Re: [Dhis2-users] Digit group separator in pivot table - what should the default value be?

[Jim Grace]

To me the most important way to address this is to allow an
implementation-wide default. The space character is in many ways the
"correct" separator according to international norms, and is even making
inroads into countries such as the US that traditionally use the comma. I
think the space is probably the best "factory" default for DHIS 2, so that
large numbers are readable on demonstration systems, and so we follow
international and emerging standards.

However, an implementation should be able to override this with an
implementation-wide default of comma, where a preponderance of users for
that implementation are more used to this, and/or where exporting to Excel
is a concern.

Expecting users to override the default every time they create a pivot
table is not very user-friendly.

[Prosper BT]

I vote for having none as default (1432) then one can choose what they want
in options

[Dhis2-users] Digit group separator in pivot table - what should the default value be?

[Lars Helge Øverland]

Hi there,

we are getting many (conflicting) requests for what the default value
should be for the "digit group separator" in the pivot table app.

So lets decide with a poll.. Cast your vote here before Friday 6th!

The digit group separator controls how large numbers are being split up,
e.g.

1 432
1,432
1432

The digit group separator can be controlled from Options.

[Dhis2-users] digit group separator in pivot table

[Shurajit Dutta]

Hi everyone,

Have having a problem using a digit group separator of "none" in the pivot
table app. This doesn't seem to have any effect on the group separator on
the table itself. Comma and space seem to work OK however.

The instance I am working on is:
Version:2.22Build revision:21920
I was also able to replicate this problem on the demo instance by selecting
a favourite and trying to change the separator as well.
Any ideas?
Nick
