Entry number Format question

I want to restrict a body of numbers to two digits.

I can do in sizing the text field and check 'length limit to the visible area' in the field properties.

Otherwise, I can define a model num {99}.  However, if I do this, so if someone between a word character, it converts it to a zero!  This is less preferable to the first option, where if someone enters an alphabetic character it just beeps and won't let them in.

Unfortunately, using the size of the field is not always a convenient way to specify the format of my field.  Firstly, I do not use a fixed width font, so more long fields with many numbers maybe isn't able to be precisely limited to specific number lengths, since 11111111 takes different space than 888888888.  Also, it is sometimes easier (for aesthetic reasons) to have the size of the field not determined by my desired number length.  Is there a way to the two length of field limit and prevent the alpha entries of turns into zeros, without relying on the property "limit the length of the visible area"?

Thank you

Of course it is. You can make the field a decimal field by selecting the field, then choosing "Decimal field" in the "Type" dropdown at the top of the 'Field' tab in the "palette of the object. And then, just below the "Patterns" button in this menu, you can check the box "Limit leading Digits" and insert 2 in the 'Max' box, then uncheck the 'Limit Trailing Digits'.

  • Column/data varchar but req number formatting when digital.

    Hello

    I wrote some sql to retrieve data from our Oracle database.

    Number formatting is a bit unfortunate.

    The column reads:

    1 000 000

    0.010

    1 000

    0.0009

    9999999.000

    -

    null

    > NWG

    If its not all of the numbers, but if it is a number, I need to correctly format i.e.

    without decimal places if they are just led 0

    I hope that there is a regular expression that I can use to format numbers ignoring the character entries.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Whenever you have a question, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and the accurate results you want from this data, so that people who want to help you can recreate the problem and test their ideas.

    Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

    Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

    See the FAQ forum: Re: 2. How can I ask a question on the forums?

    What do you mean by "if it's a number"?  The following could all be considered numbers:

    • -1
    • -1.2E + 3
    • $9,987,54
    • 123 456,7
    • 3/4

    Depending on what you consider a 'number', you can use expressions regular, perhaps combined with other string manipulation functions, like to TRANSLATE.

    You can consider a function defined by the user who tries to convert it to a NUMBER, but never to raise an error.  See How to determine if a Varchar2 string has characters from a to z?

    Which type of formatting you want for the numbers?  You said that you don't want to end ' 0 decimal, but how about a trailing decimal point?  When you post the sample data and results, examples of all individual cases, you want to manage.

    You may need TO_CHAR and then some channel, for example, RTRIM or REGEXP_REPLACE mainpulation functions.

    As you realize you probably now, it's a really bad design.  You let people in chains that may or may not represent the numbers, then, much later, trying to guess the whehter they meant it to be number, and if so which COMP.  Guess, isn't a very good way to solve problems.  The person who knows the data if it is a number or not - make him tell you at the point where it enters the number.  For example, instead of having 1 VARHCAR2 column, you may have 2 columns (a VARCHAR2 and a NUMBER) and a CHECK constraint that requires at least 1 of them to be null.

  • Where that we manage for the display and entry date formats

    the specification of the user that is displayed as DD-MON-YYYY dates. Is there a config or properties file that contains the date format for display? Is there a drop down calendar which can be positioned next to an input field to date for a question on a screen?
    Thank you
    Allan

    Hi Allan,

    Just had a look at this takeover bid 10.1 on my machine.

    I noticed that for an attribute date as on a screen, when you use Input type = Year, Month and Day edits (in the file screens), it seems to display the three drop-down lists in the same order (day, month, year), regardless of what's been defined in the configuration line "input-date-formats" in messages. file .properties (locale).

    However, I was not sure of your email if the DD-MON-YYYY format was necessary for the entriesto date, or just for the display of date output. If the latter, then using the following in your messages. (place) .properties file...

    output-date-format = yyyy-MMM-dd
    

    ... will translate dates displayed like this: 1980-Jan-27

    To force the OWD to accept only dates of entry of user in the format '1980-Jan-27' then you can edit the line input-date-formats of configuration:

    input-date-formats = yyyy-MMM-dd
    

    ... However, it is rare to restrict the dates of entry into a single format. As you will see in the messages. (locale) .properties file entry-date-formats is set to a combination of common entry to the regional settings date formats, in addition to the ISO international date format (YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 1980-01-27).

    See you soon,.

  • I'm looking for a list of commands/syntax for number formatting. Example of ^ 1, ^ #, ^ t, etc...

    I'm trying to find a list of command/syntax that can be used in number formatting (bullets and numbering - style - dial number field).  I found a few examples, but I keep a list of available commands.  I searched, but was unable to find it.  Presumably, I'm using the wrong search terms.

    I don't think, because these are only a few. In the automatic numbering of the paragraph style settings dialog box, you have a drop down menu where you can select the formats that are then entered in the form of these shortcuts.

  • Custom number format function does not return 0 in decimal form

    Hello

    My custom number formatting feature does not work. It was working fine when the site has a standard client server architecture. However, when we changed using the REST API with javascript and HTML 5 function works for most except in cases when I need it displays 0 for decimal numbers.

    Basically, the function accepts arguments a number and the number of decimals and returns the number rounded the number of decimals. Below, I've stripped naked function minimum, even I was testing.

    < cffunction = "dispCostPeriod" access = "remote" returntype = "string" output = "false" hint = "name costs for a specified period at the user" >

    < name cfargument = "in_decCost" type = "numeric" required = "yes" / >

    < name cfargument = "in_iRound" type = "numeric" required = "yes" / >

    < cfset decRoundedNum = NumberFormat (in_decCost, "_" & RepeatString("9",in_iRound)) >

    < cfreturn decRoundedNum / >

    < / cffunction >

    When I pass 55.00089 and 3, the function returns 55.001.

    When I was 55 or 55.000000 or 55.0000089 and 3, the function returns 55

    . And I need to 55,000.

    I tried both for returntype 'string' and 'digital', various masks as _.999, _.000, _. ___.

    I tried NumberFormat (in_decCost, "_.000") straight back.

    Nothing works.

    I use CF10 on Windows Server 2008.

    Any help much appreciated.

  • Showing the positive sign as the number Format

    Hi all

    Is it possible to set the number format (custom format) to show the positive with the positive (+) sign numbers in front of the number (for example, + 2, + 2.3 + 0,0, etc.).

    I don't want to ride the number as a string and perform a concatenation. So, is it possible to do this using a custom number format?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    You can try to use the custom format and specify as below:

  • Number format not valid in the data transfer Assistant

    I'm trying to download data from a CSV file in a table via the download data wizard. However, it always seems to fail on some lines with an error "invalid number format". Even if I stick one of these lines in the wizard, it still does not work. There is nothing wrong with the data, and I can do a regular insert Toad with no problems.

    The data are:
    28126238,101, RM, 29/01/2011

    The table looks like this:
    CREATE TABLE STR_PROD_UPLOAD
    (
    NUMBER OF PROD_CD,
    NUMBER OF STORE_CD
    CHARACTER VARCHAR2 (10 BYTE),
    DATE OF REPL_START_DT
    )

    It works very well on Toad:
    INSERT INTO STR_PROD_UPLOAD)
    STORE_CD,
    PROD_CD, line, repl_start_dt)
    VALUES (to_number('101'), to_number('28126238'), 'RM', to_date('1/29/2011','MM/DD/YYYY'));

    Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong or how I can go about the matter of finding?

    FYI - evolution STORE_CD of a varchar2 and PROD_CD solves the problem, but I would like to know if it is possible to solve this problem for later use.

    Thx John

    Hi John,.

    For some reason, I get the same error. However with the download of the data, you can still provide you own number format in the case where the application could not a defined automatically. In your case, using Date / field number Format (for example: 99999999) will force the system to use the supplied format.

  • Number of numbers separated from practice quiz on "Number of Questions"

    I have a program that has a practice (4 questions) and a final quiz (25 questions). They have been developed both slides in question, but I would like to only the section final quiz score report. I put question 4 in the practice section to score 0 and unaware, but before the end of the final quiz, the total number of questions shows that 29 (25 + 4 quiz practices).

    I so create a false text box saying "many Questions: 25" to fool users, but I can't ask that even cheat solution to the "correct Questions. The number is not editable through JavaScript files in the SCORM package...

    A similar question was posted here a year ago with no solution to it. I wonder if something has changed since then and if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

    Here is a picture of my screen with the fake text box saying total issue is 25. The score is again properly (4 points each and with 24 correct on 25, gets the user 96 points). But the correct questions showed that 28 of the 29 (25 + 4).

    Hello

    There is no way to change the system variables such as the number of questions. If you, like me, it would be really interesting to have such a control fill a feature request (did ask about it already myself).

    For now, the only solution I see and use myself, creates no-to-be-scored questions using standard and interactive objects and advanced actions (e.g. to show your comments). Because these issues do not have to be striped or reported, Quiz system variables will then contain the good values for the final Quiz created with Question slides. If you want to view results, the 'partition' slide may also be created with these objects and advanced actions.

    The thread, you said it, was also for CP4, nothing has changed since. And I'm sorry, but also in the soon that will be launched in the next version (CP5) there is no way to change the system of variable Quiz AFAIK.
