with about 3500-4500 numbers in Column A (ISBNs) that I will have to restore to 10 digit numbers"
Hi Bilynbrook,
Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Since all of your numbers are currently in the first column of your spreadsheet, you'll probably want to have the 'corrected' ISBNs in a column to the left of the rest of your data.
Click on the header to column B to select the entire column, then press shift -command-I to Insert cells. You'll get a new (empty) column B, and all of the data in the spreadsheet (except the contents of colunn A) will be shifted one column to the right.
If column B is no longer selected, reselect the whole column by clicking its header again. Type one of the formulas below, but don't press enter or return. Instead, press command-D to fill the formula into all the cells Down the column. Then, if you have column title information in the first row (oro more), replace the formula in the title row(s) with the appropriate title information.
Formulas:
1. Use this version if ALL of the ISBNs have already been entered, Delete the formula from any rows below the last row containing data.
2. Use this formula if you will be entering more ISBNs later. Leave the formula in the rows which contain no data as yet—the extra part keeps these cells empty until an ISBN (or other data) is entered into the cell in column A.
=IF(LEN(A1)>0,=RIGHT("0000000000"&A1,10),"")
Once you've entered the formula and filled it down the column (and done the editing mentioned above), it's a good idea to Lock all the cells in that column to prevent accidental changes. You'll still use column A to enter the ISBNs, but you won't want to see it on the page. The easiest way to hide the column A is to select it by clicking on its header, then go Format > Column Width, and set the width to zero. To enter a new number, click on column B in the appropriate row, press the left arrow key once to move to column A, then enter the number.
Regards,
Barry

Why am I getting an error message when texting another iPhone number saying destination format incorrect?

I have been texting a uk phone numer for sometime with no problems but am now getting an error message saying" sorry destination number format incorrect " what can I do?

Nope, that's not it. I'm having exactly the same issue with someone I'm still in contact with. It's really bizarre but it only appears to affect a few contacts and the number formats are identical to others that work fine. Bizarre.

MS Office (Excel) Toolkit - trouble formatting cells

I have the MS Office toolkit 1.1 and LabVIEW 7.0. I am using 'Excel easy table' to write arrays of strings (number strings and titles, etc.) to a spreadsheet but I also want to control the number of decimal places and the number format.
I want to use 'Custom ##0.0E+0' number format (engineering notation) and I want to have 3 or 4 decimal places. Currently, the format of the number written into Excel changes based on whether I converted from a number to an engineering string (engineering notation is not preserved in Excel) or if the string in the array is read straight from my GPIB query. I want to be able to control these things within LabVIEW. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Sara,
The easiest thing to do would be for you to create your new report based off a template Excel file. I have attached a sample VI and a sample Excel template that show how to do this. If you know which way you want individual columns to be formatted, this is the easiest solution. If, however, you might have different formatting that needs to be assigned dynamically, you will have to use the more advanced Excel VIs, like the "Excel Set Cell Format.vi", located in the Excel Format subpalette. There is an example that ships with the Report Generation Toolkit that uses this VI to set the colors of certain cells in the spreadsheet...the example is located at examples\office\Excel Examples.llb\Conditionally Formatted Spreadshee
t.vi.
I hope these suggestions help. Good luck,
-D

Why Excel insert cell block, hasn't input for data input?

Hi
I found a block for insert new row in excel, but there is no input for data input. how should I insert data by this block to excel file? can you help me?
that block name: Excel insert cells
in report generator toolkit

behzad1 a écrit :
I could work with Excel insert cell block, but when I want add new data to an old row continuation, last row shift downward! while I want add data to old row. anyone can help me?
Nobody will be able to identify the problem without seeing your code. Excel Insert Cells.vi is used to add cells to an existing spreadsheet, not to set the cell value. To do this is a more specific way than the Append Report Text.vi you can use Excel Easy Text.vi or Excel Insert Table.vi. With these vis you can specify the range where you want to insert something.
For your other question (Two different data types) you can use the Excel Set Cell Format.vi to format a range as a date or something else. You will need to use the Excel format specifiers for this.

