Re: [Dhis2-users] Number formatting

 

Hi Georgi,



So if you want to capture a whole number then you select Integer, Positive
Integer or Zero Positive integer. If you want to capture decimal values
then you select number. Although you cannot define the number of decimal
points you will be able to capture a value with decimals.

Hi Elmarie,



Thanks for the response! I am using 2.26.

The digit separator works good. The number of decimals cannot be selected
at data element level. I know this option is available with indicators, but
I can’t figure it out with data elements. Any idea?



Georgi

Hi Georgi,



Which version of DHIS2 are you using?



In later versions you can change the digit group separator to use in
analytics under System Settings > Appearance to comma, space or none.

The decimal values are determined by the datatype you select e.g. if you
select integer you cannot have any decimals thus select number and define
the number of decimal spaces.

I am not aware of anywhere you can add a currency symbol.

Hello all!



Is there a way to format numbers in DHIS2 to Use proper $ signs, commas,
and decimals for all display figures?

Example: 200000 to $ 200,000.00



Thanks!
