Formatting numbers depend on report parameter

kosta

Hello BIRT community,

I am using common table with columns as data report items.
The data shown in the columns are floats.

My question is, can I make the number formatting depend on report parameter i.e.
if the report parameter "test" has the value 2 the data should have 2 decimal places shown like 1,00 and if the report parameter "test" has the value 1 the data should have 1 decimal places shown like 1,0 and so on.

Thanks in advance,
Kosta

Hello kosta,

A code similar to this one in the OnPrepare method of your element should allow you to do it :

if (params["test"] == "1")
{
this.getStyle().numberFormat = "#,##0.0";
}

I hope it helps.

Thanks jhelbling,

that was the right hint that helped me a lot.

At the beginning I had problems with the locale because I didn't knew that the formatting should always be defined as used in the English locale (the definition of "," and "." can be found in the java doc of - java.text - Class DecimalFormat).

The translation of the ","-sign into the "."-sign and of the "."-sign into the ","-sign is done by the locale itself (I m using German locale).

Thanks again and cheers,
Kosta
