Removing commas from numbers

his has a couple of items in it....
In Numbers, I formatted a phone number column imported from a Text file, but it put in commas, like the phone is a number: 4157933161 is 4,157,933,161. Can I get rid of those commas?
Also, I couldn't import a .txt file (a mailing list from Experian) into Numbers. When I did open the file with Numbers, Numbers put it all in 1 cell - yikes. So I had to go back to my old pc, import the .txt file (easily...) and then take that .xls file and load it on my MAC in Numbers - good golly you have got to be kidding. What am I missing. How do I import a .txt file (it actually is comma seperated but marked as an .txt file - MS Excel had no problem)
This has to do with printing Pages or say pages from the Web. Can you print just a selection of say a Pages doc. Say I select /highlight one paragraph of a 50 page document and want to just print that, on MS in the Print page there is a box "selection" which commands the printer to only print what you selected/highlighted. Customer Care at Apple said he did not know of anyway to do this...yikes again.

Find / Replace is your friend.
Find "," Replace by nothing.

Comma Separated Values files are correctly treated if their name extension is .csv.

He is perfectly right. There is no such feature.
As we may print a given range of pages it's not a true problem.
We may insert temporary page breaks to do the trick.
And of course, if you prefer MS you may stay with it !

Removing commas from report result

Hello gurus,
Is there a way to remove commas from data values in the BEx reports?
I used NODIM() to remove $ signs and units. We need to remove the commas as well.
Thank you,
Malli

hi,
in query properities you should have option to show unit on the top of column only and in key figure properities should be option to choose how many decimal spaces you want to be visible on report (this option you have in rsa1 -> infoobjects -> your key figure -> BEx reporting tab)

Removing commas from on address line!!

I need to remove comma's from an address field:
substr(s_claim_periods.latest_prop_addr(CLAIMS.cla_refno),1,255) AS D,
i have tried my usual method of
translate (CONTACT_ADDRESS, ',' ,' ')
but im having problems incorporating it with the substr command!!

you could also use replace
replace (adr, ',')as in
SQL> with test as
2 (select 'address,address,address,address,address' adr from dual
3 )
4 -- End of Testdata; here is the actual query:
5 select adr
6       , replace (adr, ',')
7    from test
8 /
ADR                                     REPLACE(ADR,',')

REPLACE statement removing commas from a money convert... I do NOT want it to do this

I am using a case statement to remove the '-' from a negative number and place a '(' there instead.
The negative side of the CASE statement is as follows:
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, SUM(Begin_Balance)), 1), '-', '(') + ')'
The positive side is:
CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, SUM(Begin_Balance)), 1)
The data output for the positive portion is 100% correct. Here is an example of the output I receive.
(18271.15)
(25000.00)
82,490.00
45,000.00
Why is the replace statement stripping my commas?

>> I am using a case statement to remove the '-' from a negative number and place a '(' there instead. <<
So many horrible fundamental errors in one sentence!
1. CASE is an expression, not a statement. An expression returns a scalar value of a known data type, A statement changes the schema.
2. In SQL, all display formatting is done in a presentation layer, never in the database.
3. We use the ANSI/ISO Standard CAST() and not the old Sybase/Unix CONVERT today
4. We use DECIMAL() and not the old Sybase/Unix MONEY. This thing does not work; it fail to do correct math; Google it! Do a data audit and see if you can go to jail for this.
5. SQL is not COBOL. The COBOL language treats all data as strings. STOP DOING THAT IN SQL! This language uses abstraction in the database and the presentation does the job that your old PICTURE clause used to do.

Removing comma (,) from string

Hello Friends,
I have a string something of this nature
Sting : ',3456,45454,,45454,'
Need to have just comma seperated value : '3456,45454,45454'
Tried with replace but getting - '34564545445454'
select replace ( ltrim(RTRIM(replace(',3456,45454,,45454,', ',,', ','),',')),',', '') from dual;
Appreciate your help .
Thanks/Kumar

If so:
LTRIM (string, ',')LTRIM removes the given character(s) from the <b>L</b>eft side (that is, the beginning) of string. That's all you want here. (Was your string generated by SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH? This is a very common problem.)
RTRIM removes the given character(s) from the <b>R</b>ight side (that is, the end) of string. I don't think you want that; you certainly don;'t need it in the example you gave.
REPLACE removes the given characters anywhere in the string. You definitely don't want that. If you did, there would be no point in also using LTRIM or RTRIM.

Check whether TRANSLATE statement works for you

In single quote use comma followed by a space after that use CONDENSE xvbap-kwmeng NO-GAPS.

Removing Comma (,) from Year Formatting

Hello,
I'm attempting to generate a text string that corresponds to a given year. However, when I convert to text from the number format, the result includes a comma:
the date's year = Text(ExtractYear(today's date)) -> "2,011"
1. Does anyone know how to prevent the comma in the text attribute, so that I'll get "2011" rather than "2,011"?
2. Similarly, I'd also like to know how to format the decision report so that the number variable (the output of 'ExtractYear') also does not appear with a comma.
Thanks in advance,
- Patrick

This has been raised internally as OPAD-4226, so we are looking at it for a future release.
This is a formatting issue - ie. all numbers are formatted as if they are actual numbers, but of course years have their own convention. A custom format (eg. in Web Determinations) could format without the comma but it would apply to all numeric attributes. Custom code could also be used to apply the non-comma format only to certain attributes you specify, but it's not an out-of-the-box option.

Removing Commas and Spaces from Field

I have a table called TableD1 in a database with a field called "Range".
The ranges are like 1-1000; 1001-2000; etc. up to like 1000000-200000.
That is how they are supposed to look, they are not numeric fields, just general, containing a low, a dash and a high all in the same field.
I just discovered that quite a few of the entries have included commas and spaces, like 1-1,000 or 100000 - 200000.
I need to write a Query that will remove all of the commas from the data in TableD1's "Range" field, then all of the spaces.
I imagine they are some kind of Update statements but because of the potential to blow up the whole thing, I'm reluctant to experiment.
Does anyone know what code I should use?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Gee

Making sure you've taken a backup. Pull the data into temp table and do the testing. once you satisfied with the output then do the update on the main table.
create table #temp
Range varchar(100)
insert into #temp values('1-1,000'),('100000 - 200000')
select replace(replace(Range,',',''),' ','') from #temp
--update #temp set Range=replace(replace(Range,',',''),' ','')
Validate the the output of the select statement.
