Good Day!
I need some idea on how can I format the final value with (2) decimal places/round off of code below.
=Count(Fields!rClosedDate.Value) / Count(Fields!PostDate.Value) * 100 & "%"
Thanks in advance.
You can specify a format for numeric values using the Format property of the TextBox.
Examples of formatting string (full list here):
c: currency
d: decimal
p: percentage
To specify 2 decimal places you can set a formatting string like this: p2

I have a Population Estimate series with numbers as float64 and I need to convert them to a string with thousands separator (using commas). Using all significant digits (no rounding).
e.g. 12345678.90345 -> 12,345,678.90345
Try applying a comma-float string formatter.
population = population.apply('{:,.5f}'.format)
To achieve the desired formatting, you could use '{:,}'.format.
This will use commas as thousands separator and only output the values that are in your data and not clip or fill to a certain number of digits.
data = data.apply('{:,}'.format)
I have a very simple issue in MS-Access and somehow the solution eludes me. I want to display a field that holds a percentage with or without decimals. So I want to display the decimal separator only when there is actually a decimal in the field. This illustrates the problem:
debug.? format(0.21, "0.#%"), format(0.215, "0.#%")
21,% 21,5%
How to get rid of the nasty comma in 21,%. I tired al sorts of format options. I either always get a decimal or I get the value rounded, which I do not want.
How can I display 0.21 as 21% and 0,215 as 21,5% ?
You can use IIf:
PercentValue = Format(Value, "0" & IIf(Value * 100 = Fix(Value * 100), "", ".##") & "%")
Value = 0.21 -> 21%
Value = 0.215 -> 21.5%
I would like to format an integer 9 to "09" and 25 to "25".
How can this be done?
You can use either of these options:
The "0" Custom Specifier
value.ToString("00")
String.Format("{0:00}", value)
The Decimal ("D") Standard Format Specifier
value.ToString("D2")
String.Format("{0:D2}", value)

If its just leading zero's that you want, you can use this:
value.tostring.padleft("0",2)
value.ToString().PadLeft(2, '0'); // C#
If you have 2 digits, say 25 for example, you will get "25" back....if you have just one digit, say 9 for example, you will get "09"....It is worth noting that this gives you a string back, and not an integer, so you may need to cast this later on in your code.
String formate is the best way to do that. It's will only add leading zero for a single length. 9 to "09" and 25 to "25".
String.format("%02d", value)
Bonus:
If you want to add multiple leading zero 9 to "0009" and 1000 to "1000". That's means you want a string for 4 indexes so the condition will be %04d.
String.format("%04d", value)
I don't know the exact syntax. But in any language, it would look like this.
a = 9
aString =""
if a < 10 then
aString="0" + a
else
aString = "" + a
end if
I am writing some code in Visual Basic.net and have a question.
If I have a long number, that is larger than 1000, how can I format this value to be 1,000 (with a comma) and for this to be stored in a string?
For e.g.
1234 will be stored as 1,234
12345 will be stored as 12,345
123456 will be stored as 123,456
Is this done with a TryParse statement?
May I have some help to so this?
Take a look at The Numeric ("N") Format Specifier
General use:
Dim dblValue As Double = -12445.6789
Console.WriteLine(dblValue.ToString("N", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
' Displays -12,445.68
If you are only using integers then the following:
Dim numberString As String = 1234.ToString("N0")
Will show numberString = "1,234" as the "N0" format will not add any figures after a decimal point.
For those wanting to do a currency with commas and decimals use the following: .ToString("$0,00.00")
Using $ notation:
int myvar = 12345;
Console.WriteLine($"Here is my number: {myvar:N0}");
I am writing a custom totaling method for a grid view. I am totaling fairly large numbers so I'd like to use a decimal to get the total. The problem is I need to control the maximum length of the total number. To solve this problem I started using float but it doesn't seem to support large enough numbers, I get this in the totals column(1.551538E+07). So is there some formating string I can use in .ToString() to guarentee that I never get more then X characters in the total field? Keep in mind I'm totaling integers and decimals.
If you're fine with all numbers displaying in scientific notation, you could go with "E[numberOfDecimalPlaces]" as your format string.
For example, if you want to cap your strings at, say, 12 characters, then, accounting for the one character for the decimal point and five characters needed to display the exponential part, you could do:
Function FormatDecimal(ByVal value As Decimal) As String
If value >= 0D Then
Return value.ToString("E5")
Else
' negative sign eats up another character '
Return value.ToString("E4")
End If
End Function
Here's a simple demo of this function:
Dim d(5) As Decimal
d(0) = 1.203D
d(1) = 0D
d(2) = 1231234789.432412341239873D
d(3) = 33.3218403820498320498320498234D
d(4) = -0.314453908342094D
d(5) = 000032131231285432940D
For Each value As Decimal in d
Console.WriteLine(FormatDecimal(value))
Next
Output:
1.20300E+000
0.00000E+000
1.23123E+009
3.33218E+001
-3.1445E-001
3.21312E+016
You could use Decimal.Round, but I don't understand the exact question, it sounds like you're saying that if the total adds up to 12345.67, you might only want to show 4 digits and would then show 2345 or do you just mean that you want to remove the decimals?
