Re: Sorting Columns
There is a lession on how to format your display here: http://lessons.runrev.com/m/datagrid/l/7327-how-do-i-override-the-default-behavior-for-rendering-data-to-a-cell In short you need to override the default behavior of the datagrid column: 1. Create a new button and select it 2. Copy the default behavior script to your button via: set the script of the selectedobject to the script of button Default Column of stack revDataGridLibrary 3. Tell the datagrid to use your behavior instead via: set the dgProps[default column behavior] of group Your data grid to the long id of the selectedObject 4. Edit the script of your button What you need look for is the fillInData function Let say you want to display your big sales number as $ 1.000.000 (but still have the value saved as 100) you can change fillInData to on FillInData pData set the text of me to formatNumber(pData, ,, ., $ ) end FillInData Then you only need to add the formatNumber function... function formatNumber pNum, pSeparator, pCommaSign, pPrefix, pPostfix local tIsNegative, tRest, tCommaPos if pNum 0 then put abs(pNum) into pNum put true into tIsNegative end if put offset(pCommaSign, pNum) into tCommaPos if tCommaPos 0 then put char tCommaPos to -1 of pNum into tRest end if put char 1 to tCommaPos -1 of pNum into pNum repeat with i = length(pNum)-3 to 3 step -3 put pSeparator before char i+1 of pNum end repeat if tIsNegative then return pPrefix - pNum tRest pPostfix else return pPrefix pNum tRest pPostfix end if end formatNumber Finally if you just want to target a specific column for your formatting you can use the dgColumn property (or dgColumnNumber) to ensure you only format specific columns Let's say you have a column named Value that you would like to format but no other columns you can change fillInData to: on FillInData pData put the dgColumn of me into tCol if tCol is Value then set the text of me to formatNumber(pData, , ., $ ) else set the text of me to pData end if end FillInData Happy Coding! :-Håkan Bob Sneidar mailto:bobsnei...@iotecdigital.com 4 mars 2015 01:13 dgData returns an array. dgText returns delimited text. if the commas are thousand delimiters, then strip them.

Re: Sorting Columns
Sri is right about all that. I could surely have been more helpful about the difference between dgData and dgText. I assumed that tab and return delimited data implied a tab delim. All good, though.

Re: Sorting Columns
Thanks Bob! Any explanation is helpful since I am fairly new to data grids. The commas are thousands delimiters.
