Decimal Format

The information on this page relates to the new upgraded interface of the IConduct platform. To view information about the Classic version of the user interface, follow this link.

 

This algorithm is used to format numbers under a specific column using a formatting pattern you specify yourself. The pattern is specified via the Format field.

 

Here are a few examples how the formatting can be applied:

 

Pattern Source Number Formatted Number
###.### 123.456 123.456
###.# 123.456 123.5
###,###.## 123456.789 123,456.79
000.### 9.95 009.95
##0.### 0.95 0.95
