How to display comma as decimal separator

Applicable Product:

  • OrgPublisher

Applicable Release:

  • V21 and later
  • 11.9 and later with HTML5 publishing


Summary:

In OrgPublisher, the decimal symbol used by default is the period/full-stop.  In order to display a numeric value with a comma for the decimal separator, as used in European countries, a custom Text field must be used in conjunction with the Formula function.  Here's how:

Note: In this example, the numeric field is called FTE

  1. Create a new custom field and set its type to "Text" - in this example, the field is called FTEDisplay
  2. In the "Formula" tab, enter this formula:
    return = Replace("$FTE$", ".", ",")
  3. Then save the formula
  4. Use this new field in your Profile View or in the Box formatting to display it
