Numeric Format Strings

Enter numeric formats through a format string that contains one or more characters. The number of characters in the string determines how Data Archive displays the numeric value.

When the number of digits in the Data Vault target or target database exceeds the number of digits in the format string, Data Archive uses half even rounding. For example, if the value in the target database is 12.345, and the format string is

###.00

, Data Archive displays 12.35.

The following table describes the numeric format characters that Data Archive uses:

Character	Description
0	Digit. Display leading and trailing zeros. For example, if the value in the target database is 1.2, and the format string is 000.00 , Data Archive displays 001.20.
#	Digit. Do not display leading or trailing zeros. For example, if the value in the target database is 1.2, and the format string is ###.## , Data Archive displays 1.2.
.	Decimal separator or monetary decimal separator.
-	Negative sign.
,	Grouping separator. In most countries, the grouping separator separates thousands, but in some countries, it separates ten thousands. If you specify a format string with multiple grouping separators, Data Archive uses the interval between the last grouping separator and the end of the integer. For example, you enter #,####,### . Data Archive displays the number 12345678 as 12,345,678.
E	Exponent character. Separates the mantissa from the exponent in scientific notation.
;	Separator for positive and negative patterns in a format string. To enter a numeric format string that provides formatting for positive and negative values, enter the positive format string, the semicolon character (;), and the negative format string. For example: #,##0.00;(#,##0.00) Or: 0.00;-0.00 If you do not provide a negative format string, Data Archive uses the positive format string preceded with the negative sign.
%	Percent sign. Data Archive multiplies the numeric value by 100 and displays it as a percent value.
\u2030	Per mille sign. Data Archive multiplies the numeric value by 1000 and displays it as a per mille value.
¤ (\u00A4)	Currency symbol. Data Archive interprets ¤¤ as the international currency symbol.
