Title: Decimal Chart?
Post by: stroh on January 20, 2008, 08:47:27 AM
I need a decimal chart for Maddie's homework.  Anyone know of one online, or an easy(ier) way to make one? Without having to type it all, or write it long hand.
I tried, and Excel will count up for you, but it drops the zeros when not needed, and doesn't align the decimal points.  Makes it tough (for her) to read.

Need something like:
000.000
000.001
000.002
000.003
   ~
001.231
001.232

etc.

Muchos Garcias!  :)

Excel


1. Create Fill Series   (enter 0.000, 0.001, 0.002, drag down to end)
2. Highlight all cells
3. Right Click and choose Format Cells
4. Leftmost Tab , choose 'Number'
5. Enter the # of decimal places to always retain in view ( in your case,  3 would force 0.010 to show instead of 0.01)
6. Paypal aske  lots of $

If you get lots of $ for this you're in the wrong line of work.  ;) ;D

It will let me drag down, but not down and over.  Do I have to do it one column at a time?

What's a decimal chart? Do you mean a fraction-decimal conversion chart? Or is it just a single list of numbers from .001 to whatever?

BTW, if you figure out how to fill in the cells, the correct format should be "0000.000" (without quotes) under "Custom"--not "Number". You can PayPal me, and I'll see to it that Aske gets his share. ;D

Must be, I opened it and it looks exactly like what you wanted.

I don't know how you feel about Morpheus, but it's a way to download programs like Excel for free. I ended up downloading too much free pron, had to un install it. LOL.

Copy this into a blank text file on your desktop. Rename the file "Decimals.htm", and load it into your browser.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Decimal Chart</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function OnChange(txt)
{
var ihtml = "";
var div = document.getElementById("divtable")

var cnt = parseInt(txt.value);
for (i=0; i<cnt+1; i++)
{
	ihtml+= '<span>' + FormatNum(i) + '</span><br/>';
}
div.innerHTML = ihtml;
}

function FormatNum(n)
{
var ip = Math.floor(n/1000);
var dp = n % 1000;
return PadZeros(ip) + '.' + PadZeros(dp);
}

function PadZeros(v)
{
var x;
if (v < 10)
{
	return '00' + v.toString();
}
if (v < 100)
{
	return '0' + v.toString();
}
if (v < 1000)
{
	return v.toString();
}
return '';
}

</script>

</head>

<body>
<span>Number of items:</span><input type="text" id="txtnumber" value="0" onchange="OnChange(this)"></input>
<div id="divtable" style="width:100px; text-align:right; font: 6px courier"></div>

</body>
</html>

It's amazing what you miss by not logging on over the weekend.

Math and Excel is strictly a Monday to Friday jaunt for me.

I remember when we were kids we had to walk to school three miles in the snow uphill both ways. 

And our decimal charts had ha'pence, shillings and crowns. 

And excel meant do good at maths.

And all we could afford to drink was Strohs.

And Clive was infection free.

And the band played Waltzing Matilda.

LOL  I was waiting to hear that.  ;D

Actually, the table is not an assignment, I wanted it as a tool to visualize the relationships of those numbers.

In her math class, they have just introduced decimals, and are mixing them in with addition and subtraction.  She adds and subs just fine, but the one she is having trouble with is:

 Complete the sequence  .083, .088, .093, _____, _____, _____ .

I thought it would be easier for her to see it laid out sequentialy. (and me [sm_anon] )

If she's adding and subtracting just fine, just tell her to keep adding .005 to the last item in the series.  ;D

you should have her answer in binary or hex and see if the teacher's head explodes
