Sorting numbers stored as text

Business1 stores ItemCode as an alphanumeric, which makes sense. But we only ever use numbers, so when I try to sort a report by ItemCode, or select a range by ItemCode I get things like this:
4100
41001
4101
4102
42001
42003
42004
4201
Can I get CR to treat these as numbers, and sort/select them as numbers?

Hi Stuart,
    try to use any one formula given below , and try to short on this formula field
       1] right("00000000" & ,10)
                           or
       2] toNumber()
You can suppress this field,so it will not be visible to the user
Regard's

"Numbers stored as text" error in Excel when I schedule a report

Dear all,
When I schedule a report, I got a "Numbers stored as text" error in Excel.
But when I save as xls directly from webI, I have no error in the excel sheet.
So, is it a bug ? I have the BO XI 4.0 version.
Or is there a special option to set concerning schedule ?
Mike.

Hi,
First check the object data type in webi. Normally this error will come when object/variable data type is Text in the report.
If you are getting this error with object data type number then add 0 in the object and see.
Like =[Object] + 0
It will force the value to be converted in the number.

Amit

Sorting numbers stored in variables

I'm completely new at java and would like some help with a certain problem.
I have 5 numbers, num1, num2, num3, num4, and num5.
I have them stored in variables as listed. I'd like to know, is there a way to sort them using array.sort or would I have to use another method?

I have 5 numbers, num1, num2, num3, num4, and num5.
I have them stored in variables as listed. Are you saying you have 5 different ints declared like
int num1, num2, etc.or an int[] with length 5?
I'd like
to know, is there a way to sort them using array.sort
or would I have to use another method?If they are stored in an array you can use http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Arrays.html#sort(int[])
to sort them.

Sorting Numbers stored in variables....using if/else

Hey there, I'm curious, how would you sort 3 integers using only five if's and five elses and no other operators besides a < (less than) operator? Some help would be much appreciated! thanks. ishan

well with the topic i brought back there, didnt
really follow the boolean, and i couldnt figure out a
way to simply use only if's elses' and > rather than
using boolean, and what not.. like for integer a, b,
c; would i go into the possible permutations and
start from there? not sure how to go about it..You will need to put them in an array or List. Then you can quicksort them.
Hmmm let me think....
if
length<2 return
choose pivot
if less than pivot
put in left bucket
else
put in right bucket
recurse left bucket
recurse right bucket
returnThat's 2 if's and one else.

Number stored as text

Hi~
when write a table to MS Excel, the number all stored as text as you can see green flag on left top corner of each cell, this is cause the fomula in upper cell un-workable.
the code that used to write excel as below:
have you even seen this before? pls advice, thx!

Hi ELI,
but in this way we waste much time to write excel, bcs the table was written to cell one by one.
Nobody mentioned to write cell by cell. You still can write full columns or even 2d arrays of data - you just have to separate strings from numbers!
can we solve this error in LabVIEW? with activeX..
There is no error in LabVIEW. And there is no error in Excel. It's an error in your programming!
By now you got two different solutions presented, how much more do you need?
I thought you learned a lesson by now. But you still feed us with breadcrumbs of information with each of your posts: Now you bring the execution time into play…

How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
Thank you!

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

How do I add a list of numbers stored in an array

How do I add a list of numbers stored in an array? The code I
have is showing ‘NaN’ when I try to add the second item
in each element of the array:
var aItemPrices:Array = new Array(["item1_mc", 10], ["item
2_mc", 20], ["item 3_mc", 30]);
var totalPrice:Number;
for (i=0; i<aItemPrices.length; i++) {
//the following line traces 'NaN'
totalPrice += aItemPrices
[1];
trace("totalPrice: "+ totalPrice);

i modified your code in 2 places, check it
var aItemPrices:Array = new Array(["item1_mc", 10], ["item
2_mc", 20], ["item 3_mc", 30]);
var totalPrice:Number=0; //Mani changes
for (i=0; i<aItemPrices.length; i++) {
//the following line traces 'NaN'
totalPrice += aItemPrices
[1];//Mani changes
trace("totalPrice: "+ totalPrice);

Report displaying numbers instead of text.

Hello Everyone,
We have a planning application. I created a smartview report for employees, their hiring justification and man months. I tried to create a this report through by connecting to essbase server. In the report, I got random numbers for the text data (like 1431 for hiring justification of an employee). Later I found out that the text data was loaded through smartview to planning server, and not to Essbase server. Thats probably the reason I am seeing (Indexes) numbers for text fields.
Is there a way to still generate the report from essbase server, or do we have to load that data to essbase app of the planning application ?

As Jogn said you would have to use the planning connection. The smart lists used in planning are not in Essbase. Essbase stores the smartlist ID number not the text value.

Sorting numbers Zen Mozaic EZ 100

!Sorting numbers Zen Mozaic EZ 00= Hi, I have a Creative Zen Mozaic EZ 00, and I use this player primary for Audiobook.
I have a problem when I transfer more than book to my player.

When I use the Albums, alle the files are not sorted, why isn't is sorted using the filename.

The only solution I have found, is using all tracks, here the files are sorted in filename order.
?
How do I sort the files in folders or Albums.
?
Kind regards,

Hi,
Did you transfer the audiobook using Audible Manager?
