Numbers custom format

I'm trying to create a chart that I can track the 'total' of a receipt then split that total into 4 different categories with amounts... is that possible? I have seen it on an accounting program, iBank, but not sure if or how to do that on my own spread sheet in Numbers.

Hi Lcorzo,
You might want to study the personal budget template. I think it does what you want it to.

  • How to delete a custom format in Numbers 3

    I am one of the poor unfortunates that has upgraded to Numbers 3 BIG mistake!!
    However does anyone know how to delete a custom format in Numbers 3?
    I'm not sure where the custom format came from in the erlier version of numbers. I guess I must have created it for something, I can't remember what.
    It now appaers that when I send a Numbers 3 document via email to an Excel format  it adds a weird custom format that turns currency into garbage. Once in Excel simply going to format cells and deleting this odd format cures the problem.
    If I could find a way of deleting it in Numbers 3, hopefully the problem will go away.
    This is far from the only problem I'm having with Numbers 3. It's begining to look like I'll have to abandon Numbers 3 having had to go to the expense of buying a new iPad because Numbers 3 documents (and presumably Pages Keynote etc) no longer work on the original iPad.

    I never promote the method the deletion unless you understand the underlying tables of planning, if you search on the forum you will see posts on the subject just like this one - Delete dimension from planning application

  • Adding a currency in numbers missing custom format option

    I just paid for numbers latest version June 2012. iPad 3' v5.1.1.     Want to format a cell as a currency not in the little list chosen by apple.  Forums suggest using the custom format option but I can not see this anywhere?  Any ideas how to add a custom format or how to extend the list of currencies to all currencies. If nothing else missing out a countries currency as too unimportant to include is just plain rude!

    1) You posted to the Numbers on Mac OS X forum ( Apple Support Communities > iWork > Numbers >   Discussions ).  The iWork for iOS forum is more likely to provide the direct answer...
       it is here:  https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
    2) you can add custom formats (demonstrating from Numbers for Mac OS X) by opening the cells inspector:
    Then naming the new format and setting the parameters of the format:
    If the currency symbol is not in the list then you can preceed (or follow) the value with the proper symbol:
    I decided to demonstrate this by showing a preceeding infinity sign before the amount:

  • Add '+' to all positive numbers using custom format

    I am a whiz at Excel but took the plunge for Numbers recently. Many things I cannot figure out how to do, but the current one is, I want some cells to always show + and - for the integers. So, things like:
    +9
    -5
    +14
    etc.
    How do I set that up? My feeble attempts so far make negative numbers appear with both.

    In the custom format window,
    1) Click the plus sign.
    2) Choose "if greater than 0"
    3) Click in the new format line then use the left arrow to get to the left of what's already there
    4) Type a +
    5) If you want the format to be integers, skip this step. If you want decimal places then drag the decimal format up from below and drop one on the right of the original format and one on the right of your new format. Choose how many decimals you want for each. Choose to show trailing zeros if you want them.
    6) Click OK

  • Numbers by Apple: Can I create a custom format on the iPad, like on Mac?

    A

    Hi A,
    I don't see how you could create it directly in iOS. Any table with custom formatting created on a Mac should import those formats to your iPad.

  • FrameMaker update book icon not updating and custom formatting help

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to FrameMaker, and I am currently experiencing two issues:
    First Issue
    I am currently trying to create a book that currently has three chapters. I am trying to break it out into the following format:
    Main TOC - includes all the headers and related pages for the entire book
    Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File A
    Chapter Source File A - includes all related content to Chapter Source File A
    Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File B
    Chapter Source File B - includes all related content to Chapter Source File B
    Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File C
    Chapter Source File C - includes all related content to Chapter Source File C
    Whenever I click the Update Book icon, however, it does not update the headers and page numbers. They still remain the same way when I first generated them. This occurs for both the main TOC and mini TOC.
    Second Issue
    In addition to the format structure I designed for my book, I also wanted to create a custom format look that remains constant whenever I update my TOC. I have tried testing this, but I noticed every time I generate a new TOC it is always in the unformatted FrameMaker style which you have reformat each time.
    Is there a way to create a custom format look that can retain the design and simply update the TOC headers and page numbers each time it needs to be updated?
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Thank you!

