Problem with Numbers! Cannot format a number with "1000" separator

I need to format numbers in cells with the "1000" separator
1000.99 should really look like 1,000.99
Looks like there is no way to do this in Numbers!
I only found the following work-around:
When I import a spreadsheet from Excel the formating is there and Numbers will even keep the format as long as I do not delete the cell contect! So to me this means that the functionality is there - it was just forgotten to implement a numbers formatting took in the GUI!
Of course Numbers is just a scaled down product for iPad and does not really stand up to Excel but this is the most basic function that I expected from a spreadsheet program!
Anybody experience that problem too or is there another way to get this to work?

Hey Dell,
I actually fixed this by using the following which gives the same result.
ToText(Member#,"#") & "-" & ToText(Account#,"#")
It would be nice if Crystal Reports Server 2008 was able to detect the field formats used in a report when saved from Crystal Reports. This worked without the formulas in Crystal Enterprise 9.
Another issue I found on this report was an issue with charts and group headers. If you are using a number on your chart axis it was displaying the number as 9,999.00 and the same for the Group Header. You actually have to create a group header and axis formula specifically converting the number to text with the formula above.
Thanks,
Lee

Problem with thousands separator

Hi,
I'am working on dunning letters print and i've a problem with the thousands separator.
Data is stored in a table field typed CURR. The intern format is 119600,60
When i print directly this value on my SmartForm, there are many blanks before the number, corresponding to the size of the variable (15 caracters). I don't know hax to remove this blanks.
I tried to change the type of the variable by moving the value into a CHAR variable. The result is better : the blanks have been cleared out but unfortunatelly, the thousands seperators too.
Does someone know how to put the value of a variable typed CURR in a string or a char variable with thousands separators ?
To sum up my query :
The CURR variable contains 119600,60
I want a String or a char variable containing 119 600,00
Thanks a lot
regards

Hi...
write : wf_cu LEFT-JUSTIFIED.
This state ment removes the blanks at the beginning....
The wf_cu may be of curr type

Problem with Data Separation in SOLMAN 71.

We are using Data Separation in SOLMAN 7.1 SPS10 to control the Solutions that our customers can work with in MOPZ. It works fine in most cases, but we have found some customers that can see the right Solution but, when they search for the associated product versions with the match code, no product appears. We have also found that, if we try to access these product systems from SMSY, no system appears. Taking a look at the product systems with LMDB, the field Business Partner (customer) is empty. I think it is the reason why the systems do not show. But I have tried to change it in the LMDB but, although it lets me assign the correct Partner and save it but, when I close the LMDB and call it again, the field is empty. It seems as if the change was not saved. I have tried to do it also with data separation inactive but, in this case, the field does not even appear in the LMDB. Maybe it has to be changed somewhere else, not here. Has anybody had this problem? Any help wil be appreciated.
Best regards,
Jose

Hola Lluis,
I have applied the note that you suggested, but it did not solve the problem. It is strange because, in the Product System Editor, when I add the BP and save, if I go back to the LMDB initial screen and select again the same system, or even a different system, and then go back to the one I have modified, it still shows the right BP. But once I close the LMDB windows and call it again, the BP has disappeared.
Thanks anyway for your help,
Jose

Problems with film separation

When I run the same job the film using CS5 or CVS4 the film separation is differently. The screens aren't the same, It looks like the is a profile that effects the film while running using CS5. I have check and under Color setting -Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profile) is selected in CS5. I have saved thge image in Photoshop with "Embed color Profile" selected and deselected. I have changed the profile to the usual U.S. Web Coated. I am out of ideas, any suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks

CS4 color setting click on save
CS5 load the .csf file you saved
That will eliminate color settings as part of the problem, but somehting else may be the cause.
Without seeing what the area of you artwork look like there are too many other possibilities: transparency flattening, doc ras effect setting, is it in your rip or in the file. How are you saving and ripping your files? What is different about the screens the density, rotation, dot shape.

