1000 digits separator

Тема: 1000 digits separator

Hi GT

It would be great we we have 1000 separator sign "," in reports and some other part of system. It is important when we are working with big numbers like mileage of vehicles in a period of 6 month or more. It would be great if we have it as an option in user setting to apply this separator.

I have to mention that this idea is coming from Gressy Azrak, Gurtam partner in UAE and as I found it useful I posted it here.

Other partners please share your valuable opinions.

Re: 1000 digits separator

Hello, hhamedk!
I understood your suggestion. But I have such question: what do you expect to see in the Excel report? The thing is, this separator is not parsed and in the Excel can show only fractional part.

You can set exported file to contain these separators as Excel itself has possibility to add these separators in Format Cell. So, you just need to create Excel file and set cells which are subjected to this case to have 1000 separator. As an option you can even leave this function in Excel exported file as it's really easy in Excel to format numbers to has such separator.

Good day to all,

Thank you for your suggestion, it makes sens. This will simplify the work and analysis of indicators when working with large numbers in reports over a long period of time.
I noted it in our backlog. But I can't tell you the exact timing of the implementation it.

Re: 1000 digits separator

Hello mana, here in Brazil we use . (dot) instead of , (comma), and , (comma) instead of . (dot).
So many times we have to do some adjustments before using a report inside Excel.
Do you think Gurtam could do a new update for the inclusion of these cases?
Example: R$ 1.500.000,00

Re: 1000 digits separator

Hello Fernando Brochetto,

While we are not considering such a development, but it is potentially possible to move the setting of separators into the user settings and make it a regional setting (for example, as a time or date format).
But we have a lot of places in the system where a comma is used as a decimal separator, so the improvement is very labour-consuming. Because requests have not been received before, then you should not wait for implementation in the foreseeable future, but I will add the task to the list of proposals for product development. We will collect such requests.
