Custom Number formatting? - qliksense

I have a Qlik Sense chart with one Dimension and one measure. the numbers I got from the measure is (99,999861) I need a custom format pattern to have the numbers like 99,99 %.

click edit, choose the chart, open the data tab, expand the measure, under number formatting select custom. Format pattern would be something like this.
#,##0.00%

Here's the syntax: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/November2018/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Introduction/conventions-number-time-formats.htm
A few specifics from that page:
To denote a specific number of digits, use the symbol "0" for each digit.
To denote a possible digit to the left of the decimal point, use the symbol "#".
To mark the position of the thousands separator or the decimal separator, use the applicable thousands separator and the decimal separator.

how to change variable type to accept numbers more than 100 quintillion

I am a beginner in scratch and working on a simple program that speaks out numbers in multiples of 10 and the highest number it would speak using text-to-speech tool is 100 quintillion. After this it would start speaking in exponential format.
How can I change the datatype of variable in a way it accepts numbers more than 100 quintillion and wont change it to exponential format?
How can I change the datatype of variable
Well, first of all, you can't change the datatype of a variable in Scratch
accepts numbers more than 100 quintillion and wont change it to exponential format
The way Scratch works is that it does that and there is no lifehack I could find to fix this, but you could try deep searching the Scratch Forums
My first thought would be to use a base64 counting system as opposed to base 10, which humans use.
You are currently storing your number in base 10, where you are limited by the numbers 0-9; whenever you use up all of these digits, you must use another character space. However, since scratch doesn't restrict variables to only numbers, we can make use of non-numerical characters too.
Base 64 uses capital A to capital Z, then uses lowercase A to lowercase Z, uses all digits 0-9, then uses the symbols + and /. Luckily, Scratch supports all of these characters!

Formatting a numeric field to fixed length in crystal reports

I have a crystal report where a numeric field needs to be a fixed length with a decimal and needs to not round up or down. I changed it to a text field but now when I run the report and I forget to change the options in crystal for a number field to show ####.## it rounds to nearest dollar amount and drops the cents. How can I fix it so I won't have to remember to change the options?
An example may be helpful -
If the field is numeric, or decimal, you can right click the field, select "format field", click Customize, Number, and select the rounding and decimal logic.
if you don't have enough decimal places allowed (say, zero decimals) then make sure the rounding is not set to "1" - that would cause the number to round up. if the rounding is less than or equal to the decimal places, it should just 'truncate' and not round.

display specific number of significant figures rather than decimal places in crystal reports 2008

Good Morning!
I am working in Crystal Reports 2008 & have a report template that I'd like to use with various dynamic parameters (called in a downstream application).
My data can vary from being on a scale of 0-1 to a scale of 1,000-10,000.
I'd like to display it with 3 significant figures so when the report pulls in a dataset that
looks like this --> displays like this
0.76895 --> 0.769
0.6672 --> 0.667
1.0335 --> 1.03
but when the data set
looks like this --> displays like this
12,125.65 --> 12,100
956.35 --> 956
4,352.22 --> 4,350
My current work around is to make two templates-- one to use with my small value data, set to display 3 decimal places; and another to use with my large value data, set to display no decimal places.
I was wondering if there was a way to set significant figures displayed rather than decimal points?
Oh! I would do it in SQL first and pass it in as a string but I need these as numeric values so I can summarize them elsewhere in the report. Thanks.
If you right-click on your numeric field and choose format, Customize..under the number tab you get a bunch of choices to set the decimal separator, how many decimals to display, etc. choosing the formula button next to Decimals, you could put in a formula that looks at the amount of digits after the decimal dot and then either set the decimals to 2 if there are more than 3 decimals, and to zero decimals if there are 2 decimals. They key here is to get the order right. You want to check for the 2 decimals first and then for 3 or more decimals. If you do it the other way around the formula will display everything without decimals.
Hope that helps,
Chris
Use something like this.
ToNumber(Totext(<<DatabaseField>>,0,""))

SSRS Numbers Removing Decimal and keeping trailing numbers

I have a Report Using SSRS BIDS 2008 R2. I am looking for a method of converting my number by simply removing the decimal. I want to keep the numbers after the decimal just remove the '.'
The Goal:
Format a number (currently a currency) into a string but keep the trailing numbers.
i.e.
Current Value 30.56
Desired Value 3056
I have found numerous ways to remove the decimal but they all end up either rounding my number or removing the numbers after the Decimal point. I was wondering if it was possible to keep the numbers after the decimal place, but have no decimal.
I feel like I am missing something important here and will more than likely feel a little silly once it is pointed out.
Thanks in advance.
Just convert the number to a string and replace the .:
=Replace(Fields!MyColumn.Value.ToString, ".", "")

Choosing a checksum for short code to prevent typing errors

i need to choose a checksum algorithm to detect when users mistyped a 4 character [A-Z0-9] code by adding 1 character at the end of the code (in [A-Z0-9] also).
Summing ASCII codes and applying a modulo is a bad solution, since inverting 2 key strokes won't be noticed.
I would probably use the Fletcher algorithm, but i would like to know is anyone knows an algorithm designed for this use case (very very small amount of byte, position dependant) ?
Thank you.
You can try the ISO 7064 Mod x,y algorithms. According to the ISO description:
The check character systems specified in ISO/IEC 7064:2002 can detect ( http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics.htm?csnumber=31531 ):
all single substitution errors (the substitution of a single character for another, for example 4234 for 1234);
all or nearly all single (local) transposition errors (the transposition of two single characters, either adjacent or with one character between them, for example 12354 or 12543 for 12345);
all or nearly all shift errors (shifts of the whole string to the left or right);
a high proportion of double substitution errors (two separate single substitution errors in the same string, for example 7234587 for 1234567);
high proportion of all other errors.
There are some partial implementations you can find like:
http://code.google.com/p/checkdigits/wiki/CheckDigitSystems (includes Java and Javascript implementations of several checksums algorithms).
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/16540/Error-Detection-Based-on-Check-Digit-Schemes (explains and includes VC implementations).
For example, you could use ISO 7064 Mod 37,36, which can use 0-9 and A-Z (the data and the check character). The detailed description of the algorithm (if you don't feel like buying the ISO) can be found in:
