Number formatting with either 2 decimal places or none

Hello,
I'm using Acrobat 8 in XP and not familiar with Javascript.
I have some dollar amount fields where I need it to be number formatted, and limited to 2 decimal places but leave the user the ability to enter only an integer.
ie, go to two decimal places if any of
> .
> .0
> .00
> .000(...)
are present but leave it off if none are present.
I assume I need a custom format script but I've not been able to learn enough to figure it out yet.
If anyone can give me some code I can edit and paste, that would be great. Any help is appreciated.

> Have a String as "3.0000000"
String s = "3.0000000";
System.out.printf("%.2f", Double.parseDouble(s)); // 3.00

Formatting currencies and decimal places

I'm currently using NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() to format numbers as currency. However, one problem I'm having is that I'd like values with no cents to be formatted with no decimal places, and any values with cents to be formatted with the usual 2 decimal places. For example:
17 would be formatted as $17
17.45 would be formatted as $17.45
17.4 would be formatted as $17.40
The last one is the tricky part--I've tried formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(0), and this works great for the first two cases. But for the last case, the number gets formatted as $17.4.
Basically my problem is I want a number to be formatted with zero or two decimal places and nothing in between. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise you are likely to find that you are getting .00 due to errors from previous calculations. You are right. Adjusted it to Locale aware

}The value adjustedValue is needed since NumberFormat doesn't seem to round the value. It just breaks.

Uploading Number with Two Decimal Places

I am trying to import data from my excel file to table in the database using SQL Developer.
It is working fine except that in my excel file I have data with two decimal places, but during import it shows only one decimal place. Is there any way I can import data with two decimal places?

This works well with SQL Dev 1.5.X.
Guess it would have been a bug in prior versions.

Convert amount with four decimal places to amount with two decimal places

Hi,
for specific reasons we have set the prices to four decimal places. However, in an invoice the staff needs to see all prices with two decimal places. Therefore I have created new user-defined fields which should show the rounded values However, I have not yet found the right formatted search that outputs the value with two decimal places including currency symbol.
The statement
SELECT $[$38.20.NUMBER]
outputs the value with two decimal places which is fine, but it does not contain the currency.
The statement
SELECT $[$38.20.0]
outputs both value and currency, but the value still has four decimal places as the original price.
And the statement
SELECT CAST($[$38.20.NUMBER] AS VARCHAR(20)) + $[$38.20.CURRENCY]
outputs a value with even six decimal places.
Did anyone already have the same problem???
Or does anyone have any idea???
Thanks and regards
Corinna

Hi again,
the value should be displayed in a user-defined field of the screen.
The result of the query
SELECT $[$38.20.NUMBER]
has already two decimal places, so that I do not need a round here. But the currency is missing.
When I add the round function to the query
SELECT $[$38.20.0]
it does unfortunatly result in an error.
Any ideas????
Thanks so much in advance!

Displaying all numbers with 2 decimal places

Hi All,
We have a requirement in our code where we want that all numbers must be diplayed with 2 decimal places.
Eg: If a number is 21.234 then it should be displayed as 21.23
If a number is 21.289 then it should be displayed as 21.28
If a number is 21 then it should be displayed as 21.00
Can anyone please help me how to do it in a SQL query.
Regards,
Shruti

Hi, Shruti,
This shows a couple of things you can do:
COLUMN     trnc     FORMAT     999999.99
WITH     got_x     AS
     SELECT     empno / 1000     AS x
     FROM     scott.emp
SELECT     x
,     TO_CHAR (x,            '999999.99')     AS tc
,     TO_CHAR (TRUNC (x, 2), '999999.99')     AS trnc_tc
,     TRUNC (x, 2)                              AS trnc
FROM     got_x
;Output:
`        X TC         TRNC_TC          TRNC
     7.369       7.37       7.36       7.36
     7.499       7.50       7.49       7.49
     7.521       7.52       7.52       7.52
     7.566       7.57       7.56       7.56
     7.654       7.65       7.65       7.65
     7.698       7.70       7.69       7.69
     7.782       7.78       7.78       7.78
     7.788       7.79       7.78       7.78

     7.934       7.93       7.93       7.93Column x is the number, as SQL*Plus displays it by default. Note there are as many digits after the decimal point as are needed.
Column tc shows how TO_CHAR can format the number, with exactly 2 digits after the decimal point. This automatically rounds the number to the nearest multiple of .01, so on the first row (for example) 7.369 gets displayed as 7.37.
user11272043 wrote:
... If a number is 21.289 then it should be displayed as 21.28You (apparantly) always want the number rounded toward 0, so column tc isn't quite what you want.
Column trnc_tc is exacly what you requested, with the numbr rounded toward 0 (when any rouning is necessry) and 2 digits after the decimal point.
Column tc is also exactly what you requested, but it uses SQL*Plus formatting rather than SQL. Also, column trnc is a NUMBER, while column trnc_tc is a VARCHAR2, because TO_CHAR, as its name hints, returns a VARCHAR2.
The SQL*Plus command
SET   NUMFORMAT 999999.99changes the default format for all number columns. If you use this, you can override it for individual columns by using TO_CHAR (since it returns a VARCHAR2, the NUMFORMAT doesn't apply),or a COLUMN command. Also, if you use SET NUMFORMAT 999999.99, you'll still have to explicitly TRUNC every number, or else 21.289 will come out as 21.29, not 21.28.

!!!! How to maintain the value with 2 decimal places !!!

hi
i have a double var and i need to maintain it with 2 decimal places only..
thanks..

