The Number Format setting on Custom Fields allows you to define how numbers in the field will be displayed.
Number Format Value Display #,###.## 1234.5 1,234.5 #,###.00 1234.5 1,234.50 #.00 1234.5 1234.50 Currency 2000000 $20,000.00 Currency-EUR 2000000 €20,000.00 Currency-GBP 2000000 £20,000.00 Currency-QAR 2000000 QAR 20.000,00
Notes
- The Number Format setting applies in view mode, or when the values are displayed in a Web Page View, Report, MS Word Merge, List View, etc.
- Formatting will be applied when the record is in edit mode only if the setting "Show Currency Format in Edit Mode" is selected in the custom field settings.
- Any currency defined by ISO 4217 can be shown by using the appropriate three-letter currency code.
Important: in edit mode you must use a period (.) as the decimal, even if the currency defined uses a comma (,).