Linking to specific cells in an Excel spreadsheet no longer working

I use RoboHelp HTML version 7 and just upgraded to MS Office 2007. I have project that contains hyperlinks to specific cells in an Excel spreadsheet using the following syntax: <a HREF="../file_name.xls#cell_name"> (a tip I found on Peter Grainge's website). This worked fine with Office 2003.
With Office 2007, however, the hyperlink opens the Excel spreadsheet to the first cell on the first tab regardless of the the #cell_name suffix. I've tried the following with no success:
delete the .xls baggage file, convert the .xls to the newer .xlsx format, add the .xlsx as a baggage file, rename the hyperlinks to .xlsx (in HTML view), generate new output
same as above but re-creating the hyperlinks (rather than just renaming)
When I preview the topic, the hyperlink is active but does not open the spreadsheet (topic cannot be found). In the generated output, the hyperlink is not even a hyperlink (just plain old text).
Another unusual behavior (I have no idea if this is related) -- before I tried to fix this, when the original spreadsheet (.xls) opened in "compatibility mode," it was not maximized in Excel's window. When I used to open this in Office 2003, it was always maximized.
Does anyone know if the #cell_name suffix works in Office 2007? Is there another way to link to a specific cell?

Hi all
As I understand it, the "X" on the 2007 stuff signifies a format similar to a zipped format. If what I understand is true, it would seem to make sense that this would also somewhat preclude linking in the manner you are speaking of. It would be akin to opening a specific document after first opening the zip archive.
Cheers... Rick

Can i create Excel SpreadSheet in my iPhone App ?

Hello experts,
I need to create and apply calculations in the excel spreadsheet in my iPhone app and then email that file. Now email thing is simple. But can i create the Excel file in my apps Documents Directory and then apply calculations/formulas on the cells ?
If not, then i can go for server support but i really want to make it a independent application without any server side support.
Provide me some guidance regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Creating an Excel compatible spreadsheet App is non-trivial.
If you are looking for a working solution to your problem rather than how to write a spreadsheet program, look at Documents to Go, Mariner Calc or QuickOffice Mobile.

Call Excel SpreadSheet using OLE and set format = text

Hi All,
I am working on an object, where I need to call Excel SpreadSheet using OLE.
In SpreadSheet, I need to show data as text (Without Excel Internal Modifications).
i.e
if i pass 03/2007 as month in excel, it should show 01/2007 not jan-07.
I am trying to use the code as below.
call method of cell 'SET_FORMAT' = text.
set property of text 'CATEGORY' = 4.
this code is not giving me desired output.
Is there any other method i can call? or property I can set?
can somebody pls send me a document with list of all formattiong methods and properties. I will really appreciate the help.
Regards,
Hardik

Hi, you should concatenate the character ( ' ) into your text, example
CONCATENATE '''' text INTO text.
Then print the variable Text into excel and you will see the format as Text,
Thanks and regards.

Issue in cell format when exporting data to excel

Hello there,
I have an ABAP program that selects data from tables into an internal table and writes the data in CSV (excel) file.
I have a very weird issue when writing the file: The data is written properly, though the dates in my data, which is written in yyyymmdd format, has different cell format in the csv file itself. I'll expain:
Let's say I've written into CSV file a table with name and birthdate, and I have 2000 records. From record 1 to 1475, when I right-click on the date cells in those lines, and choose "cell format", I can see it's in "general" format. From line 1476 on, when I do that I see that the date cells are in format of "custom" with pattern 'yyyymmdd'.
I want all the cells to be "general". How do I do that?
Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,
Try using these Function Module......................
Before filling final internal table write those condition.................................
Data: gv_date   TYPE mch1-vfdat,
         gv_vdate(10) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
       EXPORTING
         date_internal            = gv_date
       IMPORTING
         date_external            = gv_vdate
       EXCEPTIONS
         date_internal_is_invalid = 1
         OTHERS                   = 2.
     IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
     ENDIF.

How do I display a few cells from an excel spreadsheet

Can a page be created that sets a field that displays
information located in an excel spreadsheet located on a different
server?
Basically there is a cell within an excel spreadsheet that
gets updated daily, and I want the coldfusion to reflect the change
real time.
I can see the excel file using this code:
<cfhttp method="get" url="
http://test/test.xls"
throwonerror="yes">
<cfoutput>#CFHTTP.filecontent#</cfoutput>
</cfhttp>
But it shows up as a bunch of gobblygook on the screen. How
can I detail it down to only 2 cells in the spreadsheet, and make
it look normal?

If you know Java, you can use POI:
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
It's fairly easy to use, but I haven't written anything
that's general enough to do something like "Give me cell A2 from
this Excel file". Everything I've done with it has been specialized
to the specific task at hand.