    First I'd highly recommend getting Matt Sullivan's Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FM11 book - it's a pretty complete reference one to have on FM.
    Second, it sounds like you may not have your ToC reference pages set up correctly - if nothing changes when you've added content that should have created more ToC headings and shift pages around, then something is amiss. Your formatting problem is solved by doing a bit of a dodge - you create a ToC and generate it, then replace it with your formatted .fm doc keeping the exact name as the generated doc; then update again. Now the content is formatted the way you want and keeps being updated each time you update.

  • Creating a custom format for angles that adds a degree symbol

    I am creating a fillin form.  I would like to customize the format of a number field to add a degree symbol to the numbers added by the user.  So when the users types in 90 a small elevated circle representing degrees automatically appears after the digits.  Can I do this?

    OK, probably the easiest way is to take advantage of Acrobat's built-in formatting routines for a number and adapt it to use a degree symbol. In the sample linked to below I created a document-level JavaScript and added the following two functions:
    function degreeFormat() {
        AFNumber_Format(0, 1, 0, 0, "\u00b0", false);
    function degreeKeystroke() {
        AFNumber_Keystroke(0, 1, 0, 0, "\u00b0", false);
    Which get called from the field's custom Format and Keystroke events, respectively:
    // Custom Format script
    degreeFormat();
    // Custom Keystroke script
    degreeKeystroke();
    Here's where you can download a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=t241U3Pj0w0FztiQw5jgSw
    This allows decimal entries, but rounds to the nearest whole number for display. If you don't want a user to enter a fractional part, the script is a bit more complicated, but can be done.

  • Where to put my customized formatting that Control Hints does not provide?

    To whom that know or have experience with it:
    The control hints does not provide solutions for all possible formatting needs. For example, I need to display only last four digits of social security numbers (i.e., for "123-45-6789", display "***-**-6789"). Another data table column stores school semesters as YYYYMM, e.g., 200902, where 2009 is the year and 02 is the month that represents Spring (MM can also be 06 and 09 that represent Summer and Fall). I need to display the semester in a more user-friendly way (i.e., for "200902", display "Spring 2009"). Of course, I can not change data format in the table; I only seek to format the display of the data.
    I would think that it takes only a few lines of java code to do these formatting by splitting the string into sub-strings, replace some of them with appropriate new values, then re-assemble them. But where to put such code? Does any documentation cover this topic?

    Shay,
    I read the document, tried it, and it worked out nicely.
    There is not the getAttributeName() method in the ViewObjectImpl class in version 10.1.3.4, which is the version I am using. But the EO class has it and it works out all the same.
    I don't know how long it would otherwise take me to read and fumble to find out where to put the custom formatting code. Your experience and familiarity with the technology really saved me a huge amount of time. Thank you so much for your help!

  • Date not being displayed in the custom format

    Hi ,
      I have a problem wherein i am unable to change the format of the date.
    I need the date to be in the format 'January 10,2010.' however the date is being displayed as '1/10/10'. I have tried all options for the date formatting. I specified the custom format as 'MMMM D,YYYY' as mentioned in the SAP Library. I am trying to use the std custom options like YYYY-MM-DD, the date is not being dispalyed in the custom format provided by SAP either.
    I have binded date from the context, used the Current Date field provided by SAP.  Nothing works.
    Its not working on the new form. However the old forms have the same kind of formatting and are being displayed as desired.
    Please suggest as to what the issue could be.
    Thanks,
    Soumya.

    Hi All,
    Even I'm encountering the same issue. I'm trying to control the outputted date format programmatically.Please have a look.
    data: v_int_date like sy-datum,
            v_ext_date(10).
    v_int_date = '20110201'
    write v_int_date to v_ext_date MM/DD/YYYY.
    Here I've tried to convert the date to external format using a fixed format(MM/DD/YYYY). But still it's getting outputted in the format DD/MM/YYYY only as that's the way its defined in the User Master!
    Is there any solution for this? How can I 'override' defaults in the SAP User Master?
    Thanks,
    Mahesh

  • Custom formatting text?

