Showing Positive Sign as Number Format

Hi all,
Is it possible to set the number format (custom format) to show the positive numbers with positive sign (+) in front of the number (for example, +2, +2.3, +0.0, etc).
I don't want to have to cast the number as string and do a concatenation. So, is it possible to do that using a custom number format?
Thanks a lot!

Yess it is possible....
Go to Column Propoerites -> Conditionla Format - > Add Condition
If seleted measure is greater than or equal to 0
then Edit format will open . In that goto -> Data Format -> Check on Override Default Data Format -> Select Custom
Then add this +##,###,###
Thanks and Regards,
Fiaz

Number Format Model (Percent Sign)

Hi all,
I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me with a Number Formatting issue I'm experiencing using APEX 3.0.1.
I have a report display a financial amount and a percentage column and I want to display totals for both these columns with appropriate signs - local currency for fiscal amounts and percentage sign (%) for the percent column.
The financial column is easy as it is included in the seeded number formats available but I don't believe there is a format modifier for the % sign. I have achieved displaying the percentage sign at individual row level by adding #PERCENT#% to the HTML Expression of the Report Column Attribute.
......    <Fin Col>   <% Col>
        $1,230.00          0.01%
            $30.55         15.00%
        $1,000.00          3.00%
        $2,263.55          18.01 <-- Missing % sign in sum row
However the percentage sign does not appear in the calculated sum total row.
Doing a TO_CHAR in the actual SQL Query for the percentage column means that the sum row always returns 0 (zero).
Does anyone know how I'd be able to achieve the formatting at a sum row level for the percentage column?
Kind Regards,
Gary.

You mixed both expression in a format.
G- comma(,)
D- decimal (.)

select to_char(9693.256,'$0G000.000') from dual;that should be either of this way
select to_char(9693.256,'$0G000D000') from dual;or
select to_char(9693.256,'$0,000.000') from dual;i hope you could understand.

Number format issue

I just set up my computer to use the Argentine region to display dates, numbers, times, meassures, etc. The problem is that MS-Excel continues to display the comma to separate thousands instead of periods (i.e: 1,056 instead of 1.056) and this is causing me troubles with calculations. Isn't Mac OS X supposed to handle the number format across the system? or does Exel has a mind of its own when it comes to formatting numbers?
Thanks

Microsoft always has marched to the beat of their own drummer but I found this in the Excel help that seems to indicate they are at least trying to do things right. Check the Notes section at the end.
===============
• Format values in euro currency style
Use this procedure to apply a euro currency style to the selected cells. If the cells you want to format contain non-euro values, you instead need to convert the values to euros by using the EUROCONVERT function.
To use the EUROCONVERT function, you must select the Euro Currency Tool check box on the Add-ins dialog box (Tools menu, Add-ins command). If you do not see Euro Currency Tool listed in the Add-ins dialog box, then you must install the Excel Add-ins component, and then quit and restart Excel. For step 5 (Installation) of the Setup Assistant, expand Office Tools by clicking the arrow next to it, and then select the Excel Add-ins check box.
1. To display the Formatting toolbar, click View, point to Toolbars, and then click Formatting.
2. If you don't see the Euro Style button on the Formatting toolbar, click Preferences on the Excel menu, click Edit, and then select the Show Euro tool check box.
3. Select the cells that you want to format as euro currency style.
4. Click the Euro Style button.
Notes
• If you want to type the euro sign () in a cell, you can do so on a U.S. keyboard by pressing SHIFTOPTION2.
• The settings on the Formats or Numbers tab on the International pane (System Preferences) determine the position of the euro sign (that is, whether the symbol appears before or after the number and whether a space separates the symbol and the number), as well as the decimal symbol and the thousands separator.

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.

How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements.
I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers. We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue. The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?
If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
Option 1:
- Select the cells for which you want to do this.
- Display the ruler.
- Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
- Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
Option 2:
- Select the cells for which you want to do this.
- Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
- Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
- Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
- Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
- Click Set.
- Click OK.
You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

GL Account Line Items-Qty Field not showing credit sign for credit postings

The instance is ECC 6.0
We are using new GL.
The issue is happening for WA doc types. For the credit postings, the Qty is not coming with the credit sign(-) in the line items details report (FAGLL03) for the GL account. When the same document is displayed via FB03, the QTY is having a credit sign(-).
Can someone tell if this is something that is controlled at the layout level for the QTY field and if I can change it so credit entries show with sign?.

Hi,
The quantity will not come with negative sign in FAGLL03.
Whether the quantity is positive or negative is determined using the posting key or debit/ credit indicatior.
You can not change this standad setting. You can change your layout to sort based on debit/ credit indicator.

Number format issue - comma (1,5) instead of period (1.5) before decimals?

I am using an input field of data type Number. In Norway we use a comma before decimals. I can't get this to work in VC. Have tried to set Number format with 'Local format' checked but this is not helping. (even if my portal is showing Norwegian texts as supposed by the language setting)
If I uncheck this and go to Custom formatting I get to set my own format. NSTR(@OPERATORER_N, ".2") gives me two decimals but with a period as the decimal point. NSTR(@OPERATORER_N, ",2") does not work.
I do not want thousands separator.
Tips?

