Number Masking Syntax


You can use a format pattern to specify how a number column displays its data.  The following characters can be used to define the pattern:

  • # (Denotes a digit [0-9])
  • 0 (Denotes leading and trailing zeros)
  • . (Specifies the position of the decimal place)
  • , (Used as a group separator--e.g. ###,###)
  • % (Formats the number as a percentage)
  • ; (Pattern separator.  The first pattern will be applied to positive numbers, the second to negative numbers)

Examples:

  • mask="#.00"    value: 421    result: "421.00"
  • mask="$###,###"    value: 155463    result: "$155,463"
  • mask="##%"    value: 0.453    result: "45%"