    I some documents with custom formatting in them, for example if a sentence was:
    This should be {red}color.
    Then the world "color" should be red and the {red} should not appear.
    Now my current way of doing this it though a JTextPane.
    I do something like this (currently dont have the code with me so it may not be 100% accurate):
    // Get our temp
    String temp = this.getText ( );
    // Get our pos
    int pos = temp.indexOf ( "{red}" );
    // Set the first half
    this.setText ( temp.substring ( 0, pos ) );
    // Set the second half
    this.setText ( this.getText ( ) + temp.substring ( pos + 6, temp.length ( ) - pos - 6 );
    styledDocument.setCharacterAttributes(pos, this.getText ( ).length ( ) - pow, styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ), false);Is their any better ways to do this?
    Can I automatically do like a
    styledDocument.addReplace ( "{red}", styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ) ); So that it will automatically know what to replace? Thanks for any help!

    Can I automatically do like a styledDocument.addReplace ( "{red}",
    styledDocument.getStyle ("Red" ) ); So that it will automatically know what to replace? No idea what you are asking. You can write you own method to do that if you want. But the StyledDocument can't do that for you.

  • How do I get my contact phone numbers to format properly?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 4S on Verizon.  The majority of my contact phone numbers are now in the format: 1234567890.  On my old iPhone 4 (AT&T) they were displayed as (123) 456-7890.
    This is causing several problems.
    When I try to dial from contacts, Verizon keeps insisting the numbers are international, and I don't have international service.
    When a call from a contact comes in, it shows the number, not the name (it cannot correlate the caller ID number with the name in my contact list).  The same with text messages.
    I cannot get Siri to dial any of these contacts.
    I am syncing via iCloud, and was on my last phone.  In Address Book on my Macintosh the numbers are formatted properly, and show as US numbers.
    I've searched through settings, but I don't see any way to change how Contacts on the iPhone displays numbers.
    Is there some way to convince my phone that these are US numbers, format them correctly, and stop giving me trouble dialing them please?

    I had this problem also and did the same thing. I dialed *228, chose option 1 and it worked. My question is that my phone, which is a 4S and on Verizon, is the only iPhone I've ever had. The format of my numbers just changed. I didn't realize it until I noticed that I was getting calls from people on my contact list and the number, not the name, was coming up. Is there a reason that this happened? I'd like to know in case it was something I did so I can be sure not to do it again.

  • How to get custom formating to show in export as HTML CS4

    Using a copy of CS4, I am exporting an indesign document that has custom formated words. That is some words are italicized and don't conform to the paragraph style (I have to do this as I get all my documents from Microsoft Word Files). The italicized text shows up as a paragraph style such as "BodyText+" where the normal text is "BodyText". Manually applying a character style to all the italicized text would be impossible.
    How can I export as html in this case? Is there a way to format all BodyText+ with a special character style?

    Well I guess the find/replace all seems to have set the character styles in the InDesign document, but, it makes no difference in the html output
    It still looks like <p class="body-bodytext">nonitalics italics</p>.
    Does anybody know how to make it do something like this:
    <p class="body-bodytext">nonitalics <span ="italics_character_style"> italics</span></p> ?
    I can write the post processing stuff as long as it somehow notes the difference

  • Opening an Excel file with custom formatting while BEx is open

    Hi,
    we just noticed something pretty weird (first time I see it in my carreer). One of the end users had BEx open (just launched the BEx Analyzer without actually opening a query/workbook) and tried to open one of her "own" Excel sheets out of Explorer.
    The file opened but all of a sudden the custom formatted currency fields changed from US$ amounts to DM amounts??? I assume DM stands for Deutsche Mark (a currency which has not been in use for about 9 years I believe). This "custom" format seems to only appear when BEx is opened. End user has Excel03 with BI AddOn 7.X Support Package 8, Patch 1, Revision 1443. When I do this on my own pc (I have Excel07 and the same BI AddOn), I get exactly the same behavior, be it a bit slower (I can see the file opening with $ amounts which slowly change to DM amounts). There are no macro's in the Excel workbook (was one of my first checks). I also tried opening the file from within Excel, but it gives the same weird behavior. Next check was to open a BI report first (so there was no empty BEx session) and then open the file in Excel... still the same.
    Ok, then I assumed it would use some kind of "marker" to point to the correct entry in the list of custom formats, but even that is not true. In the original file (opened in Excel when BEx is not open), it takes position 43. If I open the file while BEx is open, it takes position 49.
    Did anyone experience this before?
    Cheers,
    RafB

    Hi,
    you are using BI Frontend SP 801 and the next available Frontend SP should provide a fix for the issue. I would recommend to install Frontend SP 902, the latest one. Note [1294215|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1294215] describes the issue and refers to Frontend SP 900.