Contact names not showing in messages, only number

nokia 6121 no names will show when ringing or recieving texts so I dont know who they are from etc, very frustrating, how do I change it to show the contact name not number? I cant find any settings to help me? thanks

Hi, In such case, try to check the things below:
1> Make sure all contacts are stored in unique memory : sim or phone memory (recommend phone memory)
2> Try to avoid 1 contacts has few numbers and other case, similar or same names for fews contacts
3> Add your country code into the normal number format, eg: 0123455678 --> saved as +60 12345678 (+60 is the country code for MY)
4> Check the settings under Contacts folder: Contacts > Settings > Contact view or Display contacts > try to change Last name/ First name view option one by one

Own number format Y-Axis (value divided by 1000)

Hello everybody,
in WebI I have a quite simple chart.
In Y-Axis I show the values. How can I divide these values divided by 1000?
I have found the advanced format menu. But don't know the syntax how to make my own number format for this.
So for Example my value shown now is: 15.900.000 but it should be 15.900,00
Any workaround is welcome. But I would prefer not to touch the Universe and stay in WebI.
best regards Harry

Hi Harry,
There is no functionality to create a Custom Format Number and

Cost Center Report : Revaluation at actual prices - credit but positive sign

Hi Experts,
Great day!
I just want to know the cause of the following unsual behavior of the system. The credit part of the cost center report is blank/zero and when you double-click the actual line items, it shows that the revaluation at actual prices are positive sign. By clicking an item further, the report will direct me to the CO document to investigate what happened. I found out that the sender - Activity revaluates the price for the receiver - Production Order.
I looked at the details of the sender - Activity and I found out that the debit/credit indicator is "C" but the sign is positive.
Your immediate help will be rewarded.
Thank you!
Here's the cost center report:
I am expecting the credit part to have a value right after I executed the "Actual Cost Splitting" at T-code: KSS2
Here's the unsual behavior:
Dr/Cr indicator is "C' but the value at Controlling Area Currency is in a positive sign.
Again, thank you!

Hi Dryan
Revaluations are posted to CC after you do CON2 and not KSS2
1. Did you do CON2 and revaluate the Prod orders with actual activity price?
2. Ensure that revaluation is allowed in Plan Version 0 for FY 2014
3. Also, check your activity price calculated in KSII... Revalaution is a result of the actual activity Price (x) Activity Hrs confirmed in Prod order
4. Check the hrs confirmed in the Production order.. They should be +ve as well

Phone number format edit

Hello everyone, i have a problem with my iPhone 4S. I'm from Romania so it's not a verizon problem only... When a person in my contact list is calling me it only shows the numer of the caller not the ID, but after i hang-up and go to call history it shows the ID. I tried to put +4 in front of the number but now when someone is calling it shows the ID but in call history it shows the phone number. The phone is Jailbroken so if there is any solution what requires a jailbroken phone i am happy to try it out. The format region is on Romania and the International Assist is OFF. I tried as many things i could find on the internet about this but still can't figure it out. Can you guys help me? My firmware is 5.1.1 and i DON'T want to upgrade to 6 because i use a gevey sim card to unlock it, so anything else that can help ?

Thanks, indeed. I had my Phone language set to "English (United States)" . I never thought that this would change the number format. I changed it to English and now it's ok.
+ it stopped with that annoying correction while i'm writing text.
So double thanks

Again: Number Format, Decimals in calculated fields

My customer wants to know how he can have calculated fields in his reports.
I've found out that e.g. this works for the calculation:
<?format-number:((SALARY) div (../../DEPTSAL));'#,##0.00'?>
But there is no way that I can get a precision of two decimals. All given formats are ignored.
Maybe this is an issue with the european decimal sign , (Comma).
How is this to be fixed?
The use of the translate function was recommended somewhere. I have no idea how to bring it together with my calculation formula.
Thanks in advance,
Kai

Hi kai,
First you need to remove comma from your amount field then you can get your result.
If you have any comma in your amount field then xml number format does not work.

Luxembourg phone number formatting in iOS = 4.0

Hello,
Since upgrading to iOS 4, phone numbers here in Luxembourg are no longer displayed in a readable way, the formatting is incorrect.
Example : the correct phone number 26 52 26 52 would be displayed as 2 652 2652. That's bizarre, not logical and not readable. The first digit is not a prefix, it makes no sense at all to group phone numbers as # ### ####. You could show it in blocks of 2 or 4 (3 would be a bad choice because numbers are usually 6 or 8 digits).
Is this a know bug ? In MacOS you can define your own number formats in the address book, but that's obviously not possible in the iPhone.
Pascal

Yes, Region Format is set to Luxembourg. Language is set to English. I should have mentioned that my wife and my friends have exactly the same issue with their iPhones.
