Examples

Example 1: Add the unit to a value

Situation

Operation setting

In this case, the format-string under "Data Format" is #,##0.00 kg. This means, that "kg" is added to each number in Column C.

The Semantics is changed to "Number".

Result

TIS Project

Confluence Op Format Columns.gzip


Example 2: Leave cells with value "0" empty.

Data Format # leads to empty cells if the value is 0 (zero).

Please note: Unfortunately, this does not work if decimal values should be shown otherwise.


Example 3: Color for negative, positive, neutral

Format-String for integer:

<font color="green">#,##0</font>;<font color="red">-#,##0</font>;null

This means: the positive part will be shown in green, the negative part in red, and zero values will be replaced by the text "null".

Please note:

  • This solution does not work if the setting in Web.config is validateRequest="true".
  • Not all formats can be processed by TIS Board. However, it contains some strong conditional formatting options.

In this example the format was set only for column "Werte 2":
