I am using apache echarts and I want to specify globally what the thousands separator should be.
By default it is a comma: ie I put in a number of 5000 and what is shown is formatted as 5,000.
I would like to specify different separator globally, or have it formatted automatically based on users locale is that possible?
As far as I know, it's impossible to set delimiter globally but Echarts already have API for format almost any value. If you need change value in tooltip use formatter, it's component attribute with callback support. You can define callback and modify any tooltip data.

I have a pie chart with labels that show both titles and values thanks to formatter.
The values are with commas (ex. 12,349) at the source, but the formatter gets rid of the commas and displays values without them (ex. 12349).
The formatter at the moment:
"formatter": "{b} \n ({#[1]})"
As I have some bigger numbers there, without commas they are difficult to read.
Is there a simple way to keep the commas in the values without using javascript?
Have a form I am trying to build and even though I have a text box field that will work for users to enter a $ amount it would be nice to make it so that field only accepts numbers and keeps it in the $0.00 format. Seems like a simple thing but I cannot seem to find out how this would be done.
You need to specify the field as a decimal or double and define the precision (depending on what version you are using). The field should NOT be a text field but can use a textbox as the displaying control.
From an output standpoint, it will not automatically output $0.00, you have to format that based on the culture. There are several macros and functions within the API to do this.
Setup you control as followed
make the Data type a decimal number
in the Editing control settings click to show the Advanced section
in Filter set Type to Numbers and Custom
Add Valid characters your delimiter (, or .)
In the validation section add a rule for the minimum value to be 0.
The data type will enforce it to be a actual number.
You could also use as Validation a Regular expression setting something like:
^[$]?([0-9]{1,2})?,?([0-9]{3})?,?([0-9]{3})?(\.[0-9]{2})?[$]?$
which will allow a dollar sign prefix or suffix.
In word, I'm using docvariables to manage pluralization.
A VBA macro is changing the value of several docvariables to pluralize / singularize them.
But sometimes I want to use a Docvariable only for enable/disable a 's' suffix.
Problem: I cannot set it to empty string, because it deletes the docvariable.
The field displays an error in word.
So I'm searching a way to achieve this, it could be :
A way to keep a Docvariable existing, with empty string or equivalent value
A field formula which make this job if the variable doesn't exist
Any other workaround would be appreciated.
Thank you
A Document Variable (used in DocVariable field codes) cannot exist if it has no content.
A possibility would be to also store the space in this DocVariable so that it display s[space] or just [space].
Otherwise you may need to write this information to a Bookmark (possibly using a Set field) and display the content using a Ref field.
I have overridden GWT TextInputCell.onBrowserEvent() to restrict input length and content.
I want to apply an input mask to format the input as the user types:
Enter 1234567890 and it is transformed to 123-456-7890 (telephone number).
I'd like to maintain the format during editing, such that a partial value is allowed
and dashes will be preserved in the partial value as well.
It would be nicer still to display the mask at all times, with blank space placeholders.
How do I determine, for each keystroke, where the cursor is within the input value?
In other words, I want to get the index of the value that's about to be added, deleted, etc.
Thanks in advance, any advice, examples appreciated.
I am building a dynamic reporting feature for a client. They want to create new stored procedures, and have them correspond to new reports. We are using T-SQL and each cell in a grid/report can have its own formatting and/or functionality.
I'm looking for a format specification to identify presentation, color and conditionals for data... for instance, I am thinking of something like this:
{data}|{format}
123.56|$#,##0.00
Results in ... $123.56
I am looking for standard ways to represent the formatting field, with the potential for colors and conditionals. Is there some standard out there already?
It all depends on what you're looking for. You have to ask yourself what types of formatting you wish to apply. Here's some cases you might want to consider:
In-line formatting
Do you want to have a cell that contains mixed formatting (e.g. "1234.567" shows bold, regular and italic in a single cell)?
Multi-column based output
Do you want to output a value in a cell that's based on multiple cells?
Cell1="1234"
Cell2="56"
Cell3={Cell1}.{Cell2}
---> which would output "1234.56"
If don't need either of those things, then all you want to do is provide a single format for the entire cell. Let's divide it into the two formatting elements: transformations and visual effects:
Formatting "1234.5678" into "1234.56" is a transformation. It has to be done by code that knows how to interpret the value as a number, and how to turn that number into the textual string of digit-characters.
Making a cell blue, or the text red, or bold - these are all visual transformations that are merely a set of attributes regarding the display of data in a cell. We don't care here about the type of data in the cell, since we just have to put pixels on a screen.
So, to bottom-line this: it's all about what you want to happen. If you're producing HTML reports, then HTML & CSS are very convenient methods for describing the visual-effects formatting of the cell, since you won't have to convert it twice.
As far as I know, there's only a couple of standards for encoding visual-effects display, and they are similar to SGML - TeX, HTML, PostScript, etc; they all have "tags" (sometimes with "attributes") to modify the display of the content within the tag.
Which leaves us the transformational formatting. There were two common approaches to this. The first is procedural. You list a set of transformations you wish to do on the data to turn it into text. Nowadays, we often use substitution masks, like in your example, $#,##0.00, or like in sprintf's %.2f, etc.
Again, just choose a formatting specifier that is the simplest to use in your environment. If you're coding in a language that accepts a certain format, then use it!