What do you mean with you need to "maintain it" with 2 decimal places?
Do you want to display the number with 2 decimal places? If so, have a look at the API documentation of java.text.DecimalFormat.
double d = 3.14159265358979;
NumberFormat f = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
System.out.println(f.format(d));

Decimal format to 2 decimal places ????

Hello Everyone,
I have created a web dynpro application which to display a report depending on the data given by the BAPI. But there is some issue with the numeric data returned by the BAPI.
For ex - if the BAPI returns 5.00 the value is displayed in the report as 5.
I want uniform decimal values till 2 decimal places. For example 5 shd come as 5.00, 2.1 shd come as 2.10 etc.
I searched SDN abt this, and found many threads relating to this.
I tried using decimal format, creating a simple dictinary type, but using all this what happens is the value basically changes to a string format, this implies that the value is displayed in the table as "left-aligned".
Where- as we need the decimal numeric values to be right-aligned.
Any thoughts how to achieve this.
Please correct me if I have missed out on anything.
Thanks,
Samta

Hi,
From wat i understood.. u have a attribute coming from BAPI.. which you want to display with two decimal places,,
In this case.. assuming it is coming with 2 decimal places from the backend.. create a value node.. inside the node which contains the output data. set its carinality to 1..1 .. create a value attribute of type big decimal in it.. or probably string.. if there is an issue in displaying BigDecimal directly..
map this new attribute to the necessary column in the table..
BigDecimal value = new BigDecimal("the actual value in string or long").setScale(2);
assign this to the value attribute created..
(If alignment is the problem.. set the column 's textview property halign to right.. and layout as block or paragraph.. )

Custom Number Format With Leading & Trailing Zeros

Hi!
How can I define following number format in Apple Pages (v3.5)?
Positive numbers: +#'##0.00 (e.g. +0.30 or +5'000.00)
Negative numbers: -#'##0.00 (e.g. -0.30 or -5'000.00)
If I create a custom number format and enable Show Trailing Zeros, the leading zero is not shown (e.g. +.30 instead of +0.30). Number format with Thousands Separator enabled comes closest to what I need, but misses the plus sign for positive numbers (which I need to represent differences).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Tuna,
Maybe the currency format would work for you,
The plus sign is problematic. With the above your negative numbers will be red and in brackets, positive numbers will be black. You could use conditional highlighting to change that.

Formatting Numeric Only with Variable Decimal Places

Acrobat Pro 9, Windows XP
I'm creating a form that has a number of text box form fields that are to be numeric only per the form requestor. However, for any given field of this type the number of decimal places that can be entered can vary from 0-3 and the requestor does NOT want any unnecessary decimals to appear in the final output (e.g., a "1.2" entry should not appear as "1.200"). The standard number formatting properties always show all the decimal places so I know it's not that route. No calculations will be performed with any of these entries -- the form requestor merely is entering data and then printing it out so that it's legible for the end-user.
I know that the following line of JavaScript in the Custom Keystroke property limits the entry to numeric only, but how should I tweak the syntax to allow a decimal entry:
event.rc = (!event.change || /^\d$/.test(event.change))
I probably also need a script to format for decimal places, but I don't know where to look in the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference or in the MDN JavaScript Reference.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Good question. To keep it simple (because there are about 300 form fields in this document), if they choose to add extra decimal zeros, then who am I to argue with their entry. So in your example for a given form field, if they enter "1.200" then I expect that they want "1.200" to display.
OK, but earlier you said:
"However, for any given field of this type the number of decimal places that can be entered can vary from 0-3 and the requestor does NOT want any unnecessary decimals to appear in the final output (e.g., a "1.2" entry should not appear as "1.200")."
This seems inconsistent. Can you clarify? The point is the code and where it's placed depends on this. It could be implemented either as a custom Validate or Format script, in addition to a Keystroke script.

Problems of setting values% with 2 decimal places in any graphics. What sho

Guys, I have the xcelsius 2008 and can not make it work chart with values % and 2 decimal places. Already set up everything that I know the spreadsheet and graphics.
Someone knows what can I do?
Thanks Anderson - Sao Paulo - Brazil.

Hi Anderson,
To get values in % and upto two decimal, follow the below steps:
Go to Chart properties-> Appearences Tab-> Text tab.
Select the "Vertical Axis Labels" and go to the Number format present below in the window.
Change the format to "Percentage" and set decimal places to "2".
This should work.
Please revert incase you have any queries.
Thanks,

A double with 2 decimal places

I need to output a double that has 2 decimal places. The default is just one and I don't know the command to make it two. For example,i want an output of 37.5 to be displayed as 37.50. If you know the command, please tell me. Thanks!

Looks like you are trying to deal with money.
Firstly if you are dealing with money store everything as the lowest form of currency in your given area. eg as pence or cents and place it in a int or long. That way you dont get any rounding erros when you multiply up the value.
To put two decimal places on a number is easy just use a DecimalFormat from java.text
Like this
double myNumber = 3.1;
DecimalFormat decF = new DecimalFormat( "######0.00" );
String myFormattedNumber = decF.format( myNumber );
System.out.print( "My number is " + myFormattedNumber ); The #######0.00 in the DecimalFormat constructor call is a pattern that is used to format the number. The # indicate an optional number the 0 indicates a required number and if one is not provided a 0 will be included.

Format to 2 decimal places?

Hi, i need to display my data in 2 decimal places but now i'm getting results after some calculation (for eg. 2.336224). How can i round it off to 2.34?

I also agree with Arun and Rajesh,
When I need to specify the number of decimal points as part of an expression, e.g. ; - Tooltip series properties of a chart.
I use; -
=ROUND(Fields!Total.Value,2)
or
=FORMAT(Fields!Total.Value,"N")
I hope this helps someone.
