So something like:
format="0,0.00"
will always round and display 2 decimal places.
What is the pattern that I need to assign to format in order to get it to display only whole numbers?
Use format = '0a', you can see the whole documentation here.

I have tens of thousands of rows of unstructured data in csv format. I need to extract certain product attributes from a long string of text. Given a set of acceptable attributes, if there is a match, I need it to fill in the cell with the match.
Example data:
"[ROOT];Earrings;Brands;Brands>JeweleryExchange;Earrings>Gender;Earrings>Gemstone;Earrings>Metal;Earrings>Occasion;Earrings>Style;Earrings>Gender>Women's;Earrings>Gemstone>Zircon;Earrings>Metal>White Gold;Earrings>Occasion>Just to say: I Love You;Earrings>Style>Drop/Dangle;Earrings>Style>Fashion;Not Visible;Gifts;Gifts>Price>$500 - $1000;Gifts>Shop>Earrings;Gifts>Occasion;Gifts>Occasion>Christmas;Gifts>Occasion>Just to say: I Love You;Gifts>For>Her"
Look up table of values:
Zircon, Diamond, Pearl, Ruby
Output:
Zircon
I tried using the VLOOKUP() function, but it needs to match an entire cell and works better for translating acronyms. Haven't really found a built in function that accomplishes what I need. The data is totally unstructured, and changes from row to row with no consistency even within variations of the same product. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?? Or how to write an OpenOffice Calc function to accomplish this? Also open to other better methods of doing this if anyone has any experience or ideas in how to approach this...
ok so I figured out how to do this on my own... I created many different columns, each with a keyword I was looking to extract as a header.
Spreadsheet solution for structured data extraction
Then I used this formula to extract the keywords into the correct row beneath the column header. =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(CF$1,$D769)),"",CF$1) The Search function returns a number value for the position of a search string otherwise it produces an error. I use the iserror function to determine if there is an error condition, and the if statement in such a way that if there is an error, it leaves the cell blank, else it takes the value of the header. Had over 100 columns of specific information to extract, into one final column where I join all the previous cells in the row together for the final list. Worked like a charm. Recommend this approach to anyone who has to do a similar task.
im trying to find an easy formula to do the following:
=IF(AND(H6="OK";H7="OK";H8="OK";H9="OK";H10="OK";H11="OK";);"OK";"X")
This actually works. But I want to apply to a range of cells within a column (H6:H11) instead of having to create a rule for each and every one of them... But trying as a range:
=IF(AND(H6:H11="OK";);"OK";"X")
Does not work.
Any insights?
Thanks.
=ArrayFormula(IF(AND(H6:H11="OK");"OK";"X"))
also works
arrayformulas work the same way they do in excel... they just need an ArrayFormula() around to work (will be automatically set when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Return like in excel)
In google sheets the formula is:
=ArrayFormula(IF(SUM(IF(H6:H11="OK";1;0))=6;"OK";"X"))
in excel:
=IF(SUM(IF(H6:H11="OK";1;0))=6;"OK";"X")
And confirm with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
This basically counts the number of times the said range is = to the criteria and compares it to the number it should be. So if the range is increased then increase the number 6 to accommodate.
I have a spreadsheet called "MTM Lookup", this is downloaded from a specific site, in column D of this spreadsheet are values, but these values have a formula attached to them. The formula rounds these values to 0. The formulas don't round on a specific cell. They look like this =ROUND(35370.6708773751,0) or =ROUND(48368.0427161566,0). I need the values to come through with all the decimals or rounded to 10 decimals but cannot get this to happen, I can remove the formula and leave the value but it is rounded to zero. Please could anyone assist with some simple vba to either remove the =round(,0) or replace the 0 to 10 ie round(x,10).
I don't see any problem in the formula you provided.
When I put
=ROUND(35370.6708773751,0)
to a cell, I correctly see 35371 in the cell.
There are, however, two things in play here.
Formula
Cell Format
For example, when I enter the following value to the cell:
=ROUND(35370.6708773751,10)
I do see 35370.67088 as a result (after rounding to 10 places, cell format rounds it again to 5 decimal places)
I don't know why entering the value without any formula shows you 0, but this leads me to the same suspscion, i. e. that the problem is in the cell format.
You can check it by right clicking on the cell > Format Cells (in office 2010 at least) or programatically, using the following, for example:
sheets("MTM Lookup").range("A:1").numberformat = "0.0000000000"
Hope that it helps.
I am making an editor for a field with numbers. I tried a text field, but since it's a Number datatype coming in, it didn't go smoothly -- despite recasting strings as numbers etc.. it kept giving me NaN as the value. So I decided it would be best to go with a numeric stepper.
When I initially loaded it up it would drop all my decimals and only display my numbers as integers. I changed the stepIncrement to 0.1 and now it does show the decimals (a weird requirement imo).. but when I step up it occasionally gives me a value like '17.700000000000003' when I would expect 17.7. All of the numbers in my data have a single decimal place. I know I can write a dataformatter, but it seems like it shouldn't be necessary in this situation.
Is there another way I could deal with this?
You've stumbled upon the compromise of trying to represent decimal numbers in floating point binary formats like IEEE 754. Not all decimal numbers can be exactly represented. You can read up on this issue in great detail here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point#Representable_numbers.2C_conversion_and_rounding
You can use Number.toFixed(fractionDigits:uint) to display to an arbitrary number of decimal places.
You can use the valueFormatFunction which takes the numeric value and formats it to a string. You will need to set explicit widths on your numeric steppers to make they fit though.
in your MXML
<s:NumericStepper valueFormatFunction="stepperFormatter"/>
in your script
protected function stepperFormatter(newValue:Number):String
{
return Math.ceil(newValue).toString()
}
i get price values from DB.
now whenever the price is perhaps 5, I want to show 5.00
if its 4.3 it should be 4.30.
how to convert that?
thanks
You can use the string format for decimal to apply this formatting.
YourDecimal.ToString("#,##0.00");
this should show 5.00, and 4.30.
Also it will show 1,234.56 groupings.
What data types do you use to store the price? It's a bad idea to store prices using floating point numbers because of precision issues. A fixed point number like a decimal is a better idea.
Once you're settled on a data type, you can use string formatting to display it correctly. See MSDN.
yourDecimal.ToString("N2") will also do the same
I never wrote a single line in Asp.net
