This tab is only visible for report elements based on a number. By default the language dependent format is used.

• Integer: the whole number only (property formula constant "integernumberformat")
• Currency: the number including the currency symbol (property formula constant "currencynumberformat")
• Fractional: the number including its decimal digits (property formula constant "fractionalnumberformat")
• Percent: the number multiplied by 100, with a percent sign (property formula constant "percentnumberformat")
• Use Custom Format: Use your own customized number format (property formula constant "usecustomformat")

If checked this element will be suppressed if its value or rounded value is zero.

Choose the number of decimals to be shown.

Choose where to round the number. The Decimals and Rounding values depend on each other and may change automatically.
Be aware that there is an exception in setting these value per formula.

Choose the Rounding modes for the number.

Choose the style for negatives.

Reverse the sign for display only.

Usually a field is clipped when the value does not fit into its designed space. As this might give wrong values (8 clipped to 3) you may want to disable this, but its better to correct the size of the field in design.

The separator used between the integer and fractional part.

Show a thousands separator or not.

Choose the thousands separator.

Check this to show a leading zero if the integer part of the number is zero.

Choose what to display if the value or rounded value is zero.

You can choose between showing no symbol or showing a floating symbol (attached to the value) or fixed symbol.

Choose where to show the currency symbol relative to number and sign. There are always four items with principle meaning as follows:

• leading currency, negative inside
• leading currency, negative outside
• trailing currency, negative inside
• trailing currency, negative outside

Be aware that the items of this box may change corresponding to your settings for currency symbol and negatives type. So it is possible that there are equal items in this list box.

The separator between currency symbol and value.

The currency symbol to use.

Specifies if the currency symbol will be displayed for all records of a field or only for the first record on a page.

Note that all properties can also be set by property formula. See the formula constants for help on which return values these property formulas should have.