Cannot format the number

I have a problem to make the number formatted to 2 points.
This is the code i use and i expect to get iQ = 0.13 instead of 0.133 using codes below. What is my syntax arror actually?
Could anybody tell me?
NumberFormat nf;
nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(2);
nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(2);
String iQ = nf.format(iQuan);
System.out.println("iQ :"+iQ);
Thanks alot.

You used setMaximumIntegerDigits and setMinimumIntegerDigits which is for limiting the number of numbers before the ' .' . to limit the number after the '.' you have to use
setMinimumFractionDigits and setMaximumFractionDigits
<code>
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(1);
nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(1);
nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(1);
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
double iQuan = 0.1333;
String iQ = nf.format(iQuan);
System.out.println("iQ :"+iQ);
<code>
Which prints: iQ :0.13

Sender File Adapter - Problem with field separator

Hi,
I want to upload a CSV file into XI.
The file contains a text part which uses from time to time quotation marks like this:
SD,575757,383838,N/A,XYZ,"This is a text part",7676
But besides there are lines like this:
SD,575757,777722,N/A,XDE,FREETEXT,7575
Has anyone any idea how to configure the file adapter to get it recognize the quotation marks not as field separator?
I've already tried the enclosureSign parameters but that leads to an total unconverted line.
Is it maybe possible to customize two field separators like this:
Structure.fieldSeparator - ,"
Thanks for any answer,
Christina

No, it doesn't work.
I've specified now:
Structure.fieldSeparator        ,
Structure.enclosureSign         "
Structure.enclosureSignEscape   ""
Every line without quotation marks is converted fine. Lines with quotation marks stay like in the original CSV file and the whole line is put into one XML tag (still comma separated).
Also the parameter fieldContentFormatting - nothing doesn't make a difference.
Other ideas?

Problem with decimal separator

How to change default settings for decimal and group separators?
Example:
- 10g database
- APEX v.3.1.2.00.02
0.00: S H O W: application="1" page="6" workspace="" request="" session="1327891581523707"
0.00: Language derived from: FLOW_PRIMARY_LANGUAGE, current browser language: hr
0.01: alter session set nls_language="*CROATIAN*"
0.01: alter session set nls_territory="*CROATIA*"
0.01: NLS: CSV charset=*EE8MSWIN1250*
*0.01: ...NLS: Set Decimal separator="."*
*0.01: ...NLS: Set NLS Group separator=","*
- 11g database
- APEX v.3.1.2.00.02
0.00: S H O W: application="1" page="6" workspace="" request="" session="124256584707880"
0.00: Language derived from: FLOW_PRIMARY_LANGUAGE, current browser language: hr
0.00: alter session set nls_language="*CROATIAN*"
0.00: alter session set nls_territory="*CROATIA*"
0.00: NLS: CSV charset=*EE8MSWIN1250*
*0.00: ...NLS: Set Decimal separator=","*
*0.00: ...NLS: Set NLS Group separator="."*
Both applications are same and in both applications Application Primary Language globalization attribute is set to Croatian (hr) but I'm getting different decimal and group separators.
Querying v$nls_parameters view I saw that, in first case NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameters are set same on database and apex ('.,') but in second case they are different. On database is '.,' but on apex application ',.'
Why?
Please help!

Make changes in the regional configurations of your PC.
Maybe its solve your problem.

Receiver File content conversion problem with newline separator

Hello Experts,
My scenario is IDOC To file..At output we are generating an csv file wherein we have got records in new line.
somethng like these..
ITEM1,ITEM2,ITEM3
ITEM1.ITEM2,ITEM3.
But when i open these csv file using notepad,we are getting records in same line.
i.e item1,item2,item3item1,item2,item3
Also we have specify in FCC,endseparator value as 'nl'
My target structure is somethng like these,
MT_PRODUCT_MASTER
   -Product master
      -item1
      -item2
Pleasee advise.

What is exactly parameter that you have set on channel?
endSeparator = 'nl'
NameA.endSeparator
If you enter a character string here, the system adds it to the last column as a closing character. You can also make this specification in addition to NameA.fieldFixedLengths. To include a line break following the closing character, you must explicitly define it by attaching ´nl´ (including the quotation marks) to the string.

Problem with time separator and other separators

When trying to browse a java-based website (ok, trying to play java games.. :P), the time separators go wrong. That is to say, instead of the separator, the browser shows <* separator>. For example, if the game is supposed to show time 1.12 it give 1<time separator minute>12
I find this rather annoying, and would be very grateful, if someone gave me advice. Thx already

Contact the game provider.

Problem with Diagram Scale

Hello,
first I have to say I tried my best, but I couldn't find any solution for this problem.
I created a table with two components: variable x and y. Then i turned it into a vertical grouped bar chart and I got this result
http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2050/26012png.png
Because I ddin't want these point numbers I formatted the number into integer. Now I got this result.
http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6647/2601.png
Why does it show each number twice or more? I just wanted to have 0 1 2 3 (etc.) to see.
Where is my mistake? I've done everything I could get out of my knowldge.
Please help me, I don't know what to do...
Greetings
Khaleesi

hi,
Please keep the Y-axis > Values > Number Format as default only.
But if you are sure about maximum value on Y-axis then below steps will solve the issue.
Y-axis > Scale >
Auto scale (Uncheck)
Min. value = 0
Max. value = 3 (You can set this to your maximum Y-axis value if range is known)
Logarithmic (Uncheck)
Duplicates will not occur. Only numbers will appear without decimal.

Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

Hello together!
I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
That means,
1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
What's wrong?
Do I have to change any country parameter?
Juliane

I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. Names appeared on the phone screen but not MMI screen. Cannot dial by contact info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones

My iPhone 4S not compatible with 2008 Q7 Audi MMI. Now only phone numbers come up on screen, no name. When someone calls, only the number appears on the MMI screen, not their name or whether they called from their office/home etc..   Same with missed calls, dialed numbers etc.. Names appeared on the screen of the phone, but not on MMI screen. Cannot dial by searching contact and name info while driving anymore. Never had this problem with previous iPhones. Is this an Apple issue or Audi issue? Anyone with this problem? Help!

NIGHTMARE Finally Ends, after nearly two weeks.
After trying for over a week trying to get my replacement iPhone 4S to activate, I ended up driving 110+ miles to an Apple Store to get a second replacement, which had been specially shipped there for me. Popped in the SIM card, went through the setup and I finally have an iPhone 4S that works, at least for the time being.
Advice to others who find themselves in this situation:
     1)     If you get these messages (see original post), the phone is bad. Demand a replacement.
     2)     If the AppleCare tech advises that the Apple Agreement Administration team is investigating, you'll be waiting for a week or more for them to complete it. Demand a replacement immediately, don't let them put you off indefinitely.
After the initial phone call documented in my original post, I was in daily contact, phone & e-mail, with the AppleCare tech trying to figure out the problem, and we tried everything, from forced restore's to switching SIM cards, conferencing w/ AT&T, etc. It seems that this was a case of first impression to Apple, but if it wasn't, then the problem is not well documented or known by those who should know, and for that, the blame should be on Apple, not the AppleCare tech who worked tirelessly trying to figure out a solution--I'd send him a case of beer if I knew where to send it.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Cannot format my iMac. Problem with partition's file

I cannot format my iMac because Disk Utility sends an error: The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system. Any suggestions?

The problem began when the Time machine excluded my home folder of the backup. I could not include it again in the process (not in system preferences, nor anything else), so I decided to format the HD and make a fresh install of OSX Mavericks. I could not do this because Disk Utility cannot unmount the partition when formatting the HD, and the error arose. I simply cannot fix this, and before giving up and take it to a Mac repair shop, I would like to try by myself.
