Number Format
Number Format determines how a numeric data value is displayed before rendering. Formatting only affects the display — the underlying raw value is not changed. Available on Dynamic Text in the General Design step, and on DataGrid both globally and per-column in the Column Configuration section.
How to Access
For Dynamic Text: 1. Navigate to the General Design step in the wizard. 2. Find the Number Format field.
For DataGrid: 1. Navigate to the General Design step in the wizard. 2. Find the Column Configuration section. 3. Set the Number Format for each column as needed.
Format Options
| Option | Description | Example (1234.5) |
|---|---|---|
| Default | No conversion; raw value is displayed as-is. | 1234.5 |
| Integer | Truncates the decimal portion. | 1234 |
| Decimal | Displays with a fixed number of decimal places. | 1234.50 |
| Percentage | Multiplies by 100 and appends a % symbol. | 123450% |
| Currency | Formats with a currency symbol. | $1,234.50 |
Tips
- For sensor readings, Decimal (1–2 places) or Integer is usually sufficient.
- If you store ratio or efficiency values in the
[0, 1]range, the Percentage option automatically renders them as%values (1.0 → 100%). - In DataGrid, each column can have a different format; leave text columns as Default.
