Decimal number format

monteiromonteiro Member Posts: 26
Hi everybody!

I tried to format a decimal number to get "76543.21" using:

FORMAT("Credit Limit LCY)",0,'<Integer><Decimals><1000Character,.>')

This is the Navision help file syntax, but not working... the result was: "76543,21" (comma instead of dot). And if I have "zero", the result is only "0" but I need "0.00".

What's the correct syntax?


Thanks in advance,

Monteiro

    Where is this display being sent to ? Is it for a report or is it in a form.

    If you look at the properties value of the field you can set it to always appear as 2 decimal places which i believe is what you want ?

    Hi jannestig,

    It's a dataport code. I have a DataItem (Customer table). I can't choose the fields properties... see that:

    T_LIMITE_CREDITO := FORMAT("Credit Limit (LCY)",0,'<Integer><Decimals><1000Character,.>');


    Thanks,

    IF you search in Mibuso for Decimal rounding solutions

    this one looked llike what you want.

    MESSAGE('%1',FORMAT(10000.1,0,'<Precision,2:2><Standard Format,2>'));

    If you simply change the DecimalPlaces Property of the field in Table then also it will work
