Api Well Number Format
Kristee Summerford
We are having an issue with Nprinting that I cannot seem to solve. I have the number format for the report correct in Nprinting Designer however when the task runs and the report published the number format changes. Report end user wants the report to use traditional German number format with (.) as the thousand separator and for this report no decimal values. As you can see in the picture below the value generated by the NPrinting Designer preview is correct. The image below that shows the PDF that is being published by the automated task, notice the thousand separator is now the (,). Number format in the QlikSense document itself is correct as well.
I can assume this is because of regional setting on NPrinting engine machine. Since PDF is generated on it it will inherit NPrinting engine settings. Now when it comes to XLSX files those often can change default format for thousand and decimal delimiters depending on the computer regional settings on which such file gets opened.
I had that thought as well on the regional settings on the Nprint Server however it appears they are set up correctly, and you are correct I am using a blank XLSX template and just publishing as a PDF.
Qlik NPrinting uses the regional settings of the computers where Engines are installed. One Engine could be installed in the same computer as the Server but if you are running more than one Engine be sure to change the regional settings of all of them.
Please note that filling in a new form means that we are in the process of registering a new household. I would like an identifier for each household each time a new form is filled in to be generated automatically, so that it can be used as a database for extracting information.
To do this, I therefore followed the solution that you proposed on the forum with the concatenation formula of the sub-prefecture, the village and a 3-digit number that the investigator must inform. However, this does not work as expected. Could you help me with the file so that I can see and understand my error? This part is in green at the beginning of the Xls form.
You need to download the XLS version of your form and closely inspect the form to see the incidence where you have referenced a question/varriable which does not exist. Check for any spelling mistakes. This is a form design issue and not a system issue.
On the second part of your query, and as you may have realized, this is not a provided functionality for form designs. You will need to create this based on your need. See a sample of what you can find when you search for discussions: You can also see a more relevant discussion here:
How?I can only change for and it is already the case.And how it will modify automatically the phone number each time it is inputted by users? By what magic it will replace the first 0 of phone numbers by 49?I specify, I want to store the phone numbers after the change, in this modified format.
And how it will modify automatically the phone number each time it is inputted by users? By what magic it will replace the first 0 of phone numbers by 49?It won't. It will let your users/agents enter the phone number correctly in the first place.
Thanks, but as I said, it does not work Here what I wrote previously:try to return anything else that the phone number, in function phone() but the phone number is always returned;I even, hopelessly, tried your code, but it does not work.
Below code i found can set the number format, but how to format the field to take a specific value XX. If i enter number it should be formatted in numeric format and should take the character XX as well.
When using a parameter control to change a measure in a chart, did you ever wonder how to also change the number format accordingly as well? With a traditional parameter control to change a measure, there is no number formatting. Even if you have set them previously to your measures. If you are not familiar with the concept of swapping measures with parameter controls, check out this post to refresh your memory. Also see this short video below demonstrating what I am talking about.
The swapping measures technique is a powerful tool to use for various reasons. One of them being a good trick to save space in your dashboards. Instead of creating multiple versions of the same type of chart with different measures. You can create a parameter to let the user change the measure on one chart.
As you can see from the video above, there are no currency or percentage icons, even though they were set on the measures beforehand. I will need to configure some more calculated fields in order to achieve this.
Since I want to show the spendings in billions, I divided the numbers by a billion and round them as well, since my data just shows the raw numbers (ex: 54,000,000,000 and 0.54). I did the same for the percentages by multiplying them by 100 and rounding also.
Once the prefix and suffix calculated fields are set, all we need to do is put them together. So, in our sheet, we will need to use all of the calculated fields that we created. If I want to display this information in text form. My calculated fields will all need to go into the Label marks card. And the configuration in the label marks card as so:
In the Sheets UI, you apply number and date formats to cells using theFormat > Number menu. In the Sheets API, you set these formats using aspreadsheets.batchUpdatemethod call to send anUpdateCellsRequestorRepeatCellRequest.
This page describes how to define new date and number format patterns, which youcan include in your API request. The sampleSet a custom datetime or decimal format for a rangeshows how to set a format pattern using the API. Note that the actual renderingof the format depends on the spreadsheet's locale. This guide assumes thelocale is en_US. You can determine the locale of a spreadsheet by readingtheSpreadsheetPropertieswith a spreadsheets.getrequest.
Sheets, like most other spreadsheet applications, treats date and time values asdecimal values. This lets you perform arithmetic on them in formulas, so you canincrement days or weeks, add or subtract two dates and times, and perform othersimilar operations.
The following table defines the token substrings you can use in a date-timeformat pattern. A + character indicates that the previous character can appearone or more times and still match the pattern. Characters not listed in thetable below are treated as literals, and are output without changes.
A number format pattern is a string of token substrings that, when parsed, arereplaced with the corresponding number representations. A number format patterncan consist of up to four sections, separated by semicolons, which define theseparate formats used for positive numbers, negative numbers, zero, and text (inthat order):
You don't need to include all four sections in a format. If you only include onesection, that format is used for all values. Using two sections causes the firstformat to be applied to zero and positive numbers and the second format tonegative numbers. Using three sections defines separate formats for positive,negative, and zero numbers. For example:
However, if there are two or more sections and the final section is a textformat, that section is treated as the text format and the others behave as ifthere's one less section. Thus, by including a final text format it's possibleto define formats such as:
In addition, each of the format sections can have optional meta instructions,enclosed in [] characters, that precede the format and provideadditional instructions. There are two meta instruction types and a givensection can use both:

The pro-number input crowd has legitimate concerns, primarily around accessibility. A number input has native increment/decrement buttons. It has built-in validation to verify it is a number. Certain mobile devices will show a number keypad instead of the full keyboard, making it easier to enter data. Using the number input makes it easier for screen readers as well.
There are so many drawbacks related to number inputs when dealing with complex and conditional logic, much of it related to JavaScript issues, that for the past few years I've decided to avoid using it.
If you are building a form that requires conditional validations or calculations, it is hard to understate just how big of a problem this is. The fact that the number input will allow a user to enter an invalid number value but not actually retrieve that invalid value (getting a blank string instead), makes the kind of validation I routinely get asked to deliver impossible.
All of these requirements necessitate using JavaScript. Generally, those might be the minimum requirements, and additional requests usually come in after some user testing. I can't do my job without being able to access those values, whether they are valid or not.
A highly usable form will leverage JavaScript to prevent users from entering or submitting invalid data. Back-end data validation is not just enough any more. Most of us find it annoying when we go through the trouble of entering data into a form without issue, only to click submit and find out some input was invalid. Using JavaScript for this kind of validation is absolutely essential for the kind of quality user experience most of us have come to expect.
Chances are likely that you used the input type="number" because you expected an integer to represent age or quantity. However, the number input will allow for scientific notation values; for example, 2.3e4, which represents 2.3 times 10 to the power of 4, or 23,000. If the number input value grows large enough, some browsers will automatically convert your input into exponential notation.
